so when's Joe gonna cut Bibi loose, cause he risks losing Michigan over this at a minimum -- (link) - hollywood big shot Feb 23, 08:07 20
- And risk losing the Jewish vote (the part that votes Democratic at least?). Election-wise, it's a lose-lose for Biden. -- nm - ty97 Feb 23, 08:32 5
  - Problem is, he is on the precipice of losing the muslim vote - decline Feb 23, 08:36 2
    - Yes, it can be a Michigan problem for sure, I don't deny that. But what about the other 49 states? -- nm - ty97 Feb 23, 08:38 1
      - reality is only about 6 of those 49 states really matter and I'm not sure Biden can afford to lose even one of them -- nm - decline Feb 23, 08:53
  - you can support Israel without giving Bibi free reign to flatten Gaza indiscriminately. it hasn't been tried yet by this white house -- nm - hollywood big shot Feb 23, 08:33 1
    - From an election perspective only: do you have data to back this up? -- nm - ty97 Feb 23, 08:37
- I think the perspective is off that suggests that Biden can somehow force Israeli politics to bend to his will. He is clearly working behind the - pmb Feb 23, 08:26 3
  - On a Pod Save American ep this week they discussed this with journalist Mehdi Hasan who says Biden absolutely has the power to bend them to his will - decline Feb 23, 08:30 1

  - 1) Democratic voters feel that Joe needs to earn their votes rather than blindly support him (unlike the Cult of Trump) - Will Hunting Feb 23, 08:19 7
    - Yalp. I worry about young voters for shit like this. I feel a lot of them will throw it away on a 3rd party or not vote at all. - Turd Ferguson Feb 23, 08:24 4

      - Every voter that doesn't show up is one less vote for Biden in that scenario. - Will Hunting Feb 23, 08:29

- I've been thinking more than a bit about that article since I read it earlier in the week and DFL (which I had to look up) vs DNF - JD Feb 23, 08:20
- Maybe it's my mindset, but I ever quit a competition just to avoid a DFL, I'd carry that shame with me until the end of my days. - Will Hunting Feb 23, 07:49

  - and that's with no wrecks. had a few unscheduled tire replacements, but that's not been bad either. if it was a $40k car, you'd get to $775/month. -- nm - colin Feb 23, 07:28 2
    - i think when our car dies we might not buy a new one. we might rent for weekend stuff and use uber/taxis in town. we also use transit so - Andie Feb 23, 07:35 1
