I think you might be spending too much time in echo chambers if you think Biden's position on Palestine is what would cost him an election. Most people just do not care enough about this either way to let it affect their vote, regardless of how you and I feel about it.
You don't need a lot of people to care. Just enough to swing the election.
Swing the election? Do you mean you'd vote for Trump who has a worse opinion on Palestine? I'm not sure I follow.
I wouldn't vote for Trump. And I don't think that the danger comes from people voting for Trump instead of Biden. I think it comes from people not voting at all. Supporting Israel depresses turnout, especially with young people.
Ok this makes more sense. Still I just don't see it being the thing that depresses turnout, it's not even on most people's top 5 issues.
What makes you say that?
