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.”

    My point is we’ve played this game for decades and it still led us to Trump because democrats and liberals DON’T DO SHIT TO STOP THEM. They’re complicit because they still benefit from Republicans getting their way.

    Voting dem doesn’t stop fascism, it only delays it by an election or two as Republicans continue to consolidate power and disenfranchise voters while the dems shrug because they think the only true injustice is hurting Republicans feels.

        If every person who shrieked a vote for a third party elects trump voted for a third party, we’d get a third party.

        You’re the one voting for Trump by refusing to move away from a broken system. Voting slightly less right is still voting for the right. 🤷
