He's walking a fine line. He is going to alienate young voters and not be able to get them back

Israel has already alienated the next generation, I agree, Biden risks losing them too.

Israel, through their response (overwhelming death, starvation, displacement, denial of medical aid, sanitation, outright lies, etc..) have finally broken the spell Israel has over America.

They’ve lost the next generation and all the AIPAC money won’t buy it back. ….but that doesn’t stop dinosaurs like Biden trying to hold on like the M.I.C. depends on it. Many Americans, especially younger ones, don’t want to be allied with the evil they see Israel perpetrating. The narrative has shifted, and it’s just a matter of time before that generation transitions into power.

Except for republican voters they are still staunchly pro Israel.

…while they hate jews. ..or is it just the jewish controlled media, banking industries? /s I don’t know, and can’t keep up. They mostly stand for hate, it gets confusing where the easily manipulated get pointed.

This still blows my mind. My own brother was glazing up Kayne during his episode for telling it how it is. And now he is down with Israel. I guess some people's Islamophobia is stronger than their antisemitism

They’re still going to vote Biden.. the other option is Trump and we all know they don’t want that.

And let Trump win? He’s more against their cause then Biden is.

I mean, is he though?

Personally, I fucking hate Biden - I detest him, I think he's one of the worst presidents we have ever have....however, I will hold my nose in disgust and vote for him because I know Trump is even worse.

This argument is becoming harder and harder to make though - Biden is vowing to crack down on University protests, he refuses to do anything to stop this genocide, he continues to defend Israel and sell them weapons, he refuses to reclassify marijuana - He doesn't really have a lot to offer young people.

Young people are pissed at Biden, and for good reason; kind of hard to mobilize people when they hate you. "The other guy is worse" is not really energizing; some people will still vote for him while disliking him, but I would never knock on doors or volunteer for the Biden campaign and they're having a hard time finding people for this very reason.
