Except a majority in the US disapproves of Israels recent actions and they are risking their victory - which is likely gonna be a close one - for next to nothing. Even if they really don't give a fuck, they could have just postponed the decision.

So what? Do you think the dems care about what "blue no matter who" liberals approve of? What are they gonna do vote for trump?

What are they gonna do vote for trump?

They might choose to sit it out, abstain. This election is not a sure thing for Biden, and the polls are pretty clear that Biden needs to stop supporting Israel like yesterday. Hilary had hubris in 2016, and so too does Biden seem to have hubris right now.
