“Voting is just a way to pick the person that will be sitting across from me at the negotiation table next year”, is one of the ways to think about it.
Harris‘ policy on Israel is ambiguous, weak and too-little-too-late. But you’ll get further trying to influence her administration than Trump 2.0.
Let's be honest. Without biden/trump it would be a non issue. Trump would smother out all reporting on the subject replacing it with trauma to the American people.
It's okay to just say you disagree with Harris on some things and still vote for her.
Well, your thought experiment actually just agrees with the uncommitted, since if they don't want to negotiate now that they want your vote, what hope you have after you lost that leverage?
I do agree with the uncommitted: voting third party because of Palestine is for idiots.
That said, if you are a political activist, and you think your one vote is the only thing you have to offer, you need a new ducking job.
The inability to think this way is why we’re in this mess. Happy Cake Day!
The ambiguity is ironically a good sign. That she isn't outright committed to the status quo. But rather not willing to signal her actual position. If she came out strongly against Israel and for Palestine. Unfortunately that would be a large hindrance to her candidacy in the current climate.
It's a shame that those illegally occupying Palestine have such influence over our government. Especially after their terrorist attacks of the last few days. Not to mention the decades long slow genocide that's only accelerated in the last year.
She saw the Genocide Joe protests and is now "ambiguous" on this matter to pretend she isn't exactly like Biden on this subject.
