There is a lot of speculation among pundits about how the Israel-Hamas War will affect the 2024 presidential election. I can’t speak for others, but nothing that President Joe Biden does regarding the conflict will change the vote I plan to cast for him in November.
And that’s sort of the problem. Support of Israel and a willingness to kill Arab Muslims has been a bipartisan American policy for generations now. Biden may have sent a huge amount of military aid to Israel recently, but it’s just one more pile on top of a mountain we have built over decades. Getting rid of Biden will not change that. The great ship of state can’t corner for shit.
For the fantasy of a challenger to be viable, there would have to be a Democratic politician with enough personal popularity to challenge a sitting president, who was different enough from Biden policywise to make it worth a change, that had a mandate from the public to overturn long-term foreign policy, and who was literally ready to go right now to make it on the ballot for the primary.
So, since those are the two possibilities, and neither candidate is going to significantly change the way American treats Israel or Hamas, there is no reason to base a vote on the conflict. Grim and awful as the whole matter is, our vote for president is simply not likely to improve the situation either way.
