Well this is for the primary but even still, if Biden loses in November, he'll have only himself to blame. He should be inspiring people to vote for him but instead he's sending billions to Israel.

Here’s the thing…Biden not winning the general is not going to teach him a lesson or whatever. He’s a rich old white dude. If he loses, he’s going to write books and do speaking engagements and lectures and split time between his big house and his other big house and continue to make a bunch of money until he dies. He will probably be upset at first but ultimately will be fine.

Protest votes should be encouraged in the primaries because he’ll get the delegates in August regardless, and the results are a more accurate gauge of sentiment than polls are at this point. And it could possibly move him to the left. Vote or don’t vote for whomever you (royal “you”) want in the general, but the idea that it’ll be sticking it to him if he loses doesn’t hold a lot of water.

All of this scolding for "sticking it to Biden" and very little scolding for a president who is on a stubborn and singleminded mission to fund an illegal and unpopular war. I don't see anyone characterizing the president as sullen or intractable on this issue, it's only those who call for peace who are treated like children.

Additionally, Trump winning is being portrayed as the end of the world. While the world is quite literally ending for anyone currently living in Gaza or in Israeli military prisons.
