Biden willing to risk American democracy

"Biden himself and the Democrats have defined this election, against what most likely will be Trump, as a question about the survival of American democracy. If that is the case, then one truly has to ask oneself, what is it in the slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza that is so important to the US that Biden is not only willing to risk escalation in the region and getting dragged into another war, he’s not only willing to risk his own reelection—we’ve seen what’s happening in Michigan and many other states—but he’s apparently, based on his own statements, also willing to risk American democracy?" —Quincy Institute’s Trita Parsi (CounterSpin, 2/23/24)
