Can you have Ben Rhodes on for another perspective? I appreciate what you guys do but a lot of progressives do listen to your network and I’m afraid you may be underestimating the electoral liability of the war in Gaza. Yes it’s Inflation , yes it’s economic pessimism but also…war, money for war, money for a war a lot of Americans across the political spectrum see as shortsighted; many see it either as morally questionable or as lost opportunity cost.

I’m not sure the war ranks as the top on anybody’s list except for a few people. In the Harvard Youth Poll people 18-29 ranked the war 13th amongst their concerns.

Are the people you know voting for Trump then? I’m sincerely curious what their calculus is?

My 33 year old kid and friends are planning on voting for "Gaza" in the DC primary as a protest vote.
