An election forecast that's 50-50 is not "giving up."

It's beyond the Arab American vote. It's also the youth vote

When the George Floyd uprising happened, it was the largest civil rights protest in human history. Over 70 nations held demonstrations. Where I was, the Students for Justice and Peace in Palestine organized most of the protests. Black-Palestinian solidarity has an extremely long history. So does Irish-Palestinian and Palestinian-Native American solidarity. They've been engaged in building a worldwide network of solidarity with oppressed people for decades now. Almost every George Floyd protest included chants about freeing Palestine and it's shocking how little coverage this got

I think people continue to radically underestimate how much youth, Black, and other minorities will continue to follow the lead of Palestinian organizers. And the Democratic party needs to take it seriously if they want to win again

But they can’t take it seriously. Going against Israel is an election loser in just about every district, and definitely at the level of the Senate in the presidency. The Lobby is just way too powerful
