Tinidril,

OMFG, if we are going to do this, can you promise to pay attention? I’ll be optimistic and assume you’ll try this time.

First of all, you are just flat wrong about support for Israel’s occupation of Gaza. Maybe on October 8, but that support has tumbled.

Second, Democrats win or lose elections on exactly one thing - turnout. The voters who may or may not show up are the whole fucking ballgame.

Third, the handling of that press conference was absolute political malpractice. I’m no fan of spin, but sometimes not even trying can be even more insulting.

Reporter: Have these protests caused you to reconsider any of the policies with regard to the region?

Biden: “No.” - Mic drop, leaves podium.

Even without all the unnecessary lies in the rest of the conference, that is an absolute trash fire. Nobody expected Biden would stop supporting Israel, but being that tone deaf is remarkable for a career politician at the literal peak of their profession.
