Seems a little too little too late for it to move the needle much, especially given how much early voting has happened. Harris’s position on Israel has been so bizarre, pretty sure Israel has even been actively working against Democrats this whole time anyways.

3rd party voters: "I'm not voting for Harris until she condemns the Gaza war!"

Harris: *says she condemns the Gaza war*

3rd party voters: *desperate scrambling sounds to find something else to be a single issue contrarian*

I'm really hoping I'm wrong about that, but I'm seeing it on this thread.

I mean for context something like 70 million early voters already cast their ballot, so this quite literally cannot change their vote and that number is roughly half of the entire votes cast the entire last election. So in all likelihood, roughly half the people you're mad at can't react at all because of how long she waited.

You're still not saying the magic words harris. Repeat after me: 'i will enforce american laws regarding war crimes until israel obeys international laws regarding war crimes and genocide'. You've waited too long and i doubt you'll do it before you need to tomorrow.

Its easy to see how she's more focused on the israel hostages than Palestinian population, a group who as our own diplomatic core has informed the admin shes a part of, will be returned in a ceasefire agreement. Hamas already agreed to return them, at least before israel starting offing those leaders first. Only israel is the issue.

Like her ads I'm sure she has a more pro Israel slant in other cities.
