Continued trump era boarder policies significantly harming refugees.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't his Administration forced to continue those by SCotUS?

Has doggedly supported israel in their current genocide campaign.

Agree, but that looks like it's starting to turn as well.

    Honest question, where have you seen this?

    All I've seen is talk about possibly maybe telling them to stop genociding. Other than that it's business as usual. The whole siding with Israel at the ICJ trial isn't a great look

    In international politics, there are very few unscripted statements. What is said is an important reflection of a country's concerns, and behind-the-scenes demands. There is a distinct contrast between statements from before the current crisis and statements since, especially compared to the unconditional bootlicking normally offered by the US State Department to Israel.

    We are at a point where support for the current course is wavering, and there is the possibility of change in our Israel policy, depending on how the opinions of the electorate continue to develop on the issue.

    Remember when Kamalla Harris said during her speach at COP28 something about the US putting pressure on Israel and then not a week later the US vetoed the resolution for a Cease Fire at the UN Security Council?!

    It's wasn't even that long ago that this happenned.

    There really is no reason at all to believe that the Biden Administration has finally given up on their practice of trying to sway voters their way by nothing more than "talking the talk" whilst completelly refusing to "walk the walk" (at times, quite the contrary)

    Some, but he's also put some effort of his own on being seen as 'tough on the border' due to increased migration.

    A stupid decision, but a predictable one considering the hand-wringing our population goes through every fucking time there's a bump in scary furriners coming in to this land which our ancestors were born i-oh, wait
