He's been doing things I like on a regular basis. Here's today's example
Hey good for you! We all have things we care about. Top of my list is not doing a genocide. To be fair, I'm not sure how important the anti-genocide bloc is. I'm sure Biden has people doing the math.
Well, I'm sure that voting Trump in (by not voting) is totally going to stop it.
This isn't a both sides bad thing - it's a one side bad, other side literally talking about using nuclear weapons thing.
It's almost like he's trying to walk the line around restraining Netanyahu while also not creating a situation which enables Hamas to commit genocide. I can get behind that.
Especially when the Republican position is 'nuke the Palestinians'
Walking the line? Giving billions in lethal aid (very recent "pause" notwithstanding) to a country actively engaging in genocide, is just pragmatism? That's not convincing enough for me. "Hey Jack, we gotta give Israel military and political aid while they bomb children in a barrel, because if we didn't, 200 guys with AKs and unguided rockets might wipe out the most heavily armed and technologically advanced countries on earth!"
