WASHINGTON, May 18 (Reuters) - Several top White House aides say they are confident protests across U.S. college campuses against Israel’s offensive in Gaza will not translate into significantly fewer votes for Joe Biden in November’s election, despite polls showing many Democrats are deeply unhappy about the president’s policy on the war.
The White House optimism on the issue, which is shared by many in the Biden campaign, runs contrary to dire warnings from some Democratic strategists and youth organizers who warn misjudging the situation could cost Biden votes in a tight race with Republican rival Donald Trump.
Jesus tapdancing christ his advisors are so high on their own farts if they really believe that.
Belief is irrelevant. PR would always say this to downplay affects and keep supporters engaged. Apathy will kill Biden’s chances more than anything else.
You sound like you’re high on your own farts
College kids have crappy turnout. This is very well documented.
So you won’t be blaming them if Trump wins? If they’re insignificant enough to ignore, they’re too insignificant to blame.
I’ll absolutely be blaming them if the margin is close enough to make a difference. Because that is how it works. The votes are needed until they aren’t needed and we won’t know what’s needed until someone is elected.
You shouldn’t need this explained to you.
I will say however, that like previous election years- all of you anti-[whoever is the democratic candidate] folk will predictably disappear the moment the election is called.
I wonder why that is….
No, I would blame Biden for being a complete fucking ass about the whole Palestinian Genocide.
There’s a right side and a wrong side here. To be incredibly blunt: the fact that Jewish people endured the Holocaust does not give Israel carte blanche to perpetrate their own genocide. And that puts aside the fact that Israel is NOT, in fact, synonymous with Jewish people. There are a hell of a lot of Jews (including Israeli civilians) who vehemently object to what’s happening.
