    Protests over the Biden administration’s handling of the war are disrupting the activities of Democratic officials from city halls to Congress to the White House, complicating their ability to campaign — and, at times, govern — during a pivotal election year.

    Boo fucking hoo! Maybe they should stop participating in a genocide if they don’t want their activities to be disrupted!

    raising Democratic concerns that a sustained movement protesting a war thousands of miles away could depress turnout at home in November.

    They’re only now starting to admit they’re concerned that it COULD? That’s the other main gripe along with the crimes against humanity: these (mostly) boomer rich people in their mansions paid for by the ultra-rich and their corporations don’t LISTEN to regular people.

    Sure, they’ll PRETEND to on the campaign trail, but if you can’t afford to attend gala fundraisers every election season, 95%+ of Washington don’t care about your needs and wants.

    The national effort to pressure U.S. leaders to limit their support for Israel has focused almost exclusively on Democrats with former President Donald J. Trump rarely — if ever — attracting significant criticism from pro-Palestinian demonstrators at his home or public appearances.

    Because Democrats are in charge of the White House and the senate and also there’s a slight chance they might listen if pressured enough. Trump can never be reasoned with.
