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.

    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.

        Defending genocide with ableist slurs. It’s certainly a choice, I’ll grant you that.

            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?
