President Joe Biden’s support for the Israeli military offensive in Gaza mixed with student anger over police crackdowns on anti-war campus protests are complicating the work of Democratic youth groups trying to engage classmates and other Generation Z voters ahead of this year’s election.
I believe they’re talking about Democrat electors, like Schumer and Bernie. No one here is against speaking out or protesting. The topic is voting. If people abstain, Trump will win. His unwavering base will make sure of that.
Also, you said you’re not a democrat. Which is it? Or do you just manipulate your stance to fit the narrative you’re selling?
I thought you had written that you left the party years ago. My mistake. Also, accusing people of loving genocide is despicable and further discrediting to you. Of course I’m passionately against killing of any kind, especially when targeting a specific group.
I’m not defending Biden’s support of Israel. This post is about voting, and yes, I’m absolutely reluctantly voting for him to keep Trump from a second term. You are either completely ignorant to the implications of your comments or you are actively trying to get Trump into office.
I’m not angry. In fact, I’m quite well adjusted. You should consider paying more attention to your well being and less attention to opportunities to attack and misrepresent others online.
Yeah, they’re speaking out against the protests. Biden even got in on it with his short speech recently finger wagging the student protests, in case you were wondering how much democrats care about acting against genocide.
What is the answer? People are commenting like they can just abstain and everything will work out. I’m commenting as an anti-Trump voter. Provide a suggestion that isn’t whining about bad choices and I’ll listen.
The answer is for people who voted for Biden in the 2020 primaries to apologize for putting us in this position. Otherwise they’re just gonna do it again in 2028.
It would demonstrate some self awareness from the people who created this situation. If they plan on behaving differently in the next primaries then it’s worth it to hold my nose and vote for Biden again in the hopes of having someone substantially better in 2028.
The fact that there is no apology means whoever is elected in the 2028 primaries won’t be any better. It’s probably going to be HRC.
Are you talking about the DNC providing limited options in the primary, or those who voted in the primary? You can vote in any primary just by changing your registration. I’ve done it several times. I have no party loyalty. I’m loyal to my ideals and will vote in any primary that looks to benefit my ideals best.
The answer is to continue to pressure democrats, known as “the good party”, to actually do good things they claim they want to do but refuse to actually do.
I completely agree. I’m only commenting against the inaccuracy of protesting at the polls. The topic of this thread and post is supporting Biden in the election, not in his support of Israel.
He talked about these elements as if they were the entirety of the movement. It doesn’t matter how much you police the movement, any jackass can make the movement look bad with the help of biden and the media pretending like they represent the movement.
Democrats are speaking out though?
And getting called trump supporting russians when we do.

Oh cool. Where did I say that?
Is it in the same chunk of your imagination where you assume I support trump because I don’t love genocide like you do?

You didn’t care when you were accusing me of supporting trump and by extension genocide. So deal with it.
But are happy to scream false accusations at anyone who isn’t willing to pretend that Biden’s support for genocide is acceptable.
Really? Because you acted like I was a single issue voter for just pointing out that single issue voters exist and that Biden needs to adapt.
Of course adaptation might involve dropping support for genocide, so I can see why that would make you angry.
I very much doubt that there’s any reluctance involved, unless he drops his support for genocide.
I’m trying to get Democrats to stop being the Other Genocide Party. Which bothers you.

Would you rather he ask about shooting the protestors?
Everyone knows trump is worse. The answer to hitler is not hitler-lite.

How would an apology for voting change anything in the next election? You’ve legitimately lost me.

He called out elements of the student protest movement, not the movement as a whole.
Maybe if we policed the most unhelpful and destructive elements of the movement for ourselves, we wouldn’t be in this situation.
He talked about these elements as if they were the entirety of the movement. It doesn’t matter how much you police the movement, any jackass can make the movement look bad with the help of biden and the media pretending like they represent the movement.
The Columbia divestment spokesperson said they had no involvement with the group which took over Hamlin Hall, but stood in solidarity with them.
When the movement as a whole stands in solidarity with those who are weakening the movement, maybe Biden has a point.
