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.
No, they’re replying to the claim that it is. If you attempt to protest the genocide at the polls, you’ll just end up with more genocide.
Right, so Bidens continued support of genocide makes it more likely that Trump will win
Therefore it is an election issue. Therefore, Biden needs to immediately change policy
That would be great. Just understand that election won’t have an effect on that at all.
Bidens actions have a direct effect on if he wins
If he wants to win then he needs to change his Israeli policy
We’re going in circles. Anyone who abstains from voting in protest of Israel support will be allowing someone to win that supports Israel more. It’s that simple.
If Biden's support of genocide makes him unacceptable, then people will not vote for him. They will not vote for trump either. Which means they will either vote 3rd party, vote uncommitted, or not vote at all.
All of which certainly increases the likelihood that Trump wins. Which is Netanyahu's goal.
Biden should change US policy on Israel to mitigate these losses. Otherwise he will lose Michigan, and likely the election.
The point is that, for many people, Never Again actually meant Never Again. Funding a genocide is a nonstarter for many who were taught that the Holocaust must never again occur
That’s only if people believe the lie that protesting at the polls will help Palestine.
No, it's because of the truth that continued support of genocide will cause Biden to lose Michigan and other states as well. Which means Trump wins.
To prevent that, Biden needs to change policy immediately
If people are mad at a government then they will not vote to re-elect that government. Which is how democracy is supposed to work. Not that it matters, because our democracy is not long for this world anyway
To prevent that, Biden needs to change policy immediately
You're arguing with someone who doesn't want Biden to change.
