I think you've got the right suspects but the wrong motives. It's not mainly about selfishness or elections, but imperialism and empire. Through the whole election and all the cultural war fronts, there was no disagreement between the parties about funding the genocide. They all voted tio supply every bomb. The US empire has been slipping away and Israel has been their most reliable cop on the beat in the Middle East. And Biden is no different that all the other dems, going back to LBJ and JFK, war mongers all. The Dems have never offered us a home, more like a homeless shelter. No need to go back and rebuild it. Good riddance. Here's what Engles said on the subject in 1891: "Nowhere do ‘politicians’ form a more separate, powerful section of the nation than in North America. There, each of the two great parties which alternately succeed each other in power is itself in turn controlled by people who make a business of politics . . . We find here two great gangs of political speculators, who alternately take possession of the state power and exploit it by the most corrupt means and for the most corrupt ends."

And once again HamNo takes whatever confusion or angst or trepidation I had about a topic and completely disintegrates it in a force of amazing writing. God damn what a blog.
