Same energy as "Look how big Trump's rallies are! There's no way he could lose!"
Nice dodge there chief. I'm guessing either you're not American or you don't follow our politics too closely. And to be clear, I'm not a Trump fan. I don't even consider myself a Democrat because I'm too far to the left to be on board with a lot of them.
How is it a dodge to point out that large protests do not necessarily signal majority support? Sorry that elementary-school level differentiation between "Looks bigger" and "Is bigger" is lost on you.
I'm an American and I follow politics very closely.
It was a dodge not answering whether you're American. Where the hell are you getting your news if you don't believe this is the main reason Biden is losing to Trump in a lot of states? The polls are pretty clear. And seeing some of the top Democrats flip (Pelosi was one I believe) on the Israel protests and/or Gaza is evidence enough for me.
