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.”

    Referring to campaigns, yes the campaigns feel the same as back then. The same mood.

    Obviously other things are different.

    You don’t think idiots are culty about Biden? Look at your hostility towards me. Biden is not even a “good” candidate.

    His economy still sucks for Americans and while we can blame that on Trump, his continued insistence that it’s not is pretty fucking tone deaf.

    His continued support for Israel is equally tone deaf… and you just called it a proxy war, which kind implies the power to stop it. If it’s truly a proxy war, why aren’t you calling for that? And why the hell do you support a guy willing to get not one but two genocidal wars going?

    He is deeply unpopular with a broad majority of his supposed base, exactly like Hilary was, he’s ignoring that fact either willfully or because he’s just that ignorant- exactly like Hillary- and his cultish assholes (that’s you at the moment) are jumping down peoples throats for speaking out, hoping to astroturf them back into silence exactly like Hilary in ‘16

    Any other perspectives you want to invalidate…. Just like in ‘16, or do you maybe want to consider what people are saying?

    You act like you’re entitled to tell people how to vote. You’re not, and if you and the rest of the DNC keep it up… you’re going to find that out again.

    If you truly want to defeat Trump, then Biden is the candidate for you- any candidate more progressive than a stick in the mud is practically a shoe-in in comparison to Biden,

      You have far, far, far more faith in the American people than I do.

      Granted, I have zero faith. But you’ve got a ton more than that.
