President Biden attended a fundraiser in San Francisco late Wednesday where protesters showed up calling for an end to US aid for Israel and a cease-fire in its ongoing war in Gaza.
You can mock them all you like but that isn’t going to make them show up at the ballot box.
I’m aware.
There are people who are going to be dumb about this and stay home or vote third party. Thing is there’s nothing anyone will say or do that will change their minds one way or another. I know because I voted for Jill Stein in 2016, in Wisconsin. Some have to make the mistake first hand to know it was wrong. It is what it is.
Upshot is I suspect major operations will be wrapped up by late spring. If so Gaza will be a distant memory to most voters in November.
Biden had an 81,000 vote margin in the key electoral college states to work with in 2020. Hopefully he can take the hit this Gaza situation will bring.
If he can’t, so be it. Life will just get worse faster but at least I’ll get to have a little bit of schadenfreude on the way down watching the Tiktokd left live the meme.
I see that meme and I think moderates when they cry that their pro-corporate, strike blocking, genocide supporting trash candidate who refuses to compromise with leftists or progressives loses to Donald Trump.
You look at 2016 and you feel guilty for what you did. I look at 2016 and thought “surely moderates will see the error of their ways and understand they can’t win elections without us.”
Nope. Despite moderates being the majority voting bloc they convinced themselves and a good deal of progressives that it was our fault. It’s complete horse shit.

…with people who chant from the river to the sea yet cry genocide at every turn without a hint of Irony.
I take solace in the fact there’s not a damn thing you’re going to do that will change a thing.
Then ignore me.
I do for most threads on the topic unless I missed my entertainment quota for the day.
