Whatever Biden was going to do about the Israel-Gaza war, he was going to lose votes. Intractable Jan 2025 #6

He wouldn't have lost Jewish votes unless he was anti semitic JI7 Jan 2025 #12

I don't agree with your statements. Intractable Jan 2025 #15

I said most Jewish voters. Not all. JI7 Jan 2025 #16

Yeah, but they aren't independent voters that we're trying to court. However, there are plenty of moderates LeftInTX Jan 2025 #34

And probably MORE "moderates" who voted the cost of eggs and a bag of Doritos. Jack Valentino Jan 2025 #49
