Then you’re an idiot. It doesn’t matter that Fox News will try to make something an issue. They’re going to call Democrats antisemites while chanting the great replacement theory regardless of what Joe Biden does and everyone who’s going to be influenced by them is already lost to him for five other made up crises. Liberals like you are continually jumping at the shadows thinking there’s some masterful triangulation that will thread the needle just right to make the rightwing mediasphere unable to push a message while completely losing the plot about how that comes across to the voters that actually matter.

The very instinct to just duck and defend at every turn is why we lose on issues like this where the majority of the country are with us. Chuck Schumer isn’t some DSA member and he had it right: take the political fight to the people who mean to do us harm and define them as the problem. Biden should be spurning Netanyahu, both because it’s the right thing to do and the right political move, and he should be saying it out loud, defining the narrative rather than waiting for it to be defined for him. There’s a perfectly good message here about the United States as a moral force promoting a just international order and the dangers presented by rightwing fascists motivated by hate and putting personal needs above what is good for their nations.
