    “keeps moving right”

    Are you mixing things up? Israel support isn’t a right wing thing and the Democrats would lose a lot more pro Israel voters than pro Palestine voters because the alternative supports Israel as well.

    Otherwise Biden is much more progressive than people thought he would be.

      That seems to be the theory… Any sources for it though? Why are they allowed to be single issue voters, but not progressives? Why isn’t Joe out there saying stop the genocide or we’ll stop all support of Israel, and then sending in the meme team to harass the shit out of pro genocide centrists? Something like “it’s the most important election ever, how could you possibly be thinking of voting for Trump, don’t you know he LITERALLY supports Nazis? So you think Nazis don’t still hate Jews? Don’t you know that not voting or voting 3rd party is basically voting for Nazis??”

      Seriously, what are the stats? I just don’t believe there are that many people who would be like “well I was going to vote for Joe, but then he came out as anti genocide, so I guess I’ll just hold my nose and vote for Trump… Sure he’s a Nazi supporter, but at least he’ll keep the genocide going”

        You’ve got two pro-Israel parties, people who are pro-Palestine know things will be even worse with the Republicans in power, people who are pro-Israel know things will be the same or better (on that specific front) with Republicans in power. The far right you’re calling Nazis is on Israel’s side when it comes to fighting brown people.
