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.
Jesus tapdancing christ his advisors are so high on their own farts if they really believe that.
College kids have crappy turnout. This is very well documented.
The U.S. Census Bureau estimated 54.1% of 18- to 29-year-olds voted in 2020, which had the highest youth turnout overall of any election in the 21st century.
Average across all ages is 60%

6% is probably representative of millions of votes.
So you won’t be blaming them if Trump wins? If they’re insignificant enough to ignore, they’re too insignificant to blame.
Don’t shoot the messenger.

Of course you’ll blame anyone but Biden if he loses.

If you had defensible positions, you would do something other than gaslighting, abuse, and baseless accusations.

I’ve heard this lie before from you.
No we’re not, because despite you saying you’re done with the conversation because you know it won’t go anywhere, you seem incapable of walking away without having the last word.
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.
No, I would blame Biden for being a complete fucking ass about the whole Palestinian Genocide.
There’s a right side and a wrong side here. To be incredibly blunt: the fact that Jewish people endured the Holocaust does not give Israel carte blanche to perpetrate their own genocide. And that puts aside the fact that Israel is NOT, in fact, synonymous with Jewish people. There are a hell of a lot of Jews (including Israeli civilians) who vehemently object to what’s happening.

I just call it like I see it man, no point in softening language
Belief is irrelevant. PR would always say this to downplay affects and keep supporters engaged. Apathy will kill Biden’s chances more than anything else.
You sound like you’re high on your own farts
