    Biden can’t win here. Whatever he does, he’s going to alienate a huge voting bloc. The best option could just be for him to choose not to run.

      While it’s awful, it’s nevertheless true that he will always do better being seen as Islamophobic rather than as antisemitic. The amount of shit he’d get from all sides if he supported the Palestinians from the start would dwarf the current amount of shit by an order of magnitude.

        I mean, this has become more than just islamophobe vs antisemite. What Biden is facing is being rightly called accomplice to genocide, at a time when support for Palestine has already overtaken that for Israel among democrat voters.
