Guarenting a Biden victory is as easy as him publicly denouncing Israel and stopping all weapons sales and “aid” to Israel.

That's not even a majority opinion in the voters of the Democratic Party. I really don't know where you people are getting your idea of the American electorate.

No shit. This entire country is rabidly pro Israel in so many ways.

Not so much rabidly pro-Israel as 'there are no heroes here, just villains'. At least on the Left.

A poll was just released saying a majority of Democrats characterize what's happening as a genocide, and 30% said it was a top issue. 40% of likely voters in general call it a genocide and 70% want a permanent ceasefire. Where are you getting your idea of the American electorate from? Cause poll after poll has shown a majority of Americans and a large majority of Democrats, even if they won't call it a genocide, disapprove of what's happening in Palestine.

Even so if it was a fringe issue this election is looking to be incredibly close and may be decided by 10,000 of those "fringe" voters in Dearborn Michigan deciding not to vote for Biden.

Voters are split on whether they believe Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people living in Gaza, with 39% saying Israel is committing genocide, 38% saying Israel is not, and 23% saying they don’t know.

Furthermore, Americans sympathize with Israelis far more than they sympathize with Palestinians, which suggests denouncing Israel may not actually help Biden win.

A separate question in the poll underscores Americans’ leanings toward Israel, as it finds 51% saying they sympathize more with the Israelis and 27% more with the Palestinians. The remainder say they sympathize equally with both sides (4%), do not sympathize with either side (10%) or do not have an opinion (8%).
