Edit: Biden literally has nothing to gain from it. There is zero chance that as soon as the mics go live it doesn’t turn into a degenerate shitstorm from Trump, and he’s never going to out shout down a dimentia addled 5yo.
Even if Biden manages some good zingers in there, or some “serious” talking points, the people that need to here them never will.
I think there’s a chance that if he’s able to stay energetic enough throughout it, it may stave off the “yeah trump tried a coup but have you considered biden old?” crowd. This election is very likely to come down to some tight numbers in a handful to states, things like that may very well matter.
It could just as easily absolutely backfire if he has a fuckup though, so it’s risky as hell.
No of course not but things don’t happen in a vacuum. On balance, the alliance with Israel and the West is more important because it contains Iran.
There is no area more critical to global security than the Middle East for the next 100 years, and Iran is a time bomb of far right religious insanity. Iran has 90,000,000 people living in it, man. I’m talking about 90,000,000 people. 90,000,000. You want to talk about 30,000 as if its the end of the world, as if it matters more than an alliance that protects tens of millions of people, even from themselves? There are floods that kill 30,000 people in an afternoon. Hamas has allies all over the region that kills 30,000 civilians every year. The world isn’t going to cede any democracy, flawed or not, to Iran, or any other religious dictatorship, over a small town worth of people.
Preventing a larger war between Israel and Iran is how life and human rights will be secured and protected for new generations in the middle east, it will absolutely not come from any Imamate or Caliphate, or from any far right system of violent religious autocracy, such as are wildly popular and deeply entrenched in Gaza, Iran, and Yemen.
It would be an epic shitshow.

The Biden old crowd has moved on to Gaza. Every so often they replay the hits though.
I’ve never cared about Biden’s age. Centrists were ageist as hell during the 2016 primaries, and I don’t go there.
Biden supports genocide and he should stop. No matter how much it would disappoint centrist Democrats.
Biden doesn’t see it as a genocide and neither do a lot of people.
A lot of people don’t see the Holocaust as a genocide. Those people are stupid.
7,000,000 > 30,000. You sound overly emotional. Check your figures.
Are you saying that 30,000 is acceptable to you?
