Democracy rule
(lemmy.ml)
I need y'all to understand: Biden isnt losing votes from the far left. He never had those votes, and could never get them.
He's losing the votes of Muslims and Arabs in Michigan and Philly. He's losing the votes of moderates who are watching Israel's final solution in horror. He's losing the votes of Latinos and Haitians who see the southern border is getting more militarized and more violent every year
[Edit] to be 100% clear: If you oppose Israel's war on Palestine, but plan on voting for Biden this November,this post isn't about you.
I think it's worth mentioning that Biden and his administration are putting more pressure on Israel to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza, and it is actively deteriorating the US/Israel relationship (which I could care less about if it means helping those that need it.) Does this make up for him helping Israel in the first place? No! Of course not! But it does show that he is at the very least hearing some of the criticism of his actions, and is acting accordingly. Of course, I must also stare for the sake of transparency that they have definitely not stopped sending Israel weapons, but as the election approaches and more people voice their disapproval with sending weapons to Israel, that very well could happen in the coming months. If US/Israel relations do break down, it would at the very least mean Israel doesn't get anymore weapons from us, and maybe we could push aid into Gaza regardless of what Isreal wants

Raytheon line must go up
The "pressure" is only as far as to show people he's doing something and politically posture. Real pressure would be to actually do things. Like not send them weapons, sanctions, etc.
