Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for president, fired back at pro-Palestinian protesters of Israel's war in Gaza as they interrupted her speech during a Wednesday night campaign rally in Detroit.

"You know what? If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I'm speaking," Harris said with a long stare, drawing loud cheers from supporters in the crowd before chants of, "Not going back!"

The time and place is when we have fucking leverage.

You don't though. You're pretending desperately that you do, but you don't .

Harris, presumably, wants to win. That gives us leverage.

Unless, of course, elections don't matter and this is all just theater.

It was this leverage and pressure that pushed biden to not run

This pressure should be kept up as long as genocide is occurring. You cannot have freedom and peace for you but not someone else, especially if you are in a country that forments and causes most wars in the world

If the anti-genocide vote has no leverage then why did Kamala say that?
