    Biden’s approval so low that libs are desperately looking for someone to blame 6 months ahead of time

    If leftists are so important to the coalition then maybe Biden should have been trying harder to earn their vote

      Elections in the US are won by single-digit percentage points.

      If leftists are 2% of the coalition, and anti-leftists are 20% of the coalition, do you think it’s reasonable for the leftists to demand total capitulation to them in exchange for their vote? Do you think that a total capitulation to the leftists, in this case, would result in the coalition then having a net… gain in votes?

      Sorry that you’re so uncomfortable with the way democracy works.

          Okay, I’ll tell Biden to put away his taser and stop saying that the Palestinian protesters don’t have a point and should be brutally attacked by local police.

              Yeah, I remember when he said “Those Palestinian protesters don’t have any valid concerns, they’re just a bunch of antisemites.”

                  Ah, I knew that lazy soundbite would come up. You get that from a script, or are you just good at parroting?

                  “Mr. President, what’s your message to the protesters? Do you condemn the antisemitic protests on college campuses?” reporters asked the president after his speech Monday afternoon.

                  “I condemn the antisemitic protests,” Biden replied to the reporters. “That’s why I set up a program to deal with that.”

                  “I also condemn those who don’t understand what’s going on with the Palestinians.”
