    Biden did it because he thought it was the right thing to do.

    Biden did it because it was the best option available to him at that time.

    He either played ball with AIPAC or got shut down by them. He didn’t have the points to oppose them. It didn’t make it right, there is blood on his hands. In hindsight, he never had a chance and could have at least made a showing to stop it.

    If he hadn’t done it, he would have assuredly lost to Trump, who would do it anyway (as we’ve seen). He needed to get in to hit the brakes or it would have been for naught anyway. Harris had the same problem, barely enough points to show, AIPAC would have smothered her as well.

    I’d like to say that they would definitely have stopped it if AIPAC wasn’t standing at their neck with a knife, but I don’t know that for sure.

    I’d also like to say that if they would have stopped it, we’d all have joined to them and voted our asses off in swing states and made the decision work. But honestly, I have less faith in the US people than I have in the Democrats, and that’s saying something.
