WASHINGTON, May 18 (Reuters) - Several top White House aides say they are confident protests across U.S. college campuses against Israel’s offensive in Gaza will not translate into significantly fewer votes for Joe Biden in November’s election, despite polls showing many Democrats are deeply unhappy about the president’s policy on the war.
The White House optimism on the issue, which is shared by many in the Biden campaign, runs contrary to dire warnings from some Democratic strategists and youth organizers who warn misjudging the situation could cost Biden votes in a tight race with Republican rival Donald Trump.
No, I would blame Biden for being a complete fucking ass about the whole Palestinian Genocide.
There’s a right side and a wrong side here. To be incredibly blunt: the fact that Jewish people endured the Holocaust does not give Israel carte blanche to perpetrate their own genocide. And that puts aside the fact that Israel is NOT, in fact, synonymous with Jewish people. There are a hell of a lot of Jews (including Israeli civilians) who vehemently object to what’s happening.
Nope. I’ll be blaming singe-issue voters. You can blame whoever you want. When you’re ready to understand nuance and how Biden has little choice in this matter and how congress actually works, we can talk.
But until then, yeah… if you’re not voting, or voting third party because you think you’re teaching someone a lesson- I’ll be blaming you.
But we both know you’ll just reroll as a victim of Trump come November when you help him win.
Yeah these kids are idiots if they somehow think not showing up is some protest and they’ll get something better with Crooked Don in office. Get ready for the bulldozers to run through Gaza and Kushner’s new condos being built. What a bunch of retards
Not exactly how I would put it, especially here- but yeah… I don’t know how they can expect to do nothing and create change. But they’re young and naive.
Hopefully they don’t ruin so much shit for themselves that can’t be undone when they begin to understand how things work.
I just call it like I see it man, no point in softening language
Defending genocide with ableist slurs. It’s certainly a choice, I’ll grant you that.
Please show where I defended genocide, retard
Show me where I defended genocide, you extremely intelligent individual
Let’s see… Oops, the comment was removed due to said ableist slur. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah I suppose I’ll just have to call people like you ”less advanced in mental development than is usual for one’s age”
The comment in question contained something to the effect that Trump will be way worse than Biden, and kids who are less advanced in mental development than is usual for their age think not voting is somehow going to improve things.
Now please, show me where in that statement I’m supporting genocide? Or are you far less advanced in mental development than is usual for your age?
Sorry, buddy, but no, we won’t let you and Biden have your genocide and another term, too. If it’s that important that he has four more years, Biden knows what he needs to do. Being able to look past genocide isn’t enlightened, pragmatic or strategic, it’s moral depravity.
