The data show the Democratic Party retaining advantages among people of color and young adults, but in 2023 it was in a weaker position among these groups than at any point in the past quarter century. Democrats’ reduced support among Black and Hispanic adults should be especially concerning for the party, given Republicans’ continued strength among White adults, who remain the majority of the electorate.
No. He does not. He certainly doesn’t have to back them unconditionally, and he doesn’t have to circumvent congress to do so.
For reals, or is this more “trust me, he’s totally acting behind the scenes”?
As much as Israel can be a shitty friend they’re the only real one we have in the region, so kinda yeah we do. And its not unconditionally - Blinken has explicitly told them to avoid civilian casualties and fostered the cease fire that already occurred. Have they pulled back and deescalated as much as we want? No. Have they done some and continue to do awful shit? Yes. Have they pulled their punches somewhat due to external (our) pressure? Absolutely.
It’s a near impossible puzzle - ignore Oct 7 and it escalates. Decimate Gaza and … it escalates. Engage Iran and it becomes a regional war (which the Iran-backed Houthis are trying to trigger). If we say F it and withdraw then what do you think happens? Everyone just chills out? I don’t have magic solution, nobody has for 70 years. Biden is walking the same tightrope and so far has things simmering instead of exploding.
Yeah, and when they don’t listen, we’re going to support them at the same level we would have if they did.
If that’s not unconditional, where’s the condition?
Meanwhile, back in reality, Israel just lost $17B in US aid, with more to follow.

So the House is dysfunctional and that somehow means Biden hasn’t unconditionally supported Netanyahu’s genocide?
The height of morals. We refuse to fund genocide because we can’t be assed to find the money.
Yaaaay.
And that’s the Republicans. Show us where the white house is enacting the Leahy Law.
Actually aid has been slow walked but you’re not wrong that we’d almost certainly come through and not leave them in the lurch.
