Polls have also shown Biden’s support slipping among Black and ethnic minority voters, who helped drive his 2020 election win against Trump.
Analysts say Biden’s best hope now is a simple but quite specific number: that wages continue to rise faster than prices as they have done since April of last year, allowing consumers to feel that their wallets are fuller.
It’s like these people don’t realize that unconditional US support for Israel has been the norm for the past forty fucking years, and that Biden is not only not at the top of the ‘supporting Israel’s genocide’ list, he’s actually probably at the bottom as far as presidents these past 40 years go. And if the Palestinian genocide only just interests you now, well, you’ve clearly not been paying fucking attention.
He has the same ability to cut money and arms off if he wanted to like Reagan did. But being the highest recipient of JStreet lobby money they paid their dues and are now getting rewarded by him.
That would require the mOsT pRoGrEsSiVe PrEsIdEnT sInCe FdR to be left of Ronald Reagan on the subject of genocide.
He’s to the right of Reagan, like he was as senator, on nearly every issue.
These clowns pretend like Joe Biden isn’t doing what every other US politician and potential presidential candidate would be doing.
It’s appalling, yes, and we should fight back against it. But to pretend like this is somehow unique to Biden shows a complete lack of awareness of US politics.
But you’ll compare it to lima beans and scold anyone who does.
Yes. Because you’re a clown if you think Trump would be better.
And there it is yet again. The assumption that anyone who isn’t on board with supporting genocide must be a Trump supporter.
No. I’m voting for Biden. But Biden should not be supporting genocide, and I resent being placed in a position where my options are “genocide” and “more genocide” and being scolded by people who are happy with it.
So do we all. But that doesn’t change the facts of the scenario.
And now you’re being dishonest.
I honestly don’t believe for an instant that a person who would compare people who are in any way upset about genocide to petulant children who won’t eat their veggies dislikes genocide in any way.
Biden should not be supporting genocide. Two of the people in this thread that you’re scolding are voting for him already and you don’t care. You just want people to support genocide for its own sake.
Removed by mod
Oh no. I’ve been blocked. How can I dislike genocide now without someone screaming that I want Trump to win?
Removed, keep it civil. I get the reaction, don’t make it personal.
Uh… Reagan did better. MFing Reagan.
So are you voting for Reagan this year?
