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.”
There’s not going to be a primary. Biden is the nominee. Sit down and drink your apple juice son.
-edit-
We can continue to throw insults at each other. None of that is going to stop the genocide in Gaza or the likely genocide in the United States unless we do everything that we can to stop the Republicans from getting power ever again.
This isn’t a Trump problem, he was just the convenient figurehead. It’ll be at least thirty years before we see the other side of this. Please, just do the best that you can to protect your friends and family. I was young and principled once, Then I lived through Bush II and decided that the lesser of two evils is still better than pure evil.
Change has to come from the bottom, not the top. Run for local office. Run for the school board. Run for the parks department. Start or join a community network. Take care of each other and on a long enough timeline, we win.
