In the final paragraph she finally says what she really thinks.

Given how catastrophic another Trump term would be — including in Israel, where the far right fantasizes about his return — I find people who threaten to withhold their votes from Biden maddening. But if Democrats want them to come around, listening to them will be more effective than lecturing them.

    Fuck it, “But if Democrats want them to come around, listening to them will be more effective than lecturing them” is a better take than 95% of these ghouls

      I don't believe her. I think she's simply trying to seem reasonable. She's written a number of "If Trump wins..." scare columns. She's surely still going to write at least half a dozen more. When/if Biden makes a super-minor request (not even a demand) that the Israelis cut the genocide by ~1% - she'll write a column that will be rushed to print. She'll say it's time for people understand Biden is doing all he can and Americans must vote for him to save democracy.
