       I'm seeing a very odd narrative by US Democrats when it comes to Biden.They're telling each other "Yes, Biden is pro-Genocide, but Trump would be worse." and then wondering why they're losing numbers.Instead, they could look at the data and bring a reality-first approach.There's a serious humanitarian crisis in Gaza, but there's no genocide.That would be both intellectually honest and it would isolate the fringe elements, as well as disarm the Republicans who are "pro-Israel".But they're rather capitulate to the extremists and lose their support anyway.

       @serge Maybe I am wrong, since I see it from outside, but I think a part of the problem is in Biden's team itself.Biden is actually acting in a very balanced way in the Middle East's conflict, but maybe trying to keep everyone at home happy, they are losing their capacity to comunicate what they are doing in Israel. Their policies are consistent, but their message isn't.

       @kjr @serge IMO the policy isn't consistent either. There seems to be huge struggles among different factions in the State Department as well as among the campaign staff, and the constant need to appease the different sides has lead to a lot of flipflopping - not just in words but even in actions. I even have heard the British foreign ministry complaining about the lack of predictability in Biden's approach.
