Let's say hypothetically that Joe Biden's position on Israel costs him X votes in the right places and he then loses by < X votes. You can go all out blaming the X voters for that, but if Biden could have made different decisions that lost him fewer votes (for example, he's made decisions that go *beyond* what your average Biden-supporting Israel-defending Liberal would demand) and changed the outcome, it's still his fault far more than it is any individual who didn't vote for him.

As someone who will vote for Biden in a state that will almost certainly go for him regardless of my input, it's still annoying for me to see people micro-target people who are like "actually this might negatively impact how likely I am to vote for Biden" if they're not going to make a case that Biden will lose *more* votes by taking [different position]. The Biden administration should be actively trying to win the election rather than just saying "Trump would be worse" and hoping that helps them cross the finish line.

The idea that the Democratic candidate can be as **** as they want to if they're facing Trump is just as dumb as 2016 when I voted for Hillary (though in Nebraska so it was basically worthless).
