She had so many chances to make this election easier. Could have had a Palestinian talk during the DNC, and that would have likely changed this story.
Yeah, earlier in her campaign, I was optimistic that she was just trying not to undermine Biden's foreign policy, and that she would eventually take an at least slightly more critical position on Israel. So far, though, she's seems entirely committed to Israel's escalating violence, and she won't even make the smallest gesture towards the Palestinian community. I didn't expect her to denounce Israel, but staying lock-step with Biden on this is looking like political suicide.
You'd have to be an idiot to make another countries conflict an election issue, when neither candidate supports your side. The fact that neither candidate is pro Palestine, it's a moot point in terms of the election
Guess I'm an idiot then. 🤷 I think I can live with that label. its unfortunate harris couldn't find her moral spine when it mattered but here we are.
Is this a joke? This genocide is as much our “conflict” as it is Israel’s, given that Israel wouldn’t be able to do what it’s doing without massive US financial, materiel, and political support. It’s absolutely an election issue. You can say it’s not ’till the cows come home, but uncommitted is as real as death & taxes.
So, a conflict where USA supply weapons and all other manners of support used for open genocide (btw illegally, US law declare US need to stop in such case, but Blinken and co blocked it) and is even sending US soldiers to serve as a missile bait, isn't an issue for US voters according to you?
Nice democracy you think they should have there.
apply this to Ukraine :)
Now I’ve lost track of who, or what country, we’re even talking about.
Thats not really a problem. The people you are talking to are only talking to themselves in a mirror anyway.
they think im Russian
Biden and Harris went to the right of the right wingers on immigration to defang the repubs, and they threw the election on their own to defang russian election interference agents. Checkmate Russia, you lose again.
