Uncommitted voters are not apathetic. The Democratic party is | Camonghne Felix
www.theguardian.com
Americans are recognizing we must do more for Palestine and are signaling dissatisfaction with the party, as they did in 2008

What happens in November is up to Biden – it will not be the fault of the protest voter if Trump is elected. The questions remain: does the Democratic party fear Trump as much as we do? And does it value its voters enough to shift away from an approach to the onslaught in Gaza that a majority of Democratic voters are against?

    Name one candidate with the name recognition to win who has also expressed an interest in running in 2024.

        And conspiracy theories, like it always boils down to. “They” lol.

        Whitmer would be sending aid to Israel. Every politician would.

          Then we pick someone who wouldn’t.

          Would it be difficult? Yes

          Would it have a chance to fail? Yes

          Would the stakes be high? Yes

          Would it be the most American fucking thing to do, to stand up for what is right instead of easy, to protect those who need it most, to take the tired, the poor, the huddled masses yearning to breathe free, and to stand shield for them? Yes

          Fuck Nationalism in all its evilness, instead let’s be what we said we would be and start fucking actually working towards it.

          Let’s live up to that, instead of aiming for mediocrity.

          America is at its best when it’s the underdog.

            Very convenient that your all-American idiot plan almost certainly hands a win to Putin-loving Republicans 😂

              Not if y’all would just work with us!!! All we are asking is that you stand up and say “This is too far”, if he actually changed we could talk about keeping him around, right now we could be preparing his replacement in case he doesn’t.

              If he does good enough then we still have him, if not he says I’m out and then we push the new one.

              Let’s be real, most people are idiots who will vote whatever name has a D next to it

                Apparently not, world would be a better place if they did.

                The primary was your chance to put up a better candidate. You didn’t. You don’t have the numbers to beat Biden in the primary, but you do have the numbers to give us Trump.
