| ‘Can't Take My Vote For Granted': Longtime-Dem Alan Dershowitz Expands On Why He Might Not Pull Lever For Biden |
| 2024-04-03 |
| [Daily Caller] Noted attorney Alan Dershowitz expanded on why he might not vote for President Joe Biden in the November election on Tuesday, saying how the Democratic leader handles the Israel-Hamas war will be a determining factor. The Biden administration abstained in the UN Security Council, which allowed a resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza to pass on March 25. Dershowitz, who said he has voted for a Democrat in every presidential election since 1960, warned that the Biden campaign’s effort to win the battleground state of Florida could fall short because of its high Jewish population who are concerned about how the administration is addressing the Israel-Hamas war. "You’re not going to win Florida if you don’t support Israel," Dershowitz said during his podcast, which was slated to discuss the expansion of a gag order on former President Donald Trump imposed by New York judge Juan Merchan that drew criticism from legal experts. "If you think you’re gonna lose Michigan because of 200,000 or so Muslims or Arabs, that’s nothing compared to what’s gonna happen in Florida, where there’s so many pro-Israel voters, so many Jewish voters, indeed, so many Israeli voters." |

| #12 Like most people, irish rage boy, he knows a great deal about his areas of expertise, and unthinkingly accepts the common assumptions of his milieu about everything else. |

| #10 The left isn't interested in any practical compromises. They are about jamming their vile agenda down everyone's throat. Their idea of nirvana would be every 14 year old female in the country being raped by a gimmegrant and then having a compulsory abortion. |

| #9 she admitted abortion rights was now her single issue Someone should set up a fund that people like Mrs. Bobby could donate to. It would buy bus/airplane tickets to unlimited-abortion states for people who can’t get them at home. This avoids fighting unwinnable political battles at home, while ensuring that those who want abortions are able to get them. And has the added benefit of a “tourism” income stream for states rapidly losing income-earning residents, not to mention employment for people to check that the applicants are actually physically pregnant, not just identifying as pregnant to get a free trip. |

| #8 it takes a lot to get many lifetime Democrats to change Israel is one thing but I think crime and borders are actually going to bring more in |

| #7 Dersh has a good racket going. He needs to thread the waters of self marketing. I suspect Puff’s “ ongoing investigation” is a better example of what happens when a Driver tries to leave the plantation. |

| #6 The good professor said the same thing about President Obama and for the same reason. But he couldn’t do it. He couldn’t even not vote. Not to mention that all those pro-Israel voters in Florida are voting with the Republican majority in Florida, so their vote won’t change anything. |

| #4 saying how the Democratic leader handles the Israel-Hamas war will be a determining factor. My wife said, years ago, that single-issue voters were stoopid. A few weeks ago, she admitted abortion rights was now her single issue. I reminded her of her earlier statement, for which I am still paying in ways very subtle. |

| #3 Dershowitz, who said he has voted for a Democrat in every presidential election since 1960 But he's gonna switch his vote this time around? I like Dershowitz but I'm not buying this one. |

| #2 /\ Exactly correct. It's got nothing to do with the man Biden, but everything to do with the party. |

| #1 I'm sure the Party is worried. You'll still vote for them whether you sit it out or not. That's how the game now works. It's all kabuki theater to keep the proles sedated. |
