(870 posts)Hubert Humphrey lost in 1968 because he supported the war in Vietnam. So we got Nixon. A horrible result. Well, here we are again folks. Biden may lose the election because he supports Israeli genocide in Gaza. Hopefully we won't have a rerun of 1968. The obvious solution is to stop supporting the right wing Israeli government's genocide in Gaza.
Yes the Republicans are evil, etc. etc. etc. and must not be allowed to win in November. But attacking young people's desire to support the Palestinians is a losing strategy. I heard the same crap in 1967/68 - the Vietcong were communists, they must be defeated to stop the spread of communism, blah blah blah.
It's not young people that are the problem. It's Biden's policy that is the problem. He can change the policy.
