If you want a president that cares more about Americans than America, then you’ll love Joe Biden. If we compare republican to Democrat options of the past, you’d have to go back to Bush senior before you could even find a competitor to Biden. Before that, I think you’re back to Eisenhower.
Biden does the best he can, but the president’s powers are limited. Even when he tries to exercise them faithfully, he’s stopped by the republican supreme court.
To reduce those complex issues to single sentence, overly simplified questions is willfully disengenous.
No one is stopping Biden from ending aid to Israel - not congress, not the supreme court, no one. It is only this administration’s estimation that doing so would lessen our influence in the region that is preventing it.
Biden is angry and frustrated that the American people don’t value retaining and extending regional power in the middle east as much as he does. He cares about us, but doesn’t want us to get in the way. Henry Kissinger may be dead, but he still has a lot of influence.
Again, this is overly simplifying an extremely complex issue, and even in your own words you acknowledge the complexity while sweeping it under the rug.
The choices that are presented to and decided by the president are rarely so easily evaluated and it is hard to believe that a conflict between Isreal and Palestine could be anything but extraordinarily complex.
Ending aid to Israel would be ending any chance he has at reelection. This is the sad reality. Online, the vocal minority is quite loud. But in reality, Israel has broad, bi-partisan support in the USA.
Obama was also up there, in my opinion, but I’m willing to be corrected. He passed the affordable care act, and he could have done much more if it wasn’t because of the republicans opposing him for being Obama. The GOP shut down the government not once, but TWICE, under him, and I’m still bitter about it.
I wasn’t very clear, I was onky looking at past republican competitors. Pretty much any recent Democrat has done more to help the general public than republicans have in a long, long time.
I’m not sure who’s done more, Biden or Obama. I think there’s lots to consider there and both of them have been heavily hampered by the regressive republicans.

I know what’s best! Why won’t you peasants just listen?!?!

“It’s very complicated. Don’t think that way. See it the way we’d like you to.”
Yeah, you’re really persuading me here
Pick a side and stop moving the goal posts please.
Or maybe you are enjoying your life in Russia, in which case I wish you the best of luck.

Seems it’s more likely to be the opposite of what you’ve said, based on recent polling.

Edit: Downvoted by the GOP. Typical.
