Honestly, at this point, the Pro-Hamas wing of the Democrat base is a lost cause. I'm talking about the "Uncommitted", heckling, protesting variety of voters. They think Biden is committing a genocide and there really is no way to win someone over who thinks that (after all, what's worse than a genocide?).

But, this also is a fringe minority of the electorate. They are loud, yes, but far from a majority. The vast majority of Americans, particularly moderates and independents, think October 7 was horrific and unjustified. They believe Israel has a right to defend itself and to exist. And they certainly do not support Hamas or have any sympathy for that cause.

As I said, Biden has nothing to lose at this point. But he has a way to lock up moderates and even some disaffected conservatives that will more than make up for the loss of the radical base. Case in point, John Fetterman's approval numbers have gone UP since he came out strongly in support of Israel.

Fetterman is a shtick artist worthy of the Vaudeville stage, and it's going to catch up to him someday.

Not only would Biden look terrible ("old man screams at a bunch of dumb college students"), there's also the fact that he's actually president. His actions have some influence over how events unfold. He can't just default to unconditionally backing Israel when even someone like Chuck Schumer is pushing for more nuance.

You ever heard of a Sista Soulja moment? It worked wonders for Bill Clinton. One of Biden's biggest flaws has been his unwillingness to call out the left flank of his party. It's plagued his entire administration from day one and now it's caught up to him. Far left politics are not popular and trying to placate to that fringe group has no upside to it.

The biggest problem these days is the amount of far left people who work in the administrative state and that’s what’s plagued the administration.
Biden is just listening too much to Kamala Harris & her big Donors.
Do you really believe Pres Biden is pulling the strings in the WH? Nope mate! Kamala Harris is basically a Shadow President and Nikki Haley may have a Point when she said that a Biden Win means a Harris Presidency. I still believe that Biden won't serve out his Term but I am supporting him to get rid of Trump and his lunatics.

2028 will be fun mate with Harris being the Democratic Version of Donald Trump by being so unpopular.

I've gone record and stated clearly that which ever party looses this election will be better off in the long run.
