Plus everyone is so scared about what Trump might do as opposed to what Biden is doing, which is a genocide. Hell, he’s probably won over some people from the right for his unwavering support for Israel.

    I don’t think Palestine is going to be as big a contributing factor to Biden losing if he does. The man is just hated by the general public. It’s really a toss-up at this point as to who wins but I think it will be close either way.

      The thing about young people is that they aren’t important electorally because of their vote. They don’t vote as much. But they are very important for their free labor in Democratic campaigns. They bring out the olds. And they are extremely, extremely demobilized this year.

      i’ve come to feel that the power of nationalism is that there is a hard limit to how much increased awareness of geopolitical realities can change peoples’ minds. like, someone, maybe even the average american, can fully comprehend and believe that an entire people is being massacred by a US ally with weapons given to them by the US, and support it. there’s no moment of disillusionment, because they aren’t supporting the abstract tenets of some ideal of the nation, but the nation per se. they say “my country, right or wrong” and they mean it 100%.
