    Literal nazis were allowed to march in charlotesville and these protests are being called antisemitic.

    Biden is not going to win this election.

      Lowest approval out of all recent presidents and people want me to believe my single sympathy vote can save them. I don’t think I have the heart to tell some of them my voting habits when the time inevitably comes. Investors and major leaders already accepted the good numbers for a Trump victory and they’re hoping for a good year in business when he rolls around again, some fresh profit margins. They don’t understand that I’m not rich enough to decide, the rulers of the country already made their picks and they won’t accept less without some serious promises from Biden

          Some people are really dense lol. Biden has lost this election with his response to these protests. Left wingers are not anti semites and you would have to literally be dumb as fuck to believe otherwise

            But voting Trump would be just throwing gas on that fire. He is all in on this genocide and has called it great. His base thinks they need the Jews to trigger Armageddon so the Zombie Sky Wizard can come save them all. He would also pull funding from Ukraine, and back Putin in anything he wants.

            Also anyone writing that the protests are antisemitism are spreading right wing talking points. They know the majority of the left have an issue with being seen as racist, while they wear their hoods with pride.

            EDIT - autocorrect is my enemy.

              That’s not enough to convince these students being arrested now,

              Biden is literally calling them anti semites

              And no one said anything about voting for Trump, although I think he will win now if not because of this specifically

                I would be really surprised if Trump won. The guy has so many points against him it’s laughable. What’s more, people know what kind of a president he’ll be already. He isn’t some wacky unknown like in 2016. So, people would be voting him with full knowledge of what they’re voting for.

                  30-40% of the United States voting base is literally ignorant racist fucks. Biden will win the popular vote but to win the electoral college he needs at the very least 55% or so and the battleground states matter most.

                If they don’t vote for democracy, they are allowing the rise of a dictator. A dictator that is going to make their world a whole lot worse. Someone calling them an anti-semite when they know they aren’t, and the Jewish people protesting with them know they are not, sucks and is misguided. But that shouldn’t be reason enough to hand democracy over to the guy who wants to be a dictator. The next protest they attend will have the military putting it down, or his proud boys.

                  Your point of view is incorrect. They have their own world view, and from that world view they see Biden as a supporter of genocide, and he has embraced his support of the genocidal regime.

    The numbers are going up and there are far more campuses involved, iirc.

    Colorado, Arizona, Louisiana, South Carolina, Oregon from what I can see. Check the latest NYTimes article. And yes, there are already mass arrests being made at these more recent campus protests. They are taking this very seriously.

    I really thought Israel was gone in 2022 and was going to accept a silent death. Look how wrong I was to assume…

    Ah fuck.

    As an online student, I was surprised to see my college on the map and also in red.

    If my college wasn’t too far away I hope I would be in jail (edit: for nonviolent civil disobedience reasons, not because I was in a fist fight or something)

          Yeah, whenever a Democrat loses, the Democrat did nothing wrong. The Democrats never do anything wrong. It’s always those damn progressives!
