On the issue of Gaza, Biden is dramatically out of touch with the voters he needs to win re-election. If he will not be moved by morality to stop his support of this war, he should be moved by vulgar self-interest. Gaza is not a distant foreign conflict: it is an urgent moral emergency for large swaths of voters. Biden will lose those voters – and may indeed lose the election – if he does not cease his support of these atrocities.
Biden has that rare opportunity in politics: to help the country, and himself, by doing the right thing. But he must do so now. Both the Palestinian people and his own election prospects are running out of time.
How do you change that system? Are there any particular groups you can think of who are actively working against those changes?
You’re not suggesting we vote for people who are opposed to and working against non-FPTP systems, as a vehicle to enact a non-FPTP system, right? Cause that would be pretty silly. :P
