She said to vote straight Dem ticket while at a really meant to bring out support for Harris. This article is intended to sow division instead of report in an accurate context.
Thank you for your service! This makes perfect sense. I was wondering if this was similar to Uncommitted's non-endorsement of Harris, where they declined to explicitly endorse her due to Gaza but basically said everyone needs to out and vote for her anyways - and you answered this for me.
Whilst I respect her view on the situation in Gaza, is this not cutting your nose off to spite your face? There will be NO ability to influence a Trump and more broadly Republican government unlike a Democrat one. In fact under Trump you will see more overt support for Israel and even worse a contraction of US involvement in the situation to temper aggression. Also, given Trump's war like provaclivity in the past, with authorising a strike in Iran, it is likely going increase the likelihood of escalation and a more widespread conflict.
100% and it takes a pretty shallow view to think otherwise.
Chance of Harris getting tough on Israel? Maybe 30%
Chance of Trump getting tough on Israel? 0%. Maybe even a negative % because he basically already gave them pointers on having a quieter genocide.
We need a party that can say no to genocide. If that can't be the Democrats, then so be it. I'm not sure where this goes, but the American political landscape is forever changed after this election.
The problem is this:
Democrats want a peaceful solution to the Genocide.
Republicans want a faster, more complete genocide.
One of those two parties is going to lead for the next four years.
Since when has a genocide ever ended peacefully?
She's gonna love president Trump when there's no Palestine left
Fuckin dumb. Throwing american trans people in with the Palestinians getting alaughtered, and then turning up the slaughter dial by helping trump.
Not to mention the women denied healthcare for treatable complications during pregnancies because some republican senator/ lawyer said so.
