(5,410 posts)were roughly equal to his margin of victory in this state in 2020...
Now their leaders are saying 'I won't vote for Joe Biden, and you shouldn't either'
It does not amount to 'international policy winning or losing elections' nationwide,
but it is a SERIOUS problem for Joe Biden in Michigan--- part of 'the blue wall'...
Yes, he could still win the election without Michigan, but that would make it much more difficult---
and sundry other states from his 2020 electoral vote margin are also in trouble
(Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, at the least)
In my opinion, President Biden should press Israel to STOP THE BOMBING---
not a 'ceasefire', but just stop the damn bombing! (and allow more humanitarian assistance into Gaza)
I HATE this damned war, it is an intrusion into our election--- and it isn't even our goddamned war!!
(Uh, Mondale wasn't a presidential candidate during the Vietnam war---
perhaps you meant Vice President Humphrey in 1968, who belatedly made pro-peace statements during that campaign?
They were both from Minnesota, so I presume you misspoke...)
