    In your words of a tough choice… The moral choice is not tough. The quick “just do it” take is not tough. It’s easy to just throw all in.

    The actual steps that must be made at the level of potus are tough even with the will. The time, the complexity, the repercussions, the fallout… the reality that is a little less clear than “all or nothing” is hard. The ship does not turn on a dime.

    Not disagreeing with you but just saying it’s not a simple choice, but instead a tough direction in a world where the GOP sees presidential powers only apply to republicans and democrats aren’t even citizens.

      There are many things that can be done, but biden isn’t doing any of them. There are also things he could simply not do (e.g. supplying weapons), but he goes out of his way to do them. I’d understand if biden was trying to do the right thing, but he’s really not.

        I would argue that they are being done but you’re not seeing the effects quite yet.

        I can dig it. While the compromise is unfortunately still ongoing, it’s important to not get caught up in compromise

      How hard is to just not sign a piece of paper that gives tens of billions to Israel? Seems pretty easy to me.
