    If that group would rather burn down their own lives by getting Trump elected to prove an idiotic point, more power to 'em I guess. The population numbers still don’t swing the election though.

      They absolutely do

      In Pennsylvania, 34% of respondents said they would be more likely to vote for the Democratic nominee if the nominee vowed to withhold weapons to Israel, compared to 7% who said they would be less likely. The rest said it would make no difference. In Arizona, 35% said they’d be more likely, while 5% would be less likely. And in Georgia, 39% said they’d be more likely, also compared to 5% who would be less likely.

      Majorities of Democrats (67%) and Independents (55%) believe the US should either end support for Israel’s war effort or make that support conditional on a ceasefire. Only 8% of Democrats but 42% of Republicans think the US must support Israel unconditionally.

      Republicans and Independents most often point to immigration as one of Biden’s top foreign policy failures. Democrats most often select the US response to the war in Gaza.

        I like how Netanyahu being practically an open Trump supporter doesn’t spring to your mind as having anything to do with this.

          Brilliant non-rebuttal. I know that Democrats are pathologically incapable of accepting this, but if you want people to vote for you, you need to get their support.

          You are not entitled to support all the genocide you want without losing voters.

      I’m not advocating for people to vote for Trump or not vote. I’m 100% against both of those things.

      Which is exactly why I consider it a bad thing when the only realistic alternative are snatching defeat from the jaws of victory by alienating people.

      That they’re doing so by not just propping up, but actually HELPING a genocidal apartheid regime that wants them to lose is just as stupid as it’s morally repugnant.
