    it is an ethical impossibility for her to publically endorse him for a second term

    I get your point, it is a tough spot. But when you introduce that stance to reality, it quickly goes from “not supporting Biden” to “allowing Trump”. Biden not being the ideal doesn’t mean the alternative is better. Between the two, Trump will cause considerably more harm to her cause than Biden ever would. I am not saying Biden is the solution, just that Trump is worse for her ethical issues. That’s the choice. Sucks but… that’s the choice.

      Biden isn’t “not ideal”. He’s very handily hit rock bottom. I mean Trump wouldn’t be better, that’s for sure, but Biden has done everything under the sun in the current “war”. I see everyone saying Trump would be worse, but like what did Biden leave for Trump to do? Give them weapons? Check. Lie publicly for them (remember the 40 babies)? Check. Dispatch aircraft carriers to protect them from anyone with an ounce of conscience in the region? Check. Trump would be spouting genocidal rhetoric (more than he is anyway), but that’s about it.

      Edit: Added a question mark.
