Biden’s 2020 swing states wins swinging right in ‘24

 

 

Hillary lost 30 of 50 states in 2016 even tho she whupped Trump by 2.9 million votes. Chalk up her loss to American’s Byzantine Electoral College.

 

 

In ’20, Biden clawed back 5 Trump states to win with his huge 7.1 million vote margin: WI-MI-PA-GA-AZ

 

 

This Nov. 5, he’ll likely need that an even bigger margin if he hopes to fend off Trump again. But polling all year has not looked good for Biden to hang on to those critical swing states.

Here’s the latest numbers casting gloom over Biden’s campaign hopes.

 

GA Trump +6

AZ Trump +5

MI Trump +4

PA Trump +4

MI Trump +3 

Biden’s reelection chances are fading, largely due to his enabling of Israel’s genocidal ethnic cleansing of 2,300,000 Palestinians in Gaza. Over 45 million of Biden’s 81 million voters want Biden to stop weaponizing Israel’s genocide. How many millions will abandon him November 5 is impossible to determine, but likely millions will.

 

His best chance to retain the presidency may be to pivot to peace. He can end the genocide by cutting off the vast US arsenal of genocide fueling Gaza’s utter destruction. If he does, might be possible those swing states swinging right will detour to support Biden’s pivot to peace.

 

Biden’s America is the only country that can prolong Israel’s genocide and the only country that can curtail it. President Biden has a choice. For 207 days he’s taken the road to genocide for Palestinians in Gaza, infamy for the United States, and a grotesque historical legacy for Joseph R. Biden Jr. Does he know what time it is? Does he care?

I’m both thrilled and encouraged by the thousands of protesters disrupting the educational process at over a hundred universities and most of President Biden’s public events. They may not be in the classroom, but they are learning history first hand; indeed, may be making history. It would be wonderful if their anti-genocide protests spread to all 6,000 US colleges and universities. That might influence President Biden to pursue peace, not genocide in Gaza.

They bring to mind the legion of mostly young people who engaged in non-violent civil disobedience to end the Vietnam War and Jim Crow segregation 60 years ago. It’s easy for me to remember as I was one of them upon entering University of Chicago in 1963. Unlike the many today, I never risked arrest or expulsion from College. The only threat I faced was dodging projectiles hurled at the hundreds of thousands of us in New York City during the massive antiwar demonstration there April 7, 1967.

Approaching 80, my physical protest days are in the past. But I offer my voice to anyone willing to discuss, and publish my views in cyberspace every day among other peace activities.

The current Israeli genocide in Gaza, destroying life for 2,300,000 Palestinians there, is being funded by the US with tens of billions in weapons of genocidal death. President Biden proclaims his ‘lockstep support’ for Israel’s genocide and complements his weapons with endless vetoes of anti-genocide resolutions in the UN Security, preventing creation of a Palestinian state, acquiescing in Israel’s violent blocking of aid to starving, disease ridden Palestinians.

This is one of, if not the worst moral crime America has engaged in throughout its 248 year existence. That is why we who cannot participate directly must give our fervent moral support to these mostly young folks who will not be deterred by arrest or college expulsion. They are my heroes. They should be heroes to every American. Indeed, they may be the heroes who bring relief to Palestinians from Israeli genocide and eventually a Palestinian homeland.
