A group of Biden's reelection campaign staff said in a letter that volunteers are upset with his handling of the Israel-Hamas war.

In a letter published Wednesday on Medium, an anonymous group of Biden’s campaign staffers demanded the president call for a ceasefire in Gaza, citing concerns that not shifting his policy on the issue could hurt his 2024 chances.

“Biden for President staff have seen volunteers quit in droves, and people who have voted blue for decades feel uncertain about doing so for the first time ever, because of this conflict,” the Medium letter read.

“It is not enough to merely be the alternative to Donald Trump,” the campaigners continued. “The campaign has to shift the feeling in the pits of voters’ stomachs, the same feeling that weighs on us every day as we fight for your reelection. The only way to do that is to call for a ceasefire.”

    I’m sorry that reporting factual information is such a problem for you. Disliking Trump and Republicans in general is not a reason for me to be purposefully blind to the actions of those I do support.

      Yes, I agree we should not be blind to the facts. For instance:

      support for the president’s response for the Israel-Hamas war had increased among young voters, up by 5 percentage points when compared to a similar poll conducted in October.

        So, basically, you’re saying we ignore everything Biden does, no matter how terrible, and not bring up that maybe he should be better?

          If biden said we aren’t supporting Isreal that would be the opening for Iran and friends to genocide Isreal and you would be the person who would say why isn’t biden helping Isreal. This is a lose lose situation. And you seem to have decided to be a single issue voter, so vote your conscious but when Trump is turning palanstine into glass and rounding up any non Christians into camps remember that it was your fault because biden didn’t control a country that he isn’t president of.

            Emphasis mine. They literally said they’re supporting Biden. Just because you support one side doesn’t mean you refuse to critique their faults.
