There are a lot of people outside of just Lemmy who are upset at how Biden is handling the genocide in Gaza. Maybe not that significant of a portion of the population as a whole, but when he’s trying to win states with slim margins, even a relatively small number of people can make all the difference.
Honestly, Lemmy is an echo chamber. The average person on the street knows very little about what’s happening in Palestine and would support Israel over a Muslim state any day. It’s apathy, ignorance, and just being too damn tired to care. But Lemmy will have you believing that people are marching in the millions to stop Israel’s genocide.
On Reddit it’s the opposite, but with the engagement numbers. Millions support Israel with little variance. Obviously they aren’t all Zionists; they just want Hamas to go away.
Support will certainly skyrocket in Lemmy. I’m certain it’s an important indicator for him

I doubt it matters. In fact, more people probably approve of what he’s doing or not doing.

I was banned from Reddit for going against the Israeli genocide (because I reported every comment literally calling for murder or genocide).
Ding ding.
