    Biden can’t afford to loose support from those who support Palestinian liberation, Trump can.

    He’s ensuring his own defeat by burning that bridge.

      If democrats are ignorant enough to vote for Trump expecting support of the Palestinians, they’ll be calling for their eradication, and inviting war with Iran. Passion doesn’t justify ignorance.

        Nobody is saying they’re going to vote for trump, but lower turnout hurts his chances. He’s dumping ice on voter enthusiasm, if you think that doesn’t impact his reelection chances you’re out of your mind.

          I’m not in support of America’s blind support of Israel either. The point is, there’s far more at stake in this election than that conflict, and Trump would make things worse for the Palestinians. Abstaining or voting third-party is voting for Trump. It’s not a way to protest support of Israel, and will hurt America, and Ukraine, far more.

            Are the undecided voters in the room with us right now?

            You’re arguing with me as if i’m the deciding vote, but there are 81 million eligible voters that didn’t vote in 2020 and a large portion of those who did vote who are going to be less likely to vote for him for his bungling of this issue alone.

            He’s in a tight race and can’t afford to be losing those voters. He’s doing this to himself.

          You’re assuming those ppl aren’t going to hold their nose and vote for Biden.

          There are only two choices here and unless you’re voting for Biden it’s supporting trump.

            You’re assuming those ppl aren’t going to hold their nose and vote for Biden.

            You’re assuming those non-voters would somehow be more enthusiastic this cycle than in 2020. And now he’s risking the loss of progressive voters who take foreign policy seriously that begrudgingly voted for him in 2020 but didn’t have the foresight that he’d support a Palestinian genocide that they now have in hindsight.
