The White House, in a reflection of their public confidence (hubris?) regarding the politics of Biden’s positioning on Israel, arranged a call with Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.).
Fetterman, who has delighted in trolling left-wing critics by resolutely standing with Israel since Oct. 7, told me young voters should consider the implications of enabling a candidate who would likely given Netanyahu even more of a free hand.
“If you sit this out, or throw your vote away, you now are effectively empowering Bibi, and you’re definitely going to be empowering Trump,” he said.
.....
We can set this up very directly: it’s us versus them — and us is just voting for us, and them means voting for a third-party or Trump,” as one Biden official put it to me.
In the short term, that means seizing on any chance to complicate the ballot access of the third-party candidates and attempting to discredit their motives or at least highlight the less savory aspects of their character.
...
Later this year, Biden officials hope to dispatch trusted progressive surrogates to warn against a third-party flirtation — hope you like the Midwest in fall, Senator Sanders! — and plan to bombard the internet with the same message on digital ads even sooner.
One idea: Enlist a series of younger voters who admit to being tempted by a third-party hopeful but explain they’re backing Biden because any other choice ensures Trump’s election.

“If you sit this out, or throw your vote away, you now are effectively empowering Bibi"
Ok? Isn't Joe empowering Bibi now (and, in the hypothetical he wins the election, in the foreseeable future)? Do these assholes hear themselves?
Fetterman, who absolutely supports the genocide, warns that electing trump would give absolute support to the genocide? And that's why he's anti-trump? What?
I think he means that libs will still believe that Trump will make things worse, not that it's true, but this might be a certified Stroke Moment™.
Yeah but Trump will do it in a way that doesn’t put on airs that he’s worried about innocent Gazans dying. And we all know democracy dies in the lack of performative hand-wringing.
I don't want to disempower Bibi, I want a one state solution that doesn't involve Israel.
Well yeah, I dont take Fetterman seriously anyway, it's just more of the same Trump fearmongering
Liberals have to maintain that they're the good guys, always
So that means Trump would do something worse than what Biden is literally currently doing
What that imagined evil he'll perpetrate is, I'm never told
Maybe they're implying he'd nuke Gaza
Maybe they're implying he'd send in American troops
We don't know
DC land hasn't felt the burn yet. They are still too comfortable and think they can just toss a token and get away with it in November.
I believe the word Genocide Joe used was "unconditional". How can Bibi get any more empowered than that?
