A group of Biden's reelection campaign staff said in a letter that volunteers are upset with his handling of the Israel-Hamas war.
In a letter published Wednesday on Medium, an anonymous group of Biden's campaign staffers demanded the president call for a ceasefire in Gaza, citing concerns that not shifting his policy on the issue could hurt his 2024 chances.
"Biden for President staff have seen volunteers quit in droves, and people who have voted blue for decades feel uncertain about doing so for the first time ever, because of this conflict," the Medium letter read.
"It is not enough to merely be the alternative to Donald Trump," the campaigners continued. "The campaign has to shift the feeling in the pits of voters' stomachs, the same feeling that weighs on us every day as we fight for your reelection. The only way to do that is to call for a ceasefire."
The letter was organized by campaign staffers. Five of them confirmed the authenticity of the letter to West Wing Playbook. Those staffers, who were granted anonymity because of their concern of backlash, said they were motivated to organize their letter out of a sense of moral responsibility.
I'm sorry that reporting factual information is such a problem for you. Disliking Trump and Republicans in general is not a reason for me to be purposefully blind to the actions of those I do support.
Yes, I agree we should not be blind to the facts. For instance:
support for the president's response for the Israel-Hamas war had increased among young voters, up by 5 percentage points when compared to a similar poll conducted in October.
“bOtH siDeS!” Right? No one is asking you to be blind to what’s going on, but to shit on the one person that stands a chance to keep us from having a dictatorship?
I sincerely hope you are going to be proud of what you accomplish here.
If biden said we aren't supporting Isreal that would be the opening for Iran and friends to genocide Isreal and you would be the person who would say why isn't biden helping Isreal. This is a lose lose situation. And you seem to have decided to be a single issue voter, so vote your conscious but when Trump is turning palanstine into glass and rounding up any non Christians into camps remember that it was your fault because biden didn't control a country that he isn't president of.
He absolutely should be better. But what you’re saying is- let’s not support the one guy for doing the same thing that the other guy will do- only the other guy is a twice-impeached treasonous rapist that will run America like a dictatorship.
Look, they’re both going to shit on Palestine. Why give the one that’s has and is going to also going to shit on America- a pass?
It’s not time to make stands on foreign affairs anymore. And the fact that you’re able to even consider it shows you’re in a better place now that’s you will be if that traitor is elected. We won’t have that luxury to be concerned with it if he’s allowed to be dictator. We need to save THIS country right now. Otherwise- and TRUST ME ON THIS….
