It's a good point. Biden's unconditional support for Netanyahu is not helping him at all (even though he seems to be trying to mediate in the background, he's not very successful and the optics are really bad).

But the question is, who else would be a candidate with enough support? He's counting on the incumbent bonus now but I also doubt it's good enough, if "not Trump" is the main thing he has going for him. I don't know US politics well enough to know about any alternatives. Buttigieg maybe?

But another Trump reign would be bad for the whole world order and climate so I really hope that won't happen.

I think a Bernie win would be amazing but I doubt he has enough hardliner support even on the Democratic side.
