    Yesterday the last functioning hospital in Gaza was bombed by Israel. Biden’s approval rating is in the 30’s."

    If you want to guarantee that Trump glides into office, keep acting and thinking like you do. If you are unwilling to criticize what is clearly a losing strategy, then you own the strategy. His policy on Gaza is deeply unpopular on the left and with Democrats.

    Did you read the article? Its a complete puff piece trying to wag the progressive dog. And if AOC is such a valuable ally, where is it? Where is the rhetoric that is convincing progressives to support Biden? Where is the support she’s supposed to be whipping up? The left is roundly rejecting Bidens policies in Gaza, and his further and further missteps are showing that actually, bloccing up and supporting Biden may end up being a worse strategy than shuffling things up and finding a more suitable candidate now, because Biden is proving to support policies that are deeply unpopular with the base that would be putting him into power.

    Biden has to win Michigan. If the election were tomorrow there is an icecubes chance in hell he wins Michigan. Why? Gaza. Period. Its February and we’re not even half-way through primary season, but the way its shaping up, its in the bag for Trump.

    Edit:

    Just put together this figure of polling out of Michigan post Oct. 7th.

    No amount of AOC cheer leading will fix this. It only hurts AOC.

      Idk what the hell you’re on about trying to make me seem like someone from a figment of your imagination. I just said your buzzwords are annoying as fuck. Deal with it with some better use of words and better criticism. I’m not the problem here, you are with your bullshit.

        Its just your own vapid opinion what a buzzword is. Calling Biden a geriatric isn’t using buzzwords, its using precise language. I’m making serious points about the viability of Biden as a candidate. He 80+. He’s an octogenarian. He is has previously supported and continues to support the Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people. Burying your head in the sand because your annoyed for hearing the truth isn’t helping Biden. Bidens support for the Palestinian genocide, along with very very valid considerations around his age are looking to cost the Democrats the election in 2024.

        I’m making actual points here and you are the one yapping. You deal with that, and if your only opinion is color commentary trying to regulate someone else’s speach, maybe just keep it to yourself.

          Friend,

          You wrote a phrase with a hyphen in it. It doesn’t roll off the tounge, it is like a rock in a shoe. The person you are responding to did not like your phrasing (a bit fussy of them, honestly) and you responded with a book and a graph.

          This is not how you persuade people. It is kind of funny to watch happen, though.

          I think I’m due for a hot drink and a nice walk.

            Fussy?? lol Alright, maybe a bit…

            But in my defense, I see a whole wave of people on here exaggerating the truth and using the same buzzwords, calling anyone who doesn’t agree with them a genocide supporter or accusing them of being scared of the truth. Maybe I’m just paranoid but it seems to me like a concerted effort and I don’t like it.

              calling anyone who doesn’t agree with them a genocide supporter

              I think Democrats shouldn’t be selling weapons that they know will be used to commit genocide.

              Now say “buzzword” a few dozen more times. It’s not changing the fact that Biden supports Netanyahu’s genocide.

                I whole agree with you, the US shouldn’t be supporting wars like this. But let’s be real here, pinning a genocide on Biden is a bit much.

                  He didn’t need to circumvent congress to sell weapons for Netanyahu’s genocide. No one was clamoring for it, and no one would have blamed him if he hadn’t done it.

                  He proactively supported a genocide.

                    Whatever the reason was, it wasn’t “let me send these off to kill Palestinian civilians”. He proactively supported a US ally who did questionable shit, which is very different.

          Burying your head in the sand

          Funny thing is, you’re not the first person throwing that line whenever when called out for this. Nobody’s burying their heads anywhere besides you and your own rear, maybe. What’s next, calling me a genocide supporter next for not agreeing with you?

          hearing the truth … Bidens support for the Palestinian genocide … I’m making actual points here

          Honey, that’s not the truth, that’s your vapid and exaggerated opinion. If you’re so keen on keeping everyone honest here, start with yourself.

          trying to regulate someone else’s speach,

          Nah, I told you what you sound like. Or here’s another idea: if you’re so butthurt about people calling you out for using these tired buzzwords or exaggerating your points, then don’t do it to articulate your ideas and grow a thicker skin.
