It’s vitally important that Democrats now ask one question and one question only: Does Biden have the best chance of beating Trump, or is there someone else readily available who has a better chance?

Voters simply don't care about Gaza anywhere near as much as they care about literally everything else

Well that's a damning indictment of the American people if I ever saw one!

With the exception of chronically online lemmings and less than 10% of Democratic voters, nobody else really cares.

Yeah, it's just the systematic slaughter of mostly defenseless civilians, specifically targeting aid workers, health workers and journalists, and also tens of thousands of children!

Just flagrant daily crimes against humanity, nothing you'd care about if you weren't a chronically online Lemming! /s

You're very much on the wrong side of history if you are indifferent to the many war crimes of Israel as well as the contributions of the US and other Western countries making it possible for them to continue in perpetuity.

Yeah none of that changes the fact that voters don't care. Sorry people have different priorities than you, it seems like it really bothers you.

Yeah, it actually DOES bother me that some people don't care about constant atrocities committed on helpless innocents. I'm kooky like that!

I wouldn't think that Donald Trump levels of casual indifference towards the mass murder and systemic torture of fellow human beings would be the norm amongst Democratic voters, but I guess it either is or there's something wrong with the methodology of the statistics you so gleefully present as redemptive of your Dear Leader..

Feel free to point out repeated, systemic flaws that might lead to that kind of consistent result. If not, I'll just assume it's because you simply can't wrap your mind around the fact that voters have different priorities than you. Truth hurts.

There's different priorities and then there's a near-total disregard for the lives and well-being of fellow humans.

There's disagreement on whether economic or social issues are more important. Whether foreign policy is important or only domestic issues really matter. Tons of room for legitimate disagreement there.

And then there's being indifferent to some of the worst atrocities humans have ever submitted other humans to being perpetrated in your name using weapons paid for by your tax dollars and political cover by the politicians you have chosen to represent you.

If that doesn't bother you, WHAT fucking does?

I've never said what does and doesn't bother me. This conversation isn't about me at all. It's about voters, and about the fact that you mischaracterized their "main source of discontent". I showed evidence that it is, in fact, not their main source of discontent. It barely even registers, your personal outrage notwithstanding.

Voters do not care. Full stop. There are a number of likely reasons for that, but it's not terribly complicated.

Voters do not care. Full stop.

Yeah, I often protest in the streets and on campuses, risking arrest or much worse from cops and Zionist agitators based on "not caring" 🙄

I'm not a statistician, so I'm gonna let someone else locate the smoking gun, but those statistics CANNOT reflect actual reality. Especially since at least the first one suggests that people aren't really That worried about CLIMATE CHANGE either.

I'm thinking maybe sampling bias or asking the questions in Norwegian? 🤔

I linked the polls directly. Feel free to check the language of the questions out yourself. Looks like English to me.

Sure, it LOOKS like English, but they didn't write the questions phonetically, so some of them might be asked with a Norwegian accent so impenetrable as to be incomprehensible!

Voters don't care.

They don't even care whether or not they understand the questions now?

Sounds like a highly unlikely electorate 🤔

Voters don't care about Gaza. Whatever weird "last word" game you're playing now doesn't detract from that. Sorry the truth makes you uncomfortable.

Voters don't care about Gaza

It seems very important for you to repeat that statistical error again and again. Methinks you're a Zionist Biden apologist and just trying to checks notes make Biden look good by making the population of the United States look horrible.

Whatever weird "last word" game you're playing

I'd accuse you of the same, but I'm pretty sure that repeating yourself doesn't count 🤷

Sorry the truth makes you uncomfortable.

1: No, you're obviously not the least bit sorry

2: no matter how many cherry picked pieces of faulty data you pull out of your ass, it's by definition not true that voters that risk their lives for a cause don't care about that cause.

If I'm right about you being a Zionist, you obviously value non-Israeli human lives very little, but the rest of us actually tend to find them precious enough that we generally don't waste them if we can avoid it

3: only thing making me uncomfortable is your seemingly total lack of regard for humans that are inconvenient to your Dear Leader and/or your favorite fascist apartheid regime 🤷
