It’s vitally important that Democrats now ask one question and one question only: Does Biden have the best chance of beating Trump, or is there someone else readily available who has a better chance?

      The Democrats can’t afford to lose even half of that 10%.

          You asked how the electoral margins were relevant to the topic. I just answered your question.

          Quibble about which issue is more important all you want, the DNC is already underwater on voter enthusiasm regardless.

              Your disagreement was not one of kind, but of scale. You’re choosing to focus on polls of issue priority as if that matters when we both agree that the party can’t afford to lose any support regardless of the issue.

      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.

                  I was talking about the thing the person you responded to was talking about.

                  Anyway, this was oddly hostile so I’m out.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
