    Every poll shows it’s young people.

    Are you calling yourself “young people” then? Your own poll shows 43% of Millennials believe genocide is being committed.

      I’m saying they’ve been “educated” by Tiktok, AKA brainwashed.

      Nationally, 48 percent of U.S. Millennial and Gen Z could not name a single one of the more than 40,000 concentration camps or ghettos established during World War II. This number is reflected in individual state outcomes, with an astounding 60 percent of respondents in Texas, 58 percent in New York, and 57 percent in South Carolina, unable to name a single camp or ghetto.

      56 percent of U.S. Millennial and Gen Z were unable to identify Auschwitz-Birkenau, and there was virtually no awareness of concentration camps and ghettos overall. Only six percent of respondents are familiar with the infamous Dachau camp, while awareness of Bergen-Belsen (three percent), Buchenwald (one percent) and Treblinka (one percent) is virtually nonexistent.

      When asked how many Jews were killed during the Holocaust, 63 percent of Millennials and Gen Z did not know six million Jews were murdered.

      The state-by-state analysis yielded a particularly disquieting finding that nearly 20 percent of Millennials and Gen Z in New York feel the Jews caused the Holocaust.


      A fifth of Americans ages 18-29 believe the Holocaust was a myth, according to a new poll from The Economist/YouGov.

        I’m not about to unravel what your deal is here.

        Biden needs these votes to win the 2024 general election. You can mock them all you like but that isn’t going to make them show up at the ballot box. If you don’t want Trump to win you’d better hope he stops sending weapons to Israel.

          I’m aware.

          There are people who are going to be dumb about this and stay home or vote third party. Thing is there’s nothing anyone will say or do that will change their minds one way or another. I know because I voted for Jill Stein in 2016, in Wisconsin. Some have to make the mistake first hand to know it was wrong. It is what it is.

          Upshot is I suspect major operations will be wrapped up by late spring. If so Gaza will be a distant memory to most voters in November.

          Biden had an 81,000 vote margin in the key electoral college states to work with in 2020. Hopefully he can take the hit this Gaza situation will bring.

          If he can’t, so be it. Life will just get worse faster but at least I’ll get to have a little bit of schadenfreude on the way down watching the Tiktokd left live the meme.

            I see that meme and I think moderates when they cry that their pro-corporate, strike blocking, genocide supporting trash candidate who refuses to compromise with leftists or progressives loses to Donald Trump.

            You look at 2016 and you feel guilty for what you did. I look at 2016 and thought “surely moderates will see the error of their ways and understand they can’t win elections without us.”

            Nope. Despite moderates being the majority voting bloc they convinced themselves and a good deal of progressives that it was our fault. It’s complete horse shit.

              genocide supporting trash candidate who refuses to compromise

              …with people who chant from the river to the sea yet cry genocide at every turn without a hint of Irony.

              It’s complete horse shit

              I take solace in the fact there’s not a damn thing you’re going to do that will change a thing.
