Young Democrats face Gaza blowback as they try to mobilize students for Biden
President Joe Biden’s support for the Israeli military offensive in Gaza mixed with student anger over police crackdowns on anti-war campus protests are complicating the work of Democratic youth groups trying to engage classmates and other Generation Z voters ahead of this year’s election.
You're viewing part of a thread.
I’m not a Democrat. I’m ferociously anti-Trump.
I didn't say which party was yours. Though I agree that Democrats are one of the two parties that have kept better off the ballot.
Absolutely. Things would be very different right now had the DNC not favored Hillary in 2016.
Agreed. But as you gloated earlier, better isn't on the ballot.
And with the two party pro-genocide hegemony, it never will be. So drink up, you got the only thing you want.
You make it seem like they’re the same on Israel. We both know they’re not.
Despite your contempt for Biden, he has been far better than Trump in every other area of running this nation, unless you’re a rich white industrialist.
You make it seem like they’re the same on Israel. We both know they’re not.
I didn't say they were. It's why I'm voting for Biden.
Unlike you, I'm unhappy to vote for the continuation of genocide, and I bitterly resent being manipulated into doing so by people who are just happy it's happening.
No one is happy about it. You happen to be very vocal about protesting by abstaining from voting for someone that intends to vote.
I literally said in the comment you're replying to that I'm voting for Biden.
I never told anyone to not vote. You just want all opposition to genocide to shut up forever.
I want people to understand that protesting genocide should happen in the street, and not at the polls. You seem to want to create friction rather than provide information.
But you ignore it anytime anyone who opposes genocide says that they're voting for Biden. And you imagine advocacy against voting where none exists.
In bad faith.
This is a post about supporting Biden in the face of genocide. Did you not read the article that spurred the conversation? No one here is supporting genocide. It’s a conversation about voting. By commenting that Biden needs to change his stance on genocide, you imply a lack of support unless he does. How is that not clear? It’s contextual.
