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.
I was saying this exact thing to my wife the other day. I get the feeling that younger people are going to abstain from voting the longer this Israel thing goes on. Dems need to do better and explain why are we giving Israel money, when they are a fully developed country going after a terror cell in a small area. They also need to explain why they were the country in the UN to not condem Israel. Them doing things, and not explaining why is a bad move in my opinion.
They also need to get Kamala out there more as well. If Joe wins, I’m sure she’s going to take over at some point in his term and you don’t really hear about her doing anything.
Luckily Biden and Trump have agreed to a debate in June. That may be Biden’s opportunity to course correct.
