You should definitely quit while you're behind.
Shutting down the border does not negate Biden's progressive policies.
Biden has actively contradicted netanyahu since the war started, and has openly said he won't support an extended war and is focusing on a two-state solution.
He's expanded healthcare in a ton of ways(lower premiums, increased access to Obamacare, expanded Medicaid eligibility, LGBTQ coverage, mental health services, telehealth services, reducing drug prices) while pursuing the policy he prefers. That does not negate Biden's other progressive policies either.
Biden has not signaled that nothing will change, biden has progressively reformed social, civil, business, economic domestic and foreign policies.
Biden has routinely set the US up as Netanyahu's staunchest ally where it actually matters: delivery of weapons and money,
He bypassed congressional review to send tank shells, asked congress for removal of all arms export restrictions on Israel, sent us military assets to assist in surveillance and target selection, and that's just what we know about.
On other fronts, the US is the only vote standing between Israel and UN sanctions.
Following a major terrorist attack, Biden is continuing a 70 year mutual defense policy with an extremely active ally, and now that there is undeniable evidence that the ally is committing atrocities, Biden is diplomatically trying to draw down the aggression in a war he has no soldiers in.
Committing genocide is going to be his only legacy, none of us are ever going to forget the callous and the cold-hearted treatment to innocent Palestinians, most of which are children with blown off arms and legs by Israel
Since he hasn't done either of those things, don't think we have to worry about it.
How absurd can you get?
US presidents have been supplying military arms and funding to Israel for 70 years and Israel has been blowing up Palestinian schools and hospitals for 70 years, and none of you remember presidents for any of that.
You should go look at my comments from three and a half or four months ago right after October 7th when I was talking about Palestinian rights and what was going to be the concluding chapter in the Israeli genocide of the Palestinians, when every comment was talking about how the Israeli were the good guys and the Palestinians were all terrorists.
Your assertions are such empty, bandwagon bullshit.
Biden,at least in his first term, will hopefully be remembered for not acting quickly or comprehensively enough to halt the concluding chapter in the 70-year war against Palestine that he has no soldiers in, but given that he's already protesting against netanyahu's policies more than any other president ever in 70 years, people are not going to forget all of the positive domestic and foreign policies that have helped millions of people.
