    Are they really going to risk a Trump reelection if Biden doesn’t follow through?

    I mean yes. Young voters being disappointed with the electoral process and not voting has been a problem for a while, and Biden isn’t making it better. Unfortunately yes, they are likely prepared to act on it.

        Biden bears the blame if he LOSES the election to trump. He’s the one running. Its his responsibility to EARN the votes. A ceasefire of an ongoing genocide is a tiny ask from “the most progressive president ever” who also is causing millions of deaths in the US from pretending the pandemic is over, making jokes about not wearing masks, and doing nothing to enforce clean air in schools, businesses, etc.

        It’s insane people are more angry at the threat of not voting for biden if he doesn’t do the bare minimum of calling for a ceasefire than being mad at biden for funding a genocide by an apartheid state using.

        Yeah true enough, but what I’m saying it’s not an empty threat. Some of these much-needed voters will sit out the election if nothing is done about this mess.

        That blame cuts both ways. Biden neglecting the progressive leaders if the party is his own undoing. The right is happy to sink centrists, and thats why the US is drifting so far right.
