Of course it's part of a democracy. But the point everyone's making is that it's a very dumb thing to do because it's likely to reduce your democratic power in the future.
Is the president not at fault at all when he doesn't change his course? Also a majority of people seem to favor a ceasefire. Why not at least for campaign purposes actually enforce a ceasefire from Netanyahu?
That largely depends on how you ask the question. Based on this article:
Support a ceasefire? 64vs13%
Support a unilateral ceasefire (as in: what's effectively what's being asked for Biden to threaten to pull support for today)? 28vs44%
I'm sure if you as who supports 'peace in the Middle East' you'll get a large majority, but that decision isn't really on the table
