No that is not true. Biden had two other opponents in this primary, so he wasn't "against literally No one."

And he won this state by a bigger margin in the last election compared to "undecided" voters in this primary.

The constant goal post moving and dishonesty about this primary ahs been quite disgusting.

Not a huge deal when compared to the last primary for a incumbent democrat president getting similar enough results.

For reference in 2012 with Obama, who had no opponents in the primary, got ~11% undecided in around 195,000 votes.

Whereas Biden got 13.2% undecided, while facing Dean Philips and Marianne Williamson, with way more voters with 760,000+ this time.

So, a difference of ~2%-2.5% with conditions not related to the protest boosting those numbers. Not much to write home about I would say, but something Biden still has to focus on to help himself regardless.

Doesn't really mean much considering most would probably vote for for Biden anyway, seeing how this is more of a protest vote and Trump being the challenger again. And Trump being worse for not just Gaza but women's rights, trans people, and the general state of Democracy in this country.

Tankies and hardcore leftists despising liberals, then throw in information wars of Israel/Palestine, and then add a dash election astroturfing.

Well, it sounds like they were at least half a million dollars in debt.

Drove off a bunch of big donors.

Lost their original headquarters.

Burned valuable time.

Thrown the party into civil war.

And that is just the stuff we know about.

Biden was going to piss off some group of people due to how polarizing the conflict is. I always thought he was doing pretty well even when it began.

His only sore spot seems to come from giving a lot of support to Israel, as they ARE one of our allies, and for us to just ignore that would look bad to our other allies. Especially after having a terrorist attack on their country by the Hamas. Geopolitics being complex beast.

But he has been advocating for civilian safety and making sure the water doesn't get turned off......

Can't say I would've done much better or anyone else here.

I know many are calling for a "permanent" ceasefire........but there was already a ceasefire before this. So, we would just be waiting until it gets "broken" again. Probably by another Hamas attack. Who ARE terrorists and want Israel eliminated altogether.

Let's not also forget if Trump was in charge then this situation would've been handled a lot less gracefully. Or even spiral out of control.

Geopolitics at work, as ugly as it is. Diplomacy and Peace are all but impossible at this point, unless a miracle or three happens.

**Hamas is too ingrained and supported in Palestine to stop attacking Israel.

Israel too much in a blood rage and conquest to stop their assault on Palestine.**

Calling for calm or the end of the violence will hardly stop or improve anything, and more than likely show how ineffective America is. Let alone aggravating all sides.

So......they stay quiet and see how things play out whilst managing things the best they can. Biden has called to help civilians, so at least there's that.

I don't see this ending unless all of Palestine or Israel is gone.

Regardless if the guy deserved it or not, killing them in a country you are supposed to be on good terms with is not the way to go about it.

At this point India is barely even trying to hide it.

Already failed the DoD vote, so he's running out of options.

If he does go to the Democrats, he's screwed. If he doesn't he is still screwed.

Dude wanted this job too.....hahahahahaha!

Only a couple hundred more to go, but f*cking finally!

Unfortunately, as long as the lights stay on, air conditioning keeps blasting, grocery store stays stocked, and entertainment remains flowing then people won't do anything.

The people who could do something would make them lose the next election, be labeled terrorists, or start get harping on "won't you think of the economy!"

Progress is being made, but drastic measures needed to happen decades ago. The question is now how quickly and badly will things get, and how well we can manage it....

I'm sensing a tend here....

On another note, how is it SO HARD not to sexually assault or RAPE anyone when you are a celebrity and/or rich?

Considering their policy doesn't allow for other stuff like this, yeah I am not surprised.

Reminds me of the time when a Spiderman mod removed the VERY few instances of a pride flag in a recreation of NEW YORK CITY and a Skyrim mod that removed any potential gay romances that only occur when wearing a very specific amulet (including a single dead skeleton couple off the beaten path.)

Those got booted as well cause.....come on now. Its blatantly targeting a group of people about their sexuality and gender who have BARELY any presence to begin with in these games.

Starfield is even more egregious as its LITERALLY just a menu option and the rare use in dialogue....

Really pathetic and sad people would even feel the need to make them to begin with. Let alone feel the need to upload them to a platform.

 

Personally, Haven and Our Life: Beginnings and Always are some I personally enjoyed.

Tali from Mass Effect was also very nice.

 

Republicans in the battleground states of Michigan and Arizona are paying a high price for their full-throated support of former President Donald Trump and his lie that the 2020 election was stolen from him.
