Hey, a while back I created !askpolitics@lemmy.world for questions like “How do I register to vote in Kansas?” or “What is the difference between a primary and a caucus?”
Unfortunately, it’s kind of dead. I’ll bet links from here would liven it up. Interested?
The “both sides” thing, as you put it, is acknowledging that Hamas started this current round of violence with its horrifying actions on October 7th, which is the truth. But she also specifically called for Palestinians to have the right to self-determination and autonomy, which is further than Biden was willing to go.
Israel is currently being run by a corrupt madman. Sadly, so are its neighbors, particularly Iran. That puts the United States in the unenviable position of trying to prevent Israel’s destruction (which would be a once-in-a-century horror) while trying to pressure the corrupt madman in charge of it to end his own genocidal assault on Gaza.
Now imagine Trump in charge. Trump would be actively working to make things much, much worse.
Ah, the guy who heard that song by Harley Poe and thought it was an instruction manual.
