    No, I don’t support Williamson. She was more coherent on some issues than I expected in 2020, but on whole she’s not a serious candidate with real solutions that should run anything. Also, for a peace candidate, Williamson actually wasn’t initially as unequivocal about the war as you’d expect. She got there eventually, but it should have been a simple answer. It’s not a complex question, cease fire and no more arms for ethnic cleansing. If they won’t stop, start the sanctions. “What about Hamas” went out the window with the 5,000th civilian casualty.

    No one but Biden has a serious campaign on the Democratic side (and third parties have never been viable). All the people who could have put forth a serious campaign deferred to him when it wasn’t as clear how weak a candidate he was. He should have stepped aside from the start, but his extreme support for Israel’s ethnic cleansing has turned a potential for weakness into terrifying danger. However, since modern political custom dictates that incumbents should never be opposed by their own party, he gets to make the decision for all of us and we’re just stuck with him.
