WASHINGTON, May 18 (Reuters) - Several top White House aides say they are confident protests across U.S. college campuses against Israel’s offensive in Gaza will not translate into significantly fewer votes for Joe Biden in November’s election, despite polls showing many Democrats are deeply unhappy about the president’s policy on the war.

The White House optimism on the issue, which is shared by many in the Biden campaign, runs contrary to dire warnings from some Democratic strategists and youth organizers who warn misjudging the situation could cost Biden votes in a tight race with Republican rival Donald Trump.

        If that were remotely true the fascist GOP wouldn’t spend all their time, money & effort in making sure fewer people voted.

          Clinton won California by a 2:1 margin and Trump was still president.

          The fascists know how to play the game better than the non-fascists.
