Right!? I've been so confused by the notion of Trump being the anti-Israel vote. That's not what I heard him say.
Muslims who voted for Trump upset by his pro-Israel cabinet picks

The Harris/Biden comparison was more valid, although we can't be sure she would stay that path once in office and with pressure from Congress and public. But at least there was a chance of both of those. Anyone who thought Trump wouldn't ramp things up or would listen to calls for change...I don't know what they were thinking. He's never done that, never been like that. His history as a businessman and as a President for four years is right there to review.

I mean yeah he would be/is, at least until Israel's genocide is over. There is literally nothing Trump can do (at least while beholden to the public and Congress) in this war that Biden hasn't already done.

I'm not.
A significant percentage of likely Democratic voters in several states voted "undecided" in the primaries with the public, stated purpose of making it clear to Biden/Harris that they wanted changes with regard to US policy on Israel's genocide.
Biden/Harris ignored them.
Of course they didn't get those votes. It's one thing to double-down on bombing kids. It's another to double-down on bombing kids and also tell voters to go fuck themselves.
