If your #1 issue in the U.S. presidential election is Israel, you've gone a little bit insane, too.
Agreed. Also, that’s out of step with the reality of the political landscape. Israel/Gaza — like all foreign policy — is not going to sway the election much unless Biden commits US troops. DCUM is a lefty echo chamber on this matter (and I say that as someone who was warning people here in June 2016 that Trump was going to win).
However what Biden will struggle with in general is voter apathy and Israel/Gaza contributes to that, albeit minimally. Democrats always need high turnout and Biden isn’t going to drive that. Meanwhile Trump’s supporters will be fired up, like last time.
I would seriously not ignore Dobbs as a factor. So many people think women are just going to blithely accept our rights being ripped away from us.
No one thinks that FFS. But you’re crazy and spiteful to behave as if this war isn’t also the most critical issue for some voters in swing states.
You sound insane and irrational, lashing out at the PP like this. That was uncalled for.
Gaza is indeed probably the most important issue for some people. Nothing the PP said implies otherwise. But Gaza is unlikely to be a big domestic vote-mover, based on literally years of voter history. Foreign affairs are almost never a major election driver, unless there are significant US troops committed.
Dobbs, on the other hand, has moved votes as recently as last year. The PP is correct that Dobbs may drive young voters to the polls. But Gaza is unlikely to drive a lot of voters to the polls unless there is a significant break with historic precedent.
Please be rational.
Please eat a pile dogshit, thanks.
The danger of the smug-assed Democratic consensus that you and PP typify is that you won’t acknowledge that Gaza may well depress turnout where it’s most needed - specifically right now in Michigan. Ignore it at your peril (you will).
Dp- pandering to a holes like you, means losing the middle ( and frankly the people I actually agree with and care about)
So F off and die?

Why you are unable to generate a majority in the senate or house even with Roe! No one votes for moderates.

This is how many across all generations will view it and not bother to go to the poles.

I think they are more likely to be drafted into the service of Biden wins.
The 18 year old is headed to university to be in ROTC and willingly serve our country. It's what he wants and has for a long time now. He's also an Eagle Scout. We are very proud of him. We all vote D by the way.![]()
Similar.
The oldest went ROTC. Went through the West Point process. But got into his ED school and chose that. No regrets. Good experience. But he's a senior now and about to commission.
So things are very real.
The fact that the Commander in Chief is going to be some 80-something rapidly failing geriatric that displays senility and dementia is not ideal. And that applies to both Biden and Trump.
I tell myself that neither seem to be warmongers like George Bush and Hilary Clinton. Nor are they weak and indecisive like Obama when it comes to national security and when to deploy soldiers.
But ugh.
Two very old men that don't give a damn about 21 year old soldiers. Not great. Son is certainly ready to defend his country. But it's hard to have faith in the wisdom and acumen of a couple of extremely old narcissists whose mental acuity is declining with every passing day.
No politics. Just saying it's wrong to have feeble old men make these kinds of decisions. Our system is broken.

Just close your legs ladies and forget about voting!
That’s not what I was trying to imply. I was saying democrats are overestimating the influence of this decision to make women flock to the polls. This decision isn’t changing unless the Supreme Court becomes a liberal majority which is not happening for the next 15 years or so and unless we have a veto proof democratic senate which is never happening. So the Democratic Party should focus on highlighting issues that they can fix and use that to lure voters, not just keep on bringing up something they have no authority to change.

Dobbs literally changed the last elections.
