    He’s only partially wrong. Biden really needs Michigan. and that’s the state with a large demographic of people personally impacted by the genocide. If Trump takes MI then the Dems are back to needing Wisconsin, Arizona, and Nevada. And Arizona democrats skew very progressive. Like a leftist reactionary movement to the previous Republican regime. In the same may poll I reference above, where Pennsylvania doesn’t really care, Arizona voters were very vocal about not caring. Which means they probably plan to strategically vote for Biden while trying their hardest to ignore the issue. But some genius GOP operative is bringing that issue up there, I guarantee it.

    This is part of the reason I was pushing so hard for us to pressure Biden on the issue. If he used the Leahy Law properly he’d have plenty of cover and it would be fine. Now he’s stuck with this because many people would see it as a completely political move now and it would hurt more if he took any action on it now.
