On the issue of Gaza, Biden is dramatically out of touch with the voters he needs to win re-election. If he will not be moved by morality to stop his support of this war, he should be moved by vulgar self-interest. Gaza is not a distant foreign conflict: it is an urgent moral emergency for large swaths of voters. Biden will lose those voters – and may indeed lose the election – if he does not cease his support of these atrocities.

Biden has that rare opportunity in politics: to help the country, and himself, by doing the right thing. But he must do so now. Both the Palestinian people and his own election prospects are running out of time.

    The SJWs that refuse to vote every election year because of single issue nonsense are already counted out with regards to polling and forecasts as I understand.

    This is why their votes actually can count. Because any vote from them will help tip the balance in favor of democracy over dictatorship-

    but should they all make good on their threats to pout and stay home-

    It’s just going to be status quo.

      Dismiss the ‘sjws’ sure, but it’s literally impossible for democrats to win the presidency unless black voters are enthusiastic about the candidate. Biden’s Gaza stance hurts him with black voters.

        I honestly don’t think so. Again, single-issue non-voters are already not counted in the demographics- as I understand. I could be wrong, but I think this has always been a thing. This is why most polls aren’t accurate- because they don’t account for this. The remaining numbers are a result of who is expected to vote.

        This doesn’t mean that the gEnOciDe jOe kids can’t help America from falling into absolute chaos, and Palestine from becoming a golf course…

        But it’s already assumed they won’t. Again, they’re part of status quo and they don’t even realize it.
