As protests and attempts to quell them spread from New York to Los Angeles and many states in between, President Joe Biden finds himself caught in a series of political and diplomatic crosscurrents without an easy solution.
I just want to point out the latter has been a narrative for decades and “younger voters” just keep getting older with it. It’s also completely hypothetical because listening to anyone younger than Boomers hasn’t been tried.
I’m in my 40s, I vote reliably, I voted for Biden in 2020 to give him a chance. As long as Biden is continuing to ship weapons to Israel I won’t be voting for him again.
Taking the money out of politics would go a long way to neutering the pro-Israel lobby, the problem is there’s too much money interested in keeping things the way they are.

As long as the Israel lobby is pumping millions into the political system and you aren’t, yes, nobody is going to listen to you.

The game is over. There’s nothing to be done about it.
