It's a bad argument to blame Biden for what Netanyahu did. Israel is weird subject no American president can be even remotely critical of without getting burned politically

Biden witholding bombs from Israel would hurt his reelection just as much as it would by giving them.

The blowback Biden got for holding up a single arms shipment to Isreal was SEVERE. Not only did it not go far enough to appease those like myself who are appalled at what Netanyahu has not only done but will continue doing, it pissed off every religious nut who thinks that Israel is beyond reproach.

It was a major shot in the foot from the entire country for even attempting to do anything about it.

But not even as major as him just getting old and messing up a debate.

That's really all it took, that and corporate greed by price gouging Americans and those same corporations calling it inflation and blaming Biden for it.

My biggest gripe with Biden is with Ukraine. It was our chance to shine on the world stage, but Biden always played a day late and a dollar short getting arms shipments to Ukraine.

That and touting those arms shipments primarily by their dollar value, which Trump was quick to seize upon and easily convince morons that Ukraine is just a money pit.

The dollar amount should have been the last thing he mentioned, not the first.

Even without Trump it made people who can't even afford to put a decent meal on the table for their families wonder why they have it so hard while we're "shipping billions of dollars to Ukraine"

It took Biden way too long to attempt to explain that the vast majority of the money stays here in the US and is used to create jobs replacing the old arms and ammunition that we're sending to Ukraine from our own stockpile.

Trump has no substance, but excellent messaging.

Biden has nothing but substance, but terrible messaging.
