    I didn’t say I approved of it, I just said that’s the political calculus.

      But you understand how Biden breaking US and international law makes people who are disengaged think both parties are the same?

      Like, we can tell at them and scold them that it’s better when Dems do it…

      Or Kamala can come out and say she’ll follow the law. Considering she has said multiple times she has no issues with how Biden has done things and wouldn’t have done anything different…

      That only hurts Dems and makes trump (way worse shit) look acceptable.

        Yeah, that’s nice. You’re still appealing to something moral though, and what I’m trying to tell you is that that’s mostly irrelevant to politicians. They know they need to appeal to the masses to stay in power if they want to do anything, so appeal to the masses they will. And the masses don’t really care about international law.
