Many may feel they have no genuine choice but to support a candidate they don’t fully believe in, fearing that backing the other choice will cost them socially or professionally. The result is an erosion of one of democracy’s core values: the free and open right to choose.

    Congress does that. In fact, House Republicans passed a bill to prevent Biden from stopping certain arms shipments to Israel. It didn’t get to the floor of the Democratic majority Senate, though.

    I’ll give you a pass for not understanding US politics, since you certainly don’t live here.

      The Republicans made Biden take offense to being called a Palestinian by Trump and then equate Palestine to Hamas, and constantly saying we will always support Israel, and proudly proclaiming he’s a Zionist? Yeah, maybe you should stop acting like this is merely a Congress issue when anyone with ears and eyes can see through your gaslighting.
