Young Democrats face Gaza blowback as they try to mobilize students for Biden

Unpopular opinion: if you require disenfranchised voters to stave off a fascist dictatorship then you're already a failed state and are only kicking the can down the road.

Here’s a take… it would be infinitely worse under the GOP. At least Biden and Blinken have attempted to cool tensions and persuade Bibi to stop. They have, at a minimum, delayed some violence.

Biden, his administration, and the bulk of the Democratic Party deserve every bit of blowback that they are going to get from their racist, bloodthirsty, gaslighting-filled stance on Gaza. The immorality of it all is bad enough, but it’s also just politically stupid given how so much of the electorate feels. I am painfully aware of the existential threat to democracy that this election poses. For Democrats to gamble US democracy itself on their desire to fuel a genocide is unforgivable. If this godforsaken country actually elects trump, it will be entirely the result of Joe Biden and the sclerotic Democratic Party leadership. We deserve much better.

“If I’m talking about electric vehicles and climate change, and then (a student) asks me, ‘What about all the emissions caused by the bombing of Gaza?’ I’m like, well, you know, can’t help you there,”

Maybe you need a better answer than that?

How do you sell a genocide supporter to people who want to stop the genocide? Why not give them an option to not support the genocide?

Some people seem way too okay with there being two bad choices for president.

Others seem way too resistent to any attempt to make one of those choices not bad.

Jesus fuck I thought I was cynical but this take by CNN is like, weaponized cynicism.

Perhaps instead of trying to mobilize students to support an active genocider, they can go fuck themselves instead?

If the students vote for Trump over Biden because of how he is handling Isreal they are severely misinformed.

I’d like us to just remember the Iran hostage crisis and the Carter/Reagan Election. Carter negotiated in good faith to try to get the US hostages released. It didn’t work because Reagan had paid the Iranians some $40 million through Earl Brian to keep the hostages until after the election. Just an hour or so after Reagan was sworn into office, the hostages were released. This tipped the scales of the election.

Why do I bring this up now? Because the situation with Israel and Gaza is bad for Biden. He knows it and seems to be trying to do something to stop it. However, it is really in Trump’s interest, and even seems to be Israel’s plan anyway, to keep the war going as long as possible. For all we know, Trump is paying off Israel to not agree to a ceasefire.

So, just keep in mind who is being hurt by the situation and who has more to gain from the war going on indefinitely.

I wonder how many of them vote anyway
