    Biden’s base is people who are almost as old as the Israel/Palestine conflict. They are not people who are young enough to care about this.

      Lol. If that’s the level of political analysis Biden is gaming on, then he’s gonna fail just like Hilary.

      The name of the game is knowing your base and getting high voter turnout.

      The Republicans understand this. I hope the Democrats don’t forget it like they did in 2016.

        Young people don’t vote and young people aren’t what helped biden win last time. They can continue not to vote and it won’t hurt biden.

          Biden had historical turnout from young people. I think it was more based on Trump hate but still they helped. But you’re right, they’re a notoriously unreliable voting base.

            Is that true? I thought they didn’t end up showing up even though everyone thought they were. Maybe I a disillusioned by them not showing up for Bernie vs Biden in the last primary.
