I hope the Biden campaign's math accounts for losing votes from Muslim Americans, college/university students, and the anti-war crowd (largely millennials and Gen Z across all religious and ethnic backgrounds).

Either these groups' losses do not affect their calculus, or they've made serious missteps.

It's frightening that the race remains tight despite the alternative. Quite the comment on the current state of American democracy.

Yeah. I think, if they want to win in November, they need to completely cease supporting the genocide. Short of doing that, I have to wonder if they even want to win ... or if they even deserve it.

I’m beyond the primary so I won’t be saying I’m not gonna vote Biden anymore… but wow is he doing everything in his power to chase people away.

@SocialJusticeHeals @Laukidh Similar here, I'm in Florida, Biden has no chance. And yes to the OP, the campaign attacking progressives is a disaster in the making.

@anubis2814 @Laukidh @SocialJusticeHeals In 2016, Florida had slightly more Dems registered than Republicans. That flipped in 2020.Democrats stopped spending money here due to electoral math. Now thanks to voter suppression and other tactics, there are a million more Republicans registered than Dems. Biden has no chance.

A day before Passover begins, the rabbi at Columbia University in NYC tells his Jewish students to go home as the school cannot keep them safe after pro-Palestinian protestors on campus yell “Burn Tel Aviv to the ground!” and other pro-violence slogans supporting Hamas.

@ifnotnowboston
There's a concerted effort right now by some corporate Democrats to paint peaceful anti genocide protesters as violent and antisemitic. It's a losing strategy, as well as morally despicable in the face of a genocide.

21 out of 431 members of Congress voted against funding and

all of them Republican

@afouxenidis which bill? This recent one had 37 Dems against, which is a lame showing, I know, there's only a few dozen principled Democrats left.

This is not the election to make political statements or purity tests.

Pritzker says it’s ‘throwing away’ votes if Democrats backed someone other than Biden https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4609357-pritzker-says-its-throwing-away-votes-if-democrats-backed-someone-other-than-biden/

@DemocracyMattersALot It's also not the election to go into supporting an obvious genocide.

Does not appear to be airborne. From WHO:

"To date, globally there have been 99 cases of human avian influenza A(H9N2) infections, including two deaths, reported to WHO since 2015."

Imagine someone told you in 2019 that the world would watch a genocide for seven months and not only do nothing but punish and kill people trying to stop it? What would you have said, then?

mikeblake ,
@mikeblake@climatejustice.rocks avatar

@LALegault And against the will of their people. I wouldn't have believed it possible. In 2019 I though better of so many leaders than I should have.

I admit to dismissing PBS as a 'boomer, middle-America' network and thinking the same of Rick Steves, but I'm glad to see him prove me wrong. And he's right, there's a lot more to Iran than what our western leaders and news media want us to think.
