In other news: Glasses needed? Biden administration fails to read the room, runs into walls
Why would they do that? Everyone is going to vote for him regardless of what he does (other then die of natural causes, but even then.) There is absolutely no downside for the people behind this decision, and they all stand to benefit either monetarily or for future career prospects.
Except a majority in the US disapproves of Israels recent actions and they are risking their victory - which is likely gonna be a close one - for next to nothing. Even if they really don't give a fuck, they could have just postponed the decision.
So what? Do you think the dems care about what "blue no matter who" liberals approve of? What are they gonna do vote for trump?
They might choose to sit it out, abstain. This election is not a sure thing for Biden, and the polls are pretty clear that Biden needs to stop supporting Israel like yesterday. Hilary had hubris in 2016, and so too does Biden seem to have hubris right now.
Uhm, no, you might be surprised, but I'm not worried about voters who's vote is set in stone.
Don't worry the Dems aren't worried about those votes or any other voters either.
Ok sure buddy, enjoy living outside reality.
