The figure comes as part of a new set of polls that show former President Donald Trump narrowly leading Biden in 5 out of 6 crucial battleground states.
So who do they think they’re going to vote for? Trump has also continually vowed his support of Israel and wouldn’t have done anything different (except maybe sending even more weapons to them), while at the same time not supporting Ukraine at all.
I honestly don’t believe that for a minute. You’ve got people who support Israel because that’s what they’ve been taught to do their whole life, and then you have people actually paying attention to what’s been going on and getting called antisemitic for calling out the genocide. Unfortunately the people who are unwilling to change their ways far outnumber the people who care.
It wouldn’t cause all Democrats to flip on Israel, but a lot of Democrats are only supporting Israel because of inertia. Supporting Israel is just normal, so that’s what they do. If Trump were president it would force them to rethink how “normal” their support actually is.
You’re underestimating how much Democrats hate Trump. If anything could force them to rethink anything it’s agreeing with him.
Heh maybe so, but is it really worth the risk of the damage Trump would do if he were in office again? Judging by your nick, I’m sure you’re aware of all the harm he’s done to the LGBT+ community?
What I’m also aware of is the fascist march against queer folk in the US has been pushing forward unabated under Biden. No matter who wins we’ll probably see the first bans on changing gender on birth certificates, we’ll probably see a challenge to gay marriage Court jurisprudence, and we’ll probably see hate crimes against us continue to rise to new horrible heights.
Under Trump Dems were out in the streets, but Under Biden all the Dems just sit at home and don’t do anything about it. Dems only care about queer folk (and Black people and religious minorities and immigrants) when it’s politically convenient.
Cornel West is the best option available, the united states NEEDS an intellectual, philosopher, and social critic in office. It’s been an exceptional shit show more recently. Voting in someone with the ability to actually contemplate the consequences of their actions and not just listen to those with the most money is severely needed to get back on the path to being a functional country.
True enough, but until we get some sort of ranked-choice voting, there’s no chance of a 3rd party candidate being more than a minor blip in the voting numbers.

It would be a lot easier for Democrats to stop supporting Israel if Trump was the one bankrolling the genocide.
Same way they opposed Trumps immigration policy as much as they could but let Biden silently do the exact same thing.

Not in my name.
