The biggest thing Biden could do to help him beat trump is stop funding a genocide...
Instead he's talking about protestors like trump was during BLM.
It's like Biden's living some kind of Brewster's Millions and we're all John Candy.
It's not though, unfortunately.
The biggest thing Biden could do is focus on domestic economics. On top of that, please do realize that even specifically for those under 35, it's 60/40 for even sympathizing with Palestine in the conflict. That's all separate from it being the right thing to do, which I also agree with. But the math is not looking good for this being the cornerstone issue for Democrats or even the youth electorate.
That's not really true. Youth campaign workers have been reporting Gaza as the biggest issue in getting people to commit to voting for Biden. This chart as well makes it clear that stopping offensive aid would be popular among the people available to vote for him, (still looking and not completely opposed to voting D)
I'm confused, did you not read the stats I linked in the comment above?
That's because they polled for the PA, not for Palestinians or Gaza.
They do a straight comparison of sympathies between Gaza and Israel further down the article. Look for the graph with the title "Sympathies in the Middle East Situation, by Party ID and Age".
It's been an exhausting day for me on this thread and frankly, it's not worth it anymore. I've had a person threaten suicide multiple times, a person just randomly start belittling for no reason, and a large chunk of people who just refuse to read articles. Gonna tap out of this one, so you all take what you will from the articles and I'll just leave it there.
