Wake up, dude. Young people are mad about your policy on Israel. It’s not gonna end.
Love the block feature, highly recommend trying.
It's more likely that they don't vote.
Biden should get to work in fulfilling his constituents demands, then.
You don’t get to use authoritarianism and then claim your opponent is the authoritarian. Terrible things are happening under Biden, but I should make the terrible things keep happening because if I don’t the terrible things will get worse? Americans are fucked.
He doesn't care, he knows that we're left without another choice, and he's enjoying the AIPAC money too much
He has been a Zionist for his entire life, I don't think he needs a bribe to make bad decisions
He doesn't need one but I'm sure he appreciates it
Young people are divided on Israel/Gaza.
I’d be careful with relying on poll cross tabs on issues of morality. The sample size is usually too small to tell right from wrong.
Sure, but if Biden is guided by his moral code instead of politics then he has even less reason to care if young people are mad at him.
@Truth_Hurts
An apparent bug in my instance prevents me from seeing some comments, but I saw yours via the "context" button on replies. Fuck your hive mind shit. Children are being murdered. That has nothing to do with anything other than children being murdered. Suck my ass.
How do you context button?
It's the second icon beneath a comment if you look at your replies (on my instance, but I think the layout is standardized). I need it for about half of replies to make sense. Looks like this (for my instance):
I don’t have that on voyager but it sounds good to have
I don't know if your intention was to prove their point, but you did.
The point is that some young people are mad about Biden's policy, some likely support it, but the biggest group isn't even paying attention.
Politically, that's grounds for maintaining the status quo.
ahh the nuances of supporting an active genocide. It’s strange that might be polarizing and cause folks to be outraged. Whaddaya gonna do? People need to understand that this is an election year /s
34,500 and counting
What a disgusting take
34,500+ can’t say anything anymore because Israel. You do you
The US can do a major part by simply not finding it! That’s why it’s a no brainer. When you start funding and taking sides it gets complicated; this is rather clear, that’s why.
This is correct, you are being downvoted for being right but the hive mind on here tends to support terrorism & murder as long as they are Muslim and the victims are not Muslim.
This, and the opposite "wow feminists and LGBTQ+ people supporting people who would see them dead" are both woefully awful takes.
