    You don’t need conspiracy theories to explain why people would use the only point of leverage America allows its average citizen to affect change to force Biden to not support a genocide. It’s a big deal. A lot of people just want to change his mind because they liked to imagine that if they lived during the holocaust and other bad events, they would do something. And this is basically the only thing that everyone who’s not rich enough to buy a politician can do to actually affect people in power. There’s some protests but that’s just to raise awareness for the issue.

    I don’t actually think that many people won’t vote for Biden if he changes course on this. Everyone who doesn’t like Biden for this issue specifically also hates Trump equally if not more, but they know there’s no chance to affect change after Trump has gotten elected and Biden is in his last term. Just piercing through the veil on this issue requires enough political awareness that they would know Trump is bad on this issue. But you have to act like you will withdraw your vote or the threat is useless.
