There’s a line between being overly cynical and overly optimistic. I think you’re leaning towards becoming too optimistic. Biden has work to do. It can be done but he has work to. This isn’t something to just brush off. I’m always a go make sure and fight as hard as you can sort of person that takes nothing for granted.
No, I just think the math is much more complicated than you all belief.
That is this progressive view that whatever policies they get will be accepted by the electorate as a whole under the pretense that they'll just grit and bare it even if they hate it.
Now you're seemingly conflating a moral position: genocide is bad and dems shouldn't support it.
With a electoral position:
Dems should should completely kneel to the demands of arab/Muslim Americans.
The Dem base is largely American, largely Christian, and largely apathetic to the plight of arabs in the middle east.
Particularly compared to blue collar issues, health care, student debt, transportation and overall affordability.
But why over think it. The Arab american population is smaller than the Jewish American population and has its largest concentration in Michigan where it only makes up 2% of the population.
Even if that entire voting eligible demographic held out all things considered equal Biden still wins Michigan.
Pulling all aid from Israel, as has been the more extreme request of this movement, would almost certainly cost him the election. Which is why even folks like Bernie refuse to commit to that position.
Let’s not pretend here. Biden was not a “once in a lifetime” candidate in 2020. Everyone came out on some Marvel Endgame sh*t to get Trump out. Having hundreds of thousands of disgruntled voters could easily haunt him in the general election.
very well put
