The message is he'll lose the election if he doesn't change his stance. So if he has received it and chose to ignore it then why is he running. Either he doesn't believe the threat or he doesn't want to win.
The message is that he's pissed off a huge portion of his base, and they don't approve of what he's doing.
There's obviously more work to be done advocating for change. And it can be done under Biden, or under Trump. Which would you prefer?
No that's not the message, the message is if he doesn't listen to the people he won't win the election. It's a scary precedent to set that if the Democratic party doesn't listen to +70% of it's people and he still gets elected simply because the other side is worse when would they listen to their voters? The other side is always worse at least since I've been following politics(since Bill Clinton). They always use that to excuse their inaction because they think voters will be too afraid of the opposition to question it. This is a clear message and for the reason to stop a genocide. If now is not a time to take a stand idk when will be.
I mean, it pretty clearly is.
You believe what you want to then.
I'll believe what people are actually saying, and what's actually happening.
I'd welcome you to join me in that!
