Biden campaign officials say that despite the media focus on campus turmoil, public polling and their own research show that young voters are more concerned with other issues.

    Smart! Hide from the people you need to get re-elected instead of changing your shitty “back Benjamin Netanyahu unconditionally” policy.

      I’d argue it’s a “back the military industrial complex unconditionally” policy, which is on brand for “traditionally” conservative neoliberals and old guard democrats like Biden. Israel is just a mechanism for the MIC to fan the flames in the middle east, and continue creating an enemy (extremists) the nation can rally against — Remember! They kill babies and rape women, so now is NEVER the time to acknowledge our own historic crimes or injustices, but now is ALWAYS the time to spend billions on the war machine and provide unconditional support for a genocidal ethnostate!

    Like, I get why they’re limiting his speeches, but the dude needs to own up to his actions and face the people. Hiding away only makes him look worse. I thought he was doing kinda okay until all this Israel asskissing started. Wish a president would, for once, actually take their citizens seriously. I know world politics is way beyond your average citizen, but a president should also represent the people he governs, ya know? At least make an effort to hear us and our concerns, Joe, c’mon.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    By comparison, when then-President Barack Obama was seeking re-election in 2012, he delivered addresses at the Air Force Academy, Barnard College and Joplin High School.

    Biden campaign officials say that despite the media focus on campus protests, public polling and their own research show that young voters are more concerned with other issues.

    Eve Levenson, the Biden campaign’s national youth engagement coordinator, said the physical outreach on campuses is just one part of the strategy for reaching young voters.

    The campaign is putting a heavy emphasis on targeting college students online through its digital program and paid advertising on major social media apps.

    The campaign next week will launch a major effort targeting young voters on abortion rights timed to the end of the school year, Levenson said.

    Last fall, Harris conducted what the White House called a “Fight for Our Freedoms” tour of colleges, where she visited nine different campuses and spoke to a combined 15,000 students.
