Look,
In the broad picture, there's really no scenario in which Trump would be better for the country than Biden. In literally every possible way, Trump is far worse -- not just in the immediate, but in the years long after he's gone.
And while I don't think that this war between Hamas and Israel should be the deciding factor in this election, I have to concede that it is becoming clearer that for young people especially, this could cause them to abstain from voting altogether -- even if they won't directly vote for the Republican Party.
The fact is that younger voters typically lean to the left, and you cannot continue to dismiss the one issue they seemingly care about the most right now.
Wages take time to fix. Housing takes time to fix. Even student loan forgiveness takes time before that impact is felt. You aren't going to fix climate change tomorrow.
But halting support for this war could be done immediately.
If the Democrats refuse to recognize that they're alienating their base...they will have no one to blame but themselves this November.
