'Abandon Biden' protesters to descend on star-studded Radio City fundraiser

The “Abandon Biden” campaign is calling for protesters to descend upon President Biden’s star-studded fundraising event Thursday at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

The group, which formed to protest Biden’s “reluctance to call for a ceasefire in Gaza,” told its supporters that the protest will consist of a rally and a march and is a “critical call to action” that is “set against the backdrop” of the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.

The New York Democratic primary takes place on Apr. 2, and the group also called on voters to “leave-it-blank” while voting.

“Leaving the ballot blank is meant to protest Biden, auguring his defeat in the November 5th general presidential election,” the group said in its release.

A comment from a spokesman indicated it'll be business as usual for them if Trump gets in. So they think.

And, most of them come from affluent families so they probably will be fine, in the short term.

By the time they realize that losing our democracy was a bad idea it will be too late.

The alternative is the guy who wants to be a dictator on day one, and you won't get your ceasefire. Trump will let Isreal mow down Gaza. So this won't help things.

BlueAnon.

The term is meant to describe those who actively work against Biden and Democrats because the think Biden can just snap his fingers and fix Gaza. These same people show no criticism what so ever for Hamas and in some cases actively support Hamas.

First of all President Biden is not the president of Isreal. He can't stop Netanyahu who is from doing what Netanyahu is hell bent on doing.

They aren't helping the people of Gaza with their actions, but they might be helping Trump. A man who has actually had his representatives suggest Muslims in the U.S. be put in internment camps. Do they really believe a man who associates himself with those kind of statements is going to help a foreign country that is 99 percent Muslim. The only person Donny helps is Donny, well maybe his best buddy Vlad to.

As far as another Democratic challenger can they even name one who has as much support within our party, than him. One who could get a campaign up and running in time for the November election?

If they want to protest about Gaza do it in front of the Isreali embassy, or protest Netanyahu, but not President Biden.

The alternative? A guy who wants to be a fascist dictator on day 1, who will tell America's allies to go fuck themselves. Then there won't be a Gaza to protect. So go vote like your life depends on it.
