MODERATORS
 

Disgruntled progressive activists and organizations have embarked on a campaign to push voters to mark themselves “uncommitted” in protest of Biden’s stance on the Israel-Hamas War.

With 95% of the expected vote tabulated, 70.5% of voters backed Biden while 19.0% went uncommitted, according to a tabulation by The Associated Press.

In Minnesota, more than 45,000 marked themselves “uncommitted” — a number greater than the margin by which Hillary Clinton defeated Donald Trump in the state in 2016.

Pretty sure Netanyahu wants Trump re-elected so he’s going to make Biden’s life as difficult as possible. I think Biden loses favor no matter what he does when it comes to Gaza, unless there’s another crisis he can better at good dealing with.

The problem is that everything he does right becomes old news. Remember when the Republicans almost made us go into default? Biden got that resolved without selling the farm or plunging our economy. We avoided the post-covid global recession that seemed inevitable. I don't know if that was because of the interest rates. But that's why they did it, and we didn't have a recession. Polls show most people are feeling better about the economy, but Biden is still viewed unfavorably on economy.

Republicans almost make us go into default every time there's a vote on the debt ceiling with a Democratic POTUS. Our national credit rating was even downgraded last August and previously before in 2011 for similar reasons.

“…crisis he can look better at dealing with.” I swear I didn’t have a stroke just now.

Why would Netanyahu care either way? He's currently allowed to slaughter an entire people and he'll still be allowed to slaughter regardless of who wins the election.
