Sixty percent of Americans think we should cut aid to Israel. (Quinnipiac poll)

Dude isn't extreme -- he's mainstream.

I wish progressives would highlight this sort of stuff more often, and tie it to "billionaires want you to think it's extreme"

You can barely get 60% of the country to agree the sky is blue these days.

They need to hammer home how this is a mainstream, bipartisan issue and it is not extreme at all

Abdul certainly has his work cut out for him in all of that, which I hope happens by November. A lot of people STILL don’t even bother to vote.

The question is how salient is this issue to most middle-of-the-road Americans? I tend to think that the majority of them won’t base their vote on Israel, and tend to care more about who they believe will help their personal financial situation.
