    Biden is going to hand the 2024 election to Trump on a golden platter if he doesn’t change course, even though everyone who isn’t braindead knows Trump would be doing exactly the same.

      The Israel situation won’t swing the vote. Most people support Israel blindly or don’t care enough to be knowledgeable.

        A couple of recent polls asked “What is the most important issue to you?”.

        About 30-35% said “the economy”. Only 1-2% said “Israel/Gaza”.

          Why would anyone expect it to be much higher than that? People are selfish and that’s not entirely unreasonable when it comes to politics. It makes no sense for a foreign policy position to be the determining factor when deciding who to vote for, especially when we have so many problems here at home.

        Young voters are significantly impacted by this issue and they carry a lot of momentum. I think the people saying that this won’t sway the vote are really discounting how important that momentum is.

          How are young American voters impacted by the war in Gaza? I understand they care about it, but impacted sounds like it has more than morale effects.

        I wouldn’t reduce it to a binary. I think there’s a pretty good chunk of the population who are anti-Zionist and pro-Palestinian, but aren’t reachable as swing voters. They’re to the left of the current Democratic Party and might vote begrudgingly for Biden, but wouldn’t vote for Trump under any circumstances.

          Anti-Israel, pro-Jewish, and pro-civilian Palestinians here! I will vote begrudgingly toward Biden, but will vote for candidates that do not support unconditional support toward Israel and they have naunced opinions while still supporting Jewish people and Palestinians.

      Trump would be trying to send troops. Both to Israel and Russia. I’m convinced of it.
