MODERATORS
So many takes in this thread rely on the dubious assumption Americans care about genocide and that it would effect their behavior one way or another in terms of voting
Americans are still getting over covid and inflation, they want four more years of brunch not Trump's shenanigans or the Nuremberg Trials
This country ain't shit folks, prepare to be universally disappointed
Everyone forgets that while, yes, young people, people who care about genocide, etc are not important voting blocs
they give a shitload of time to the democratic party during campaign season, and are responsible for turnout among the people who do numerically influence the election
End of the day the supermajority of those young people are still American liberals, by august when the campaign begins to heat up, none of them will be thinking about Palestine and they'll hold their nose just like they did in 2020, Biden's pull with white suburbanites will increase and many of young people who don't even want to hear Biden's voice right now will be knocking on doors by Halloween, liberal media's upcoming scaremongering campaign will guarantee it
Sure it's not going to shut that down completely, but I think we're gonna see a way lower participation from those folks compared to last time. And everything is marginal, everything is so close that the presidential election is a tennis match where every hit back and forth is some kind of nudge on this exact scale
