      Voters simply don’t care about Gaza anywhere near as much as they care about literally everything else

      Well that’s a damning indictment of the American people if I ever saw one!

      With the exception of chronically online lemmings and less than 10% of Democratic voters, nobody else really cares.

      Yeah, it’s just the systematic slaughter of mostly defenseless civilians, specifically targeting aid workers, health workers and journalists, and also tens of thousands of children!

      Just flagrant daily crimes against humanity, nothing you’d care about if you weren’t a chronically online Lemming! /s

      You’re very much on the wrong side of history if you are indifferent to the many war crimes of Israel as well as the contributions of the US and other Western countries making it possible for them to continue in perpetuity.

          Yeah, it actually DOES bother me that some people don’t care about constant atrocities committed on helpless innocents. I’m kooky like that!

          I wouldn’t think that Donald Trump levels of casual indifference towards the mass murder and systemic torture of fellow human beings would be the norm amongst Democratic voters, but I guess it either is or there’s something wrong with the methodology of the statistics you so gleefully present as redemptive of your Dear Leader…

              There’s different priorities and then there’s a near-total disregard for the lives and well-being of fellow humans.

              There’s disagreement on whether economic or social issues are more important. Whether foreign policy is important or only domestic issues really matter. Tons of room for legitimate disagreement there.

              And then there’s being indifferent to some of the worst atrocities humans have ever submitted other humans to being perpetrated in your name using weapons paid for by your tax dollars and political cover by the politicians you have chosen to represent you.

              If that doesn’t bother you, WHAT fucking does?

                  Voters do not care. Full stop.

                  Yeah, I often protest in the streets and on campuses, risking arrest or much worse from cops and Zionist agitators based on “not caring” 🙄

                  I’m not a statistician, so I’m gonna let someone else locate the smoking gun, but those statistics CANNOT reflect actual reality. Especially since at least the first one suggests that people aren’t really That worried about CLIMATE CHANGE either.

                  I’m thinking maybe sampling bias or asking the questions in Norwegian? 🤔

          You said this:

          Voters simply don’t care about Gaza anywhere near as much as they care about literally everything else:

          [Links]

          It shows up in poll after poll after poll. With the exception of chronically online lemmings and less than 10% of Democratic voters, nobody else really cares.

              I didn’t say it was the main source of discontent. I just think that being able to win the election is the most important thing. It doesn’t have to be the “main” source to cause the problem we’re all talking about.

                  I obviously mistook this as a conversation about the upcoming election and Biden’s chances, but I can see now that you are purely interested in correcting someone about this one thing, and not about whether or not that has an important impact on Biden’s chances.

                  Yes wow you’re right it isn’t the “main” source of the discontent. Congratulations.

      Even for the folks who are outraged by what’s happening in Gaza, letting trump win isn’t going to make the situation any better, and will likely make it significantly worse.
