Young voters today are overwhelmingly pro-Palestine, and even the ones who remain neutral are still self-interested enough to say hell no to all the tax dollars being diverted toward a foreign government.

Just curious, but what are you basing this on?

According to the May Harris poll, Israel (over Hamas) has a 54%-46% advantage in support amongst poll respondents 18-24.  This grows to 65%-35% for 25-34. 

I'll add that only 5% of those polled considered this their top issue, against 65% that said the economy. 

I think you have a misread on the importance of that one.

I had high hopes for Hakeem Jefferies but so far he’s been a wet noodle. I’m really frustrated with the entire party. I can’t believe with everything that’s going on with this administration that Democrats have so far been completely unable to capitalize on it. It’s so frustrating

But opinion polls suggest support for Israel among the American public is dwindling.

A Gallup survey taken in March this year found only 46% of Americans expressed support for Israel (the lowest level in 25 years of Gallup's annual tracking) while 33% now said they sympathised with the Palestinians - the highest ever reading of that measure. Other polls have found similar results.

Surveys - with all their limitations - suggest the swing is largely among Democrats and the young, although not exclusively. Between 2022 and 2025, the Pew Research Center found that the proportion of Republicans who said they had unfavourable views of Israel rose from 27% to 37% (younger Republicans, aged under 49, drove most of that change).

I'd be interested to see that Harris poll. I'm not super familiar with them but I seem to recall them having a right-of-center bias. Did they really ask "Do you support Hamas over Israel" because that type of framing feels a bit like editorializing. "Do you support the Taliban over the Coalition of the Willing?"

I mean, he didn't have to quit.

He probably should not have, but this was the height of MeToo's political might.

“Moderate” means “I only want to expel all minorities from the country, not kill them.” And “independent” means “I once voted for a Dem for a local office because he was an old friend of mine.” Those labels are lies.

And independents that are actually independent are dumb as fuck and don't know shit about fuck.  I saw an NYT article about the huge number of independents that don't know what's going on, currently.
