He needs that 18-35 vote which are 85% against him currently

This is not a commentary on the policy position.

I don’t think he really needs it as much as people think. The people most vocal in their rebuke of Biden are young people who ostensibly don’t vote. When those people are excluded Biden and Trump are basically even, like they are across most demographics in polling (though I’ve previously stated my belief that Trump gets consistently overrepresented in polls).

This is a classic example of why young people should aim to have better turnout at elections, because until they do, people will be less inclined to court them with policy.

This from CNN:




No doubt there is an impact of this issue on polling. I just think it is way too soon and too temperamental to suggest it’s terminal for his campaign.

When push comes to shove, if young people just don’t show up to vote then that will be… well quite normal really.

If they don’t want to vote for Biden, they could all vote for Sanders instead.

But the argument Bob is when the majority of your support, large percentage want you to change course and he still won't listen you have to ask, Why?

Because he's made the calculation that he can't lose pro-israeli support. That costs him way more than the pro-palestinian support.

Great.. that's how you lose the Presidency, the House and the Senate and give a trifecta to a treasonous tyrant!

Was watching an interview with Michael Moore on CNN. He's from michigan and said Biden will lose every swing state because of his Israel stance and let Trump in. An absolute certainty unless he listens to the huge percentage of Democrats and changes direction on his policy.

Moore has called most elections right over his time. He's not listened to because he's been boxed in the batshit box by many.

Nope. The black vote, Muslim vote and pro palestinian vote have just fucked Biden in all those swing states.

He's litterly pleading into the camera for Biden to reverse his policy.

Not sure that helps!

I wasn’t being entirely serious. I’m amazed these protests have made the rolling news here. They don’t seem that bad to me.

It’s too early to determine what things happening today will mean.

Is there a ceasefire coming?
Is Trump going to be found guilty of a crime?
What does the economy look like in October/November?
Unemployment numbers?
Inflation?
Will moderate Republicans revisit the Border Bill?
Will they debate?
If so, will Trump look and sound crazier than Biden seems old?

There could LITERALLY be an event NO-ONE has yet thought of or discussed that could completely change the election over the next SIX MONTHS!!

180 days leading up to an election is an eternity!!!

And, old rural conservatives love to answer polls, whereas younger, urban voters don’t give a damn.

I’ve been called numerous times and don’t participate. I live in a solid blue state. If he doesn’t win IL, Biden can fold up the tent and head back to Delaware!!!
