Largely because this conflict with Biden is unnecessary. Asking Biden to be less condoning of genocide isn’t a huge ask for an election year. But the resistance to this is causing collateral damage–as expected.
First: Even his supporters and voters start to feel shame. This hurts the Democratic Party electorally.
Second: Every person running for office as a Democrat now has to contend with a divisive issue. Every challenger has a free talking point and wedge issue.
Remove Trump from the equation–just for the perspective, imagine he is in jail, disqualified, or dead or whatever. So say Trump croaks right now: it is very clear Biden’s policy towards Israel is objectively damaging as an electoral strategy for him and his party.
So why should I vote for my Democratic representative who is staunchly backing Biden and Israel? I got a Senate race too this year. These are unnecessary questions and concerns to have in the air when majorities are so slim and fragile. Those races primaries are in August, and I don’t know what will be left of this issue, or Gaza, by then.
