That makes little sense. After losing to Eisenhower, Democrats moved a little further right. After losing to Nixon, Democrats moved a little further right. After losing to Reagan, Democrats moved a little further right. After losing to Bush, Democrats moved a little further right. After losing to Trump, Democrats pushed Biden over Bernie. Bernie actually did better in 2016, after a previous Democrat.
And, Israel was ethnically cleansing Palestine that whole time. You need to pressure members or get more progressive members in congress, because with the amount of support Israel has in congress, they can pass whatever bills supporting Israel they want, and have the numbers to override any presidential veto. The president is of little relevance, in the big picture.
And, you'll end up with someone who will support Israel even harder, will let Russia do to Ukraine what Israel is doing to Palestine, who has said he wants a pledge of allegiance to Israel to get in the country, who has said he wants to reinstate and expand his Muslim ban (and Republicans have even been talking trying to deport Palestine supporters that weren't born in the US, like Ilhan), who could f up the courts even worse, who has said he wants to go after leftists, etc., etc., etc.
