Biden is not passively funding the slaughter of Palestinians, he’s working hard to do so, bypassing Congress at least twice. And his supposed “outrage” at Israel’s genocide is not convincing. With each week Biden seems determined to hand the election over to Trump.
The activist, progressive, empathetic left of the base has been protesting loudly while the wealthier, white, comfortable middle class portion of the Democratic base generally seems more self-concerned. My outsider perspective is that while this wealthy Democratic base has generally dominated the party it may be that Biden’s active support of war crimes and genocide might prove a tipping point.
Almost 50,000 Wisconsin voters just told Biden to stop the Gaza war. Will he listen? | The Guardian
The protest vote in Wisconsin has made clear that this campaign is bigger than Biden. The many people calling for a ceasefire aren’t merely swing voters or bitter castoffs who have long left the party. Many involved in the uncommitted campaigns have, until now, been committed Democrats. But they fear a critical mass of voters may permanently leave the Democratic party if Biden and other leaders don’t implement a ceasefire in Gaza, and quickly. For some voters, even that may be too little, too late.
