Thinking about Biden’s address to the country last night, he did something remarkable that I didn’t realize at first. After the Hamas attack, I assumed that any chance of peace had been set back decades. Biden steered me back from the cliff: no, we cannot give up on peace, even when it is hard. 🇺🇸

@manton really?

Why in the world would you look to someone like Biden to figure out whether you want peace or not?

That seems like a strange place to look to make up your mind on such a thing.

@volkris To be clear, I always want peace. But after last week it seemed like it would be perpetually out of reach. Biden was saying he hasn't given up, so neither should we.

@manton I just really don’t understand why it matters what some bumbling politician says.

I wouldn’t let my personal opinions be shaped by the less worse person able squeak by in an election.

@volkris @manton what G8/NATO/etc. leaders say does move the needle, and they often don’t quite say the right thing, out of incompetence or fear of diplomatic repercussions.
