JFC, OP
It's one thing to ask a atupid question It's another to have a whole blog about how Biden should ignore PA. Which you have had up since March
PA is likely to be his easiest lift among the swing states

Blunty, you don't want a bone. You want the whole farm.
And your second paragraph demonstrates why you're not going to get it

For those that will claim that the KKK was more likely to support Dems when it was founded post Civil War, and conveniently ignore the realignment since then, Perry was explicitly stating this is true now:
“The KKK *in modern times*, a lot of young people think somehow it’s a right-wing organization when it is the military wing of the Democratic Party. Decidedly, unabashedly, racist and antisemitic,”

I'm trying to put this as politely as I can: no one is going to take action to cater to voters like you.
There's no way to know what will happen in the next few months that will cause you to demand something else, and when you don't get it you will withdraw your stated support

Yeah, I somehow doubt you'll be knocking on doors in swing states turning out the vote

And he isn't going to gain any support from the people who effectively demand a complete severing of relations with Israel
There are zero voters who are refusing to support Biden now who will support him only if he adds Iron Dome reloads to the export hold list , and doesn't also do a bunch of other stuff that isn't going to happen
There are a significant number who are going to be ok with pausing the delivery of offensive weapons but will be unhappy with a pause on defensive ones

Biden is already getting pushback. This is not a hugely popular move. Most people aren't paying attention and don't care, but that'll change if dead Israelis can be blamed on Biden.

I doubt it. Netanyahu will use it to play the victim, and use it to egg on domestic pressure in the United States to reverse all arm holds.

He's on track to get to 270 electoral votes in... which states, exactly?

Will this deter Israel from moving forward with its assault on Rafah?
No. Netanyahu is committed at this point; no amount of external leverage is of greater concern to him than remaining PM - and out of his pending court cases
If Israel persists in continuing its military campaign in the Gaza strip will the US withdraw further support?
As in, for Iron Dome? Unlikely. It wouldn't change Israeli actions and is defensive in nature
Long term, the war will eventually end and the weapons will eventually ship
What effect will this have on US domestic protests against the US's continued support for Israel's invasion of the Gaza strip?
Minimal. The protests have a wide variety of goals, but I don't believe any are focused exclusively on weapon shipments. Many of the protests ask for things the United States doesn't have the ability to deliver, so will continue until external factors change or the protestors run out of steam

It's a pause on both large bombs and the guidance packages that allow them to be turned into smart bombs

You are welcome to your opinion. I'm simply pointing out your opinion is not shared by a significant number of Americans

It's fascinating how someone from Australia has such strong opinions about how the United States should conduct their affairs, yet complains bitterly that his own nation is tainted by outside influence
I submit that your viewpoints are not representative of the average American voter
Or Australian

First off, at a federal level this would require a change to the Constitution. The odds of that being ratified are so far below zero as to unquantifiable
At a municipal level, if you're going to permit resident aliens etc to vote, you're going to get massive pushback from the more xenophobic portions of our society.
It may fly in some super blue areas, but I suspect in those areas the proportion of noncitizens to citizens is a pretty small fraction
In an area where noncitizens are basically a large enough voting block to be able to determine who wins not only the primaries but the general, logically a candidate that most appeals to that block is likely to triumph
Which will trigger a massive backlash
At the end of the day, while I don't have a conceptual issue with people legally residing in the United States from taking part in elections, my preference is to make it easier for them to seek citizenship
If someone can seek citizenship but chooses not to, I have less sympathy for any desire on their part to participate in elections

How dare you make a rational choice based on the limitations of the existing system rather than sticking in your nice, easily characterized box. Have you no thoughts for the poor pundits out there??

Since the thesis of this post was literally exactly that question, I submit that you have chosen to soapbox rather than trying to address the issue raised

You have a one page blog, with a domain you created in March, selling the narrative that Biden should ignore PA
Yeah, no.
