    That comment is an accurate summary of recent polls. Polls are representative samples of the public’s view. So no, the comment is clearly more than just “1 person’s personal opinion” because it provides a summary of the public’s opinion.

    Trump is bad and I hope Biden wins. That doesn’t mean we need to bury our heads in the sand about Biden’s current polling. Especially when a lot of that poor polling amongst young people is caused by Biden’s enabling of Israel’s genocide in Gaza

      Young people are considered unlikely voters in polling, so aren’t a factor in it. Polling numbers for Biden are basically identical now to where they were in the beginning of October. Sorry kids, if you don’t vote, you don’t impact the polling.

      While Trump is willing to abandon allies because of popular social media narratives, Biden isn’t going to abandon an ally for that reason. And the social media narrative you’re consuming isn’t as popular as you might think.

        Genocide isn’t a “popular narrative” it’s a reality and it is being committed by the United States and Israel.

        Which shouldn’t be surprising given that both are settler colonialist states. We genocided the Native Americans, now Israel is doing the same to Gaza.

        Biden’s actions here are repugnant and the worst foreign policy action this country has taken since GWB lied to invade Iraq and tortured innocent people in secret prisons. Turning your head away from this won’t make it go away

          Yes that’s the narrative.

            It’s a narrative in the same way that Dachau was a narrative.

            Aka, it’s the truth, and it needs to be stopped
