Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) said policy differences toward Israel between her and President Biden won’t stop her from supporting him in the November general election.

“Of course,” Omar said Tuesday, when asked by CNN’s Abby Phillip on “NewsNight” whether she would vote for Biden if the election were held that day, in a clip highlighted by Mediaite. “Democracy is on the line, we are facing down fascism.”

“And I personally know what my life felt like having Trump as the president of this country, and I know what it felt like for my constituents, and for people around this country and around the world,” Omar continued. “We have to do everything that we can to make sure that does not happen to our country again.”

    Disgusting. Or we can not support him and set a precedence for the rest of time that a president cannot survive genocide.

      You can work within the system or outside of it. Within the system there are only two actual presidential options, Republican or Democrat.

      I despise Biden for what he’s complicit in as well, but on election day there’s not much we can do. We’re not getting every Democrat to vote for a third party, and even if we did it would still have to get past the electoral college. The time to fight within the system is every other day.

      Now if you’re talking about sending messages in other, more old school french ways…
