The leaders of progressive groups focused on mobilizing young voters are warning President Joe Biden that his handling of the war in Gaza could depress turnout in a demographic that’s already notoriously difficult to energize on Election Day.
"We write to you to issue a very stark and unmistakable warning: you and your Administration’s stance on Gaza risks millions of young voters staying home or voting third party next year.
“We mobilized the record youth turnout in 2020 that pushed your ticket over the finish line... Many of us worked to provide the critical source of support for Democrats in the 2022 midterm elections that prevented the Red Wave.
"Young people are a cornerstone of a winning Democratic coalition, and the vast majority of young people in this country are rightfully horrified by the atrocities committed with our tax dollars, with your support, and our nation’s military backing.
“We did not spend hours upon hours knocking doors and making calls to turn out the vote so that you could support indiscriminate slaughter of civilians and violations of international law. Your legacy hangs in the balance.”

It appears that the bourgeoisie is 100% behind Israel. I have not heard of a single corporation that even bothers to both sides like they did with BLM.
That's because black people are consumers and thus people but Palestinians don't buy McDonald's so they can't (by the amerikkkan definition) be people
It's the "colorblind" (but not really) capitalist version of
It’s not illegal to BDS businesses that don’t stand with BLM (even if The support is pointless and performative). It’s illegal to BDS pro-Israel companies because their support directly upholds the occupation. Liberals only want you to vooote with your wallet when it doesn’t do anything. So basically they have nothing to worry about.
