    why aren’t people demanding Biden do the stuff that most helps him beat trump?

    He’s won a lot more elections than most people, so he’s not necessarily going to go along with whatever internet strangers think will help him.

    Regarding Israel, he has done things that people demanded, like “just call for a ceasefire”. It didn’t move the needle, people simply changed their demands. Israel weapon shipments are currently on hold, but protestors barely noticed. Completely ending aid to Israel would likely require Congressional action. And maybe he figures that even if he could get that done (he can’t), people would then “just” demand divestment. And then they would “just” demand sanctions against Israel.

    At this point, some people are not going to vote for him no matter what he does. Maybe that’s why he is focusing on people who don’t think Gaza is very important, who after all are the majority.

      Shout out from the fuckin mountaintops

      These fucking agitators NEVER GAVE A SHIT about Gaza, just like they never gave a shit about unions or student loans or whatever. It was always about hurting Biden. You dumb leftist fucks keep falling for obvious “hello there fellow kids” propaganda.

        It works so well. See: Iran, Russia, China, and Nazi Germany for just a FEW examples of the Left fucking itself over and being played by Authoritarians.

        I’ve said many times. Most of these people didn’t know Palestine existed prior to Oct 7th. And most couldn’t find it on a map now.
