I wonder if these numbers will at all be affected by her support for Israel and its genocide of Palestinians.
I'm more upset about her being mad about burning flags. Not so upset that I wouldn't vote for her, but I've got a right to burn a flag because I don't like what it represents and as a prosecutor she should know that.
They will be lightly affected by her denouncing some of the protestors (which is separate from supporting Israel and its genocide), yes. Remember that the Jewish voting bloc is also primarily democratic. If your concern is politics in this situation, it's a very fine line that Dem politicians have to walk here.
Edit: I'm just gonna back out of this thread. I'm not supportive of the genocide, but yall also don't want to have an actual conversation.
My concern is for the Palestinians being driven from their homes and murdered by Israel and the US.
The question was centered on politics, so that's what I addressed. Harris is running a campaign, so she is also centered around politics right now. It sucks but it's how our world works right now.
Its not just that denounced some of the protestors. It's that this is the only thing she found worthy of mentioning in an official statement about the protests.
Agreed, I would like to have seen some statements on Netanyahu's many falsehoods in the speech. That's not generally going to be done via press release though and I doubt she would overstep the current president on criticizing foreign leaders.
I would say it is far more likely due to her history of supporting Israel and netanyhu, rather than her being pro Palestine but very compromising.
She's a lot more borderline on the issue than Biden. Her speech in December-ish was fairly critical of Israel's behavior up to that point and she called for a ceasefire pretty early on in comparison to others in the admin. She also normally would have presided over the speech Netanyahu gave this week, but chose not to. Is it enough? No, not really, but she's the VP and effectively a figurehead. I think it bodes well for at least a small shift in stance if she makes it in though. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Fuck walking that line don't kill kids.
Nah Id vote for half a ham sammich with bad Mayo over geriatric dementia don. He's just so old
It might be if you keep telling people
