WASHINGTON, May 18 (Reuters) - Several top White House aides say they are confident protests across U.S. college campuses against Israel’s offensive in Gaza will not translate into significantly fewer votes for Joe Biden in November’s election, despite polls showing many Democrats are deeply unhappy about the president’s policy on the war.

The White House optimism on the issue, which is shared by many in the Biden campaign, runs contrary to dire warnings from some Democratic strategists and youth organizers who warn misjudging the situation could cost Biden votes in a tight race with Republican rival Donald Trump.

    I did support Ron back in the day. I still mostly respect the guy though. If he is another right wing grifter he’s got his mask on 24/7. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anything contradictory from him. However, like most “libertarians” he completely ignores that corporations exist or he thinks they’ll magically self-regulate.

    Rand went zero to fascist in no time so I was never really a supporter.

      Yeah, grifter maybe isn’t the best word to use. I just meant in the sense that libertarians seem to support policies that help themselves, even/especially if it’s at the expense of others.

      That’s really good you were able to see the policies Rand supported were even worse
