      The uncommitted movement got 100K votes Michigan, and within days the Biden administration started a complete 180 on Israel. It’s more than a few Twitter users and he clearly cares very deeply.

      You don’t think that realizing he was pissing off his base, during an election year, has any impact on his choices?

        Considering those people are not going to vote Trump over this, or probably any issue, I don’t think he cares, no.

          You say that but I think there’s a sizable number that already are voting for Trump

          It’s not about people changing their minds. Centrists don’t really exist. It’s about motivating people to actually fucking vote. When people vote, Dems win. When Dems are unpopular, people don’t vote and Rs win because they vote no matter what.

            No, we’re all happily voting 3rd party. Legit none of us stay home.

            Edit: Seriously downvote all you want, I’m just letting you genojoe does not win if that’s who you decide to run in the end. Your move, DNC.

      Certainly not, but he definitely cares about the 100,000 people that voted uncommitted in Michigan and the littany of polls that show a majority of Democratic and young voters not supporting current US foreign policy.
