My last 6 posts were removed and I was called a Russian troll for daring to suggest that Biden’s support of the Palestinian genocide is going to cost him the election. I’ve given up on commenting and will stick to lurking going forward. As a Bernie supporter who migrated to Portland, OR after Trump won the election in 2016, it feels incredibly weird to be called an Alt-Right or Russian agitator simply for pointing out flaws in the current administration.
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.
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.

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.

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?
