When you do something right, it makes headlines for an hour. When something bad happens, the "liberal" news spends months talking about the Biden administration is failing while somehow never talking about the root cause.
To be fair, the problem currently is a terrorist attack has been responded to with genocide and that's still ongoing.
That shouldn't be out of the news cycle, or even the top story spot.
Anything to pressure the president to actually take action to hault a genocide is worth doing. The threat he might lose an election due to low turn out is real. He can change that before November but the longer he fails to take action, the fewer voters will be willing to look past his delay and inaction.
I agree in theory. But here's the problem. We need to pressure the public first. Otherwise it's a lose-lose for Biden. We need the public to demand it like they demanded Ukraine support. Not just from the activists and progressives, but from the centrists and low-information voters. If you don't do that, then his best bet is to keep supporting Israel like it's a surrogate country.
Who's we and who's the public? We are the public. The public is reasonably split on Ukraine funding as they are on Israel being a genocide. Just along different lines.
No one agrees on any of this and that's part of the problem.
"We" is the people who view the situation as genocide. The public is the majority, specifically centrists/moderates/low information voters. Ukraine had overwhelming support from from "the public". That's who you have to convince.
And yes, I agree that is part of the problem.
I would say currently the majority does agree that Israel is engaging in genocide or near genocide behavior at this point, at least in the US. The actions of Israel are doing amazing work of convincing people at the very least.
