In a letter published Wednesday on Medium, an anonymous group of Biden’s campaign staffers demanded the president call for a ceasefire in Gaza, citing concerns that not shifting his policy on the issue could hurt his 2024 chances.


“Biden for President staff have seen volunteers quit in droves, and people who have voted blue for decades feel uncertain about doing so for the first time ever, because of this conflict,” the Medium letter read.

“It is not enough to merely be the alternative to Donald Trump,” the campaigners continued. “The campaign has to shift the feeling in the pits of voters’ stomachs, the same feeling that weighs on us every day as we fight for your reelection. The only way to do that is to call for a ceasefire.”

    At this point I’m convinced business majors shouldn’t even be leading businesses, let alone countries. Society suffers from how they’ve determined to extract the maximum profits from things.

      It’s specifically the McKinsey kids.

      Ivy Leaguers straight out of school that get paid millions for “hot takes” like companies should pay CEOs more and that as a huge coincidence every company needs to downsize.

      That’s just American countries.

      They also do work overseas like Saudi Arabia.

      It’s what blew up Pete Butteigeigs camoaign, people started talking about how he wasn’t just a former McKinsey kid, he did the real shady shit overseas. It made it really hard for him to pretend to be a progressive.
