There are the only mentions of Gaza:

Voters think Biden is too liberal. The Biden administration has worried about shoring up its left flank, particularly since the war in Gaza. But the Times-Siena poll found that while Biden is losing only 2 percent of his “very liberal” voters from 2020 to Trump, he is losing 16 percent of his supporters who described themselves as moderate and conservative.

. . .

In the Times-Siena poll, 21 percent of voters say the economy will drive their vote, while 7 percent say inflation is their top issue. By contrast, immigration is the top issue for 12 percent of voters, abortion is the top issue for 11 percent, the war between Israelis and Palestinians is the top issue for 2 percent and crime is the top issue for fewer than 1 percent.

    this is the kind of self-debasement it takes to ride a national media meal ticket.

    when Ezra Klein is mentioned I always think of the obsequious interview he did with Obama in 2017. nobody is in the tank harder than this revolting little worm.

      He supported the Iraq War, which should always be mentioned when discussing his ideas, which are themselves reheated MSNBC nonsense.

      His shtick when he first got started was as the good boy who cared about policy and not just the horse race. He was auditioning to be the guy who’d relay excuses like “but the parliamentarian” or to claim that a new jerkoff regulatory tweak was actually sweeping change, and he’s been duly rewarded ever since.

      Still very funny that he staked out the first (only?) “Biden can and should be replaced” take from a high profile/mainstream lib pundit, only for Biden, days later, to hold court at the State of the Union, and whip everyone in line.
