A majority of Democrat voters in the US believe that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, a new poll conducted by Zeteo and Data For Progress has found. The poll interviewed 1,265 voters between 26 and 29 April, and found that 56 per cent of Democrat respondents hold this view, despite denials from President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
Nationwide, four out of ten are said to believe that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, findings which place millions of American voters, and a majority of Democrats, at odds with members of the US Congress, most of whom have given full backing to Israelâs onslaught on the besieged enclave. Just under 35,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed since 7 October, in a campaign that many believe is a âtext book case of genocideâ.
A stark disparity is also found between US voters and their representatives on the question of a ceasefire. The survey showed that 70 per cent of voters support a permanent ceasefire and de-escalation of violence in Gaza, with 83 per cent of Democrats and 65 per cent of independents backing this stance. Among Republicans, 56 per cent support a permanent ceasefire.
With only 11 per cent of lawmakers supporting a ceasefire, the gap between US public opinion and members of Congress is likely to fuel further questions over the influence of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) on US democracy. The outsized role of AIPAC has become a major talking point and many have called for the anti-Palestinian group to be registered as a foreign agent. (...)
âGettysburg, what an unbelievable battle that was. The Battle of Gettysburg,â the former president said at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday. âWhat an unbelievable â I mean, it was so much and so interesting, and so vicious and horrible, and so beautiful in so many different ways.â
âGettysburg. Wow. I go to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, to look and to watch. And the statement of Robert E. Lee â whoâs no longer in favor, did you ever notice that? No longer in favor â âNever fight uphill, me boys, never fight uphill.â They were fighting uphill. He said, âWow, that was a big mistake.â He lost his great general, and they were fighting. âNever fight uphill, me boys!â But it was too late.â
...yeah, Joe must be quaking in his boots with the prospect of debating Trump.
It still boggles the mind that this nitwit who can't think on his feet and string together coherent sentences was our president.
Pick up a book a-hole, or get someone on your staff to provide you with some cliff notes about the place you are visiting so you will have some idea of what to talk about.
Reminds me of oral quizzes in high school where the person answering a question has no idea what they are talking about and are trying their best to bullsh*t their way through it.
Biden could not possibly have gotten that many votes. No way he beat Trump. The only explanation is massive fraud.
Biden is out of it. No way he could be coherent in a debate. The only explanation is he must be taking Adderall.
He is both a senile doddering old fool AND a strategic genius with his puppets to accomplish his every evil whim.
We all know that it was only true of one person in our lifetimes.
That's how he got through the SOTU. He was wired. Like a whole jar of Adderall.
Make them both pee in a cup before the debates.
You've even adopted Trump's fascination with pee. You are truly a loyal soldier.
Trump would just buy clean pee, and if anything was found it in, you'd blame the deep state and Soros. We should wring out Trump's diaper to ensure sourcing.
First Joe has to actually show up to debate Trump. As it stands now, I doubt he would. If he did show up, I have no doubt Trump will mop the floor with him.
I have no doubt that you would think trump mopped the floor with him, no matter what is said in the debate
