Summary

President Joe Biden leaves office with a legacy of leading the U.S. out of the COVID-19 pandemic, advancing infrastructure, semiconductor manufacturing, clean energy, and rallying global support for Ukraine.

However, since live television’s rise more than half a century ago, the skills needed to run for president have diverged from those required to govern.

This led many voters to doubt his capability despite his achievements, forcing him to withdraw from the 2024 race.

Meanwhile, voters have been less critical of Donald Trump’s age, overlooking unpopular policies like tariffs that hurt farmers and manufacturing.

Many Republicans and independent voters accepted Trump’s false claims about the 2020 election being stolen and justified the January 6 Capitol attack, enabling his return to office.

      Yes, it was wrong of the US to send weapons, but Netanyahu would have gone ahead with the genocide regardless of what the US did.

        No he wouldn’t have.

        Israel is a client state that is completely dependant on the US for weapons and money.

        That is why every war they’ve ever fought was forcibly ended by US presidents.

        Most recently with single phone calls as seen in the Reagan administration, the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration.

        Your take is ahistorical nonsense that can only come from either complete ignorance of recent history or a bad faith attempt to justify Biden’s desire to commit genocide.

        EDIT: we don’t just give them weapons. Slightly over a third of ALL U. S. Foreign aid spending has gone to Israel.

        Man with limited bullets tries to rob bank.

        Man with unlimited bullets robs bank and kills everyone.

        You can see the difference right?
