The figure comes as part of a new set of polls that show former President Donald Trump narrowly leading Biden in 5 out of 6 crucial battleground states.
Hmmmm maybe, and just throwing this out there, maybe if they want to win they could stop doing a genocide. It feels like that's what people are saying here. Just a thought, probably nothing
I've been seeing some complaints about the methodology of this poll, there is one good write-up presented here. Basically what it comes down to is that the New York Times not only cherry-picked from their own data, but they also polled heavily from Conservative voters rather than getting averages based on the demographics of each state.
It makes better headlines than the reality (both candidates are pretty evenly matched in each of the swing states with no clear winner), but this information is pretty much worthless other than hopefully getting more people to vote this year.
So who do they think they're going to vote for? Trump has also continually vowed his support of Israel and wouldn't have done anything different (except maybe sending even more weapons to them), while at the same time not supporting Ukraine at all.
They're going to vote for somebody who is not open about the fact that they are doing a genocide.
if that's too high of a bar for dems to clear that is dems problem and nobody else.
"You have tonvote for biden or trumpnwill bimb the rubble" is not an effective campaign strategy. They've concentrated the entire population into rafah and now they're moving into rafah, exactly like every single person criticizing Biden has been screaming they'll do since Biden started quadruppling down on unconditional support.
Trump might actually not be worse for Palestine because at this rate by next January there won't be anybody left to genocide.
If you believe that then I have a bridge to sell you. Sometimes we have a chance to vote on something that will improve things, but mostly we're lucky if the best we can do is vote to keep things from getting any worse.
I honestly don't believe that for a minute. You've got people who support Israel because that's what they've been taught to do their whole life, and then you have people actually paying attention to what's been going on and getting called antisemitic for calling out the genocide. Unfortunately the people who are unwilling to change their ways far outnumber the people who care.
Cornel West is the best option available, the united states NEEDS an intellectual, philosopher, and social critic in office. It's been an exceptional shit show more recently. Voting in someone with the ability to actually contemplate the consequences of their actions and not just listen to those with the most money is severely needed to get back on the path to being a functional country.
True enough, but until we get some sort of ranked-choice voting, there's no chance of a 3rd party candidate being more than a minor blip in the voting numbers.
