It’s been bad enough that my Mom, SO, and best friend have all said they’re worried about me wearing my Star of David necklace out in public.

After Oct 7th I dusted off my star of David and started wearing it. I'm a atheist Jew.

Macklemore just released a song with the line
"The blood is on your hands, Biden, we can see it all/And **** no, I’m not votin’ for you in the fall"
I'm curious how widespread this ideology is. It seems more and more like the Pro-Palestine vote is tying Biden directly to their perceived events of the middle east and encouraging sitting out this election. Although recent polls have shown that only a small number of students at the campus care about the Israel/Hamas protests, the younger vote is still highly Pro-Palestine and I'm curious about what their thoughts on Biden's responsibility for the push by Israel into Rafah. Perhaps their vote could still be a significant detriment to Biden as he tries to please both parts of his party.

I think lots of young people on the left are preparing to simply not vote, from what I've seen in various social circles.

President Joe Biden has condemned antisemitism on college campuses today at during the Days of Remembrance for the 6 million Jews killed in the Holocaust. I'm glad he is critical of this, though I am disheartened that it has increased since the October 7 attacks, as well as the fact that antisemitism exists at all.
My question is: Will Biden's disapproval of antisemitism have an effect on the electorate?

Maybe? IMO he’s been straddling the fence on it for way too long. I think the meaningful impact to voters on both sides is kind of gone since this has been going on for so long with the White House silent. Whatever their impressions are, they are most likely not changing.

Not to be contrarian, just a moderate independent who has Progressive views (well, at least reasonably non-bigoted ones) but it’s all branding at this point. There’s nothing Progressive about what’s been going on. I would even suggest they should be called the Depressive left. There is far too much extremely thinly-veiled hate to call any of their views Progress.

I do think that there are large percentages on the right that are using the term "antisemitism" incorrectly in order to try to silence criticism of Israel.
On one hand, misusing the term "antisemitism" in this way is dishonest and underhanded. On the other hand, the left has been misusing all of the other terms of bigotry for the last 10 years, in order to silence their critics. Now that the shoe is on the other foot, they seem to be quite upset by it.

This is about as well and concisely put as I've seen it summarized. I would only add that The same is true on the other side. The Right has been dancing down the sidelines with veiled language and now the other side is trying, with a straight face, to claim that there's absolutely nothing wrong with certain phrases that have, historically, been associated with killing Jews.

These protests are the spiritual descendants of Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter. However, hate against bankers and police does not compare to latent, implied hate against a specific people group. The costs for questionable speech and possibly blocking Jewish students from educational access will come at a much higher price for those who do it and for the universities and politicians that allow it.
There's a reason the TikTok ban sailed through and the House of Representatives passed a bill that will likely get shot down even by Conservative justices for impeding free speech: the other side of these protests are strong and remember what passivity cost them.

It’s hard to take this seriously when Joe:
A) Called out the WSJ article about Dearborn’s anti-American mindset, despite a few weeks later having to denounce their chants of “Death to America”
B) Visiting Dearborn to secure the more radical progressives in the democratic party’s vote.

Joe is either speaking out of both sides of his mouth with this, or just too incompetent to realize this situation is largely his own fault
"Where is all this antisemitism coming from?"
Asks the same president who has allowed billions of dollars to flow into Iran through surreptitious cargo planes of cash, additional payments to Iran, and relaxed sanctions
Funny how when you give billions of dollars to a nation that has a foundational policy of exterminating Israel results in them using those assets to physically and psychologically attack it.

My biggest concern with Biden is that many of his donors and those on his team are sympathetic to the violent elements in Palestine. It doesn't really matter what Biden believes now, it already seems like he's waffled in a way he didn't a few years ago. I think his team is giving him biased, antisemitic analysis tainted by their ideology.
