He would have to do it secretly but it seems like that would be a good tactic to me. Biden is losing support from some democrats. If Jill Stein could afford campaign ads that attack Biden for his fake climate change policies and unconditional support for Israel more democrats might vote for Jill Stein instead of Biden.
This could all be prevented with ranked choice voting, but the USA is not a democracy.

If you want to live in a democracy stop voting for a king or queen every four years and rely on the peoples representatives and have a truly democratic upper house by states getting per capita representation in the senate as a check on the extremes
@kevcvs57 saidI never said it prevented anyone from running. It prevents certain people from winning as people made clear to Ralph Nader in 2020. Many democrats blamed him for Gore's loss even though the election was stolen from Gore by the SCOTUS. That alone proved the USA is no democracy. It was a selection, not an election.

I vote 3rd party. We have per capita representation in the house. Biden bypassed all of congress, not just the Senate.
@kevcvs57
Does the UK have ranked choice voting?
If not, do you avoid voting for certain candidates you prefer because you are told they have low poll numbers? What if the poll numbers are a lie to discourage voting for certain candidates? And how would you know if you did not do your own poll?
@metal-brain saidJill Stein?? Really? What the hell are you talking about?

@metal-brain saidI know you have per capita ( well sort of ) in the house so why not the senate which allows a million people state the same voting power as a 50 million one

I think it’s called an executive order, I don’t agree with giving more kiddy killing tank shells to the IDF but every POTUS has the power to make these kind of military decisions and it gets discussed in congress later. You cannot talk about democracy just because you don’t like this particular decision
@suzianne saidJill sucking votes away from Biden and attacking him for policies Trump cannot attack Biden with himself. Trump should fund Jill Stein so she can create attack ads criticizing Biden for his unconditional support of Israel. Trump cannot do that because he had the very same unconditional support for Israel.
Jill Stein?? Really? What the hell are you talking about?
Biden is weak because of Israel. His own base doesn't like it. Democrats even admit they are afraid too many democrats will stay home instead of voting come election day. The best argument that he wont fund Jill's campaign is because he wont have to. Biden's own party is turning against him.
Biden's only hope is lower fuel prices. It is the only relief for the public that would turn it around at this point. Maybe the Kochs can increase production for the next 10 months if Biden promises to let him rape us with higher gas prices for 4 years after that.

"every POTUS has the power to make these kind of military decisions and it gets discussed in congress later"
That does not make it constitutional. The USA was not under an emergency threat. Israel is not part of the USA. It is not even in NATO, which is technically unconstitutional as well. That bypasses congress as well. Automatic war for the USA just because a foreign country gets into a war? What if it is disputed who started it? NATO is obviously a BS pact that should not be. NATO is a threat to world peace.
