Republicans are using a narrative of chaos and ‘philosophical divisions on Israel’ among Democrats to sink Biden’s campaign
Republicans have identified recent college protests against Israel’s war in Gaza as the core of an election campaign narrative of chaos that they hope can be used to sink Joe Biden’s presidency.
The approach was bluntly crystallised by Tom Cotton, the Republican senator Arkansas, in a recent television interview when he mocked the encampments that have sprung up in recent weeks as “little Gazas” and lambasted the president for a perceived failure to unequivocally denounce instances of antisemitism.
I think Biden is far from perfect. I straight up disagree with him on a few things. I’d say he actually kinda sucks in some ways. But at the end of the day, he’s gotten a lot more done in closer to the right direction than I ever would’ve expected, and the other viable option to vote for will undo that and steer things in the wrong direction if elected.
We just can’t let good be the enemy of perfect. Biden is the only option for any hope of a positive future. A lot of the posters you’re talking about are bad faith actors, and their whole goal is convincing some people to stay home in November. 2020 went to Biden by only like 30k people across a handful of states, so it’s pretty clear that they want to dissuade people who are somewhat on the fence to chip away at that difference. They know that trump is polarizing af and even with the electoral college tilting in their favor, they need to pretend that Biden is polarizing too.
I don’t think you understand that these Gazans would see America burn to the ground before they acknowledge that Biden might be the best option.
Gazans? I’m missing something here.
I’m guessing they’re using the shit stain politician’s nomenclature to describe the protesters.
