Republicans are using a narrative of chaos and āphilosophical divisions on Israelā among Democrats to sink Bidenās campaign
Republicans have identified recent college protests against Israelās war in Gaza as the core of an election campaign narrative of chaos that they hope can be used to sink Joe Bidenās presidency.
The approach was bluntly crystallised by Tom Cotton, the Republican senator Arkansas, in a recent television interview when he mocked the encampments that have sprung up in recent weeks as ālittle Gazasā and lambasted the president for a perceived failure to unequivocally denounce instances of antisemitism.
That would be every point since the party went all in on neoliberalism in 1992. The leadership and its lickspittles are still convinced that the policy stances, strategies and tactics that worked back then (including acting like the increasingly rare āindependent centristā is 100% of persuadable voters) are perfect, so everyone who disagrees in either direction must be wrong with malicious intent.
This is exactly rightā¦ They keep chasing an ever shrinking ācenterā, moving further and further to the right to try and scrape a few soft Rs over to their side, while ignoring basically the majority of the next 2 generations (progressives)ā¦ Or worse, spitting in our faces and telling us to shut up and take it. If theyād just embrace progressives theyād still get all those centrist liberal votes (those are the people telling us to vote blue no matter who after all) AND theyād get most of the next generationsā¦ The Republican party would be gone in 3 generationsā¦ But of course theyād have to give up their cushy retirement gigs giving speeches to their corporate sugar daddies
