    I’m not super concerned with popularity of my opinions

    Elections are literally popularity contests.

    Also minor note: hanged until dead. Past tense of hang (execution) is “hanged” for some weird reason.

      Are you missing the part where Biden is losing support?

      I’m not super concerned with the popularity of my opinions, but the president definitely should care whether or not his choice to indulge a psychotic rogue state’s extermination of the native population is going to lose him support domestically. Did you even look at the article?

        The election cycle has not even begun. The war will be over and in the rear view mirror, and Biden will not be challenged on his support of Israel, meaning this is a nothingburger.

        I understand you are passionate about this, but this is how election cycles work.

          You’re in pretty deep denial about how important it is for Democrats to at least pay lip service to human rights and international law.

          I know that Israel wants to finish the extermination of Palestinians as quickly as possible but if they are allowed to finish Biden will lose the election.

          And then you get Trump who thinks Hitler was kind of cool. The article everyone is commenting on is about why this is an issue and your hand wavy dismissive attitude is not sufficient to discharge the very loud very public debate going on about whether or not America needs to indulge every psychotic whim of Israel.

          They elected Netanyahu. If they want to do things this way they need to do it without our fucking guns.

            Dont bother with this account. I think it is a shell accounts or working for IDF or something.

              “everyone who disagrees with me is a shill, and if they’re right they’re an extra double shill”

              Come back to this post in October and let me know how the Gaza debate is blowing up the news cycle

            Most Democrats believe that neither human rights nor international law are being violated. Most Democrats believe Israel is.lashing out rather than having an effectively controlled military response, not that they’re genocidal.

            You’re arguing your case to me but that’s not what we’re discussing. What were discussing is the election. You can see the minority quite clearly by looking at who votes for what.

            Also keep in mind that, electorily, this will be almost entirely forgotten about by next November.
