Thank you for this clear and powerful statement. I am neither Muslim nor young. I am an 80 year-old white male who has always voted Democratic, with one exception: I did not vote for Hubert Humphrey in 1968 after the debacle of the Chicago Democratic Party convention and the failure to respect the wishes of the people for an end to the American War in Vietnam. Now you have explained for all why I will not vote for Joe Biden. The Democratic Party voters do not support the genocidal war that Bide and Blinken have embraced. If the party does not respect our demand for a cease fire and an end to the supplying of bombs to kill civilians, they will deserve their fate.

I've been wating for people younger than I am to put such extreme pressure on the Dem machine that they will select another viable candidate; but of course that needs to happen now! As a pundit said, Biden does not have the advantage of his incumbency and his only electoral strength is to count on legitimate fear of facism. I feel manipulated by that. In order to vote for him, I will go to the polls nauseated. For me, his inability to respond with moral clarity re:Gaza is all about entrenched cognitive dissonance. Thank you Hamilton. We need your voice.
