WASHINGTON, May 18 (Reuters) - Several top White House aides say they are confident protests across U.S. college campuses against Israel's offensive in Gaza will not translate into significantly fewer votes for Joe Biden in November's election, despite polls showing many Democrats are deeply unhappy about the president's policy on the war.

The White House optimism on the issue, which is shared by many in the Biden campaign, runs contrary to dire warnings from some Democratic strategists and youth organizers who warn misjudging the situation could cost Biden votes in a tight race with Republican rival Donald Trump.

And if you had a point, you wouldn’t need to change the topic or rewrite what people say to you.

I've heard this lie before from you.

You know, for two guys who have claimed, repeatedly, "Imma block you!" you really seem intent on replying to each other.

Please, engage the block. I don't want to have to ban either of you, but the repeated slap fights are tiresome.
