Uncommitted voters are not apathetic. The Democratic party is | Camonghne Felix

Americans are recognizing we must do more for Palestine and are signaling dissatisfaction with the party, as they did in 2008

What happens in November is up to Biden – it will not be the fault of the protest voter if Trump is elected. The questions remain: does the Democratic party fear Trump as much as we do? And does it value its voters enough to shift away from an approach to the onslaught in Gaza that a majority of Democratic voters are against?

    Because the incumbency advantage is incredibly powerful, Biden has beaten Trump before, and no other viable Democrats have indicated they want to run this election. I too would prefer someone else but it’s not like Biden there aren’t solid strategic reasons to run him again.

      If Biden steps down then the dnc won’t be holding everyone else from stepping up.

      Or maybe he could just STOP SENDING BOMBS and we would have much less of an issue.

      If it’s too much trouble to get enough Americans to decide that we should stop sending bombs to kill kids then we deserve what we get

        Ah… the: “I’ve chosen this hill for everyone to die on” gambit.

        Thinking like a child. May age bring you wisdom and peace.

          Ah the “I promise, we will work on the things you ask for next time if you just work with us again one more time” gambit.

          Keep voting for the people doing the opposite of what you want. Good luck inducing change

              Never thought the day would come when I’d be told that not doing genocide is too high of a bar to ask my elected officials to clear.

                No one is telling you that. We’re telling you that neither candidate is good on this issue and that the other candidate is significantly worse for the Palestinians.

                We should protest and demand changes from the Biden administration for sure, but refusing to pull the lever for them in November based on this issue makes no sense whatsoever.

                  “We should protest and demand changes from the Biden administration for sure” and yet look at you shutting people down for doing exactly that xD you know normal people don’t buy liberals’ bullshit anymore right?

          Age never brings wisdom or peace. I hope he offends his master and gets exiled to Siberia. Fuck these trolls.
