A Failed Presidency

I will be among the few people on the left who will rate the totality of the Biden presidency as a failure. All the good things accomplished on the domestic side are totally overshadowed and outweighed by the administration’s unabashed support for Israel’s Gaza genocide, which Israel has now widened into the West Bank, Lebanon, and Yemen. Cabinet members are openly talking about an all-out attack on Iran.

I have to assume that Biden and his War Cabinet never had any intention of pushing a ceasefire in Gaza. The US has a tremendous amount of leverage with Israel and exercised zero amount. As a lame duck, even if he wanted to now, that leverage has expired.

Bibi wants Trump to win the election. AIPAC (which determines American foreign policy vis-a-vis Israel) wants Trump to win. Biden, and now Harris, have done all they can to increase the odds of Trump winning.

I have already voted for Harris. I hope she wins. It’s not looking good. I hope I’m wrong. Joe Biden’s failed presidency hasn’t helped.
