Joe Biden campaign volunteers are quitting in "droves"
Joe Biden campaign volunteers are quitting in "droves"
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."
You're viewing a single thread.
Just so we're clear, the source for this article is an anonymous post to Medium that claims to be from 17 staffers.
This is not "news"

And it didn't even provide any evidence that volunteers were quitting in droves.
17 does not equal droves
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.

Nice try though to ignore the issue.
You realize that article uses the same source right? It explicitly states it early on.
Yes, and states that the authenticity of those behind it were confirmed. So it's not "claims to be from 17 staffers", we know for a fact that it IS from 17 staffers. It is only anonymous to protect them from getting attacked from AIPAC and related groups, as they have been doing to anyone that criticizes Israel and has any prominence.
Where does it say that the identities were confirmed? I've read the entire article like 3 times looking for it and can't seem to find it.
Did you not read the comment of mine you previously replied to? Where I quoted from a Politico article?
Yes, I'm referring to the politico article. Where does it say in the politico article that the identities were confirmed?
Literally the part I quoted above.
YES BUT WHERE, WHICH LETTER? NOT A SINGLE LETTER BUT MULTIPLE LETTERS??
SUSPICIOUS.
CHECKMATE, LIBERAL.
