Democrats do a lot of really stupid stuff. It's just that you guys actually like it.
Like, why is Biden supporting the Saudi's genocie and why is nobody talking about it? I don't like that, but Republicans do. Literally nobody criticize Biden for the things that are actaully worthy of criticism.
Come on, this particular example is really easy to understand: Saudi Arabia is the world's biggest exporter of oil and the ringleader of OPEC. If you really piss them off, they have the power to unilaterally send oil prices soaring and drastically reduce the purchasing power, and thus the standard of living, of Americans. It is an unethical, cyncical, but ultimately correct calculus to assume that Americans prioritize their economic self-interest over the livelihood or human rights of the Yemenis. Also, since there are Iranian proxy forces operating in Yemen, it's easy to argue that the Saudis are not the sole villain/aggressor (even if a majority of the blame falls on them).
