Stop enabling the genocide? Please?
All they have to do is pledge to follow the Leahy Law....
Israel won't comply, which means we legally can't provide arms. Kamala doesn't even have to be "the bad guy", she can just say she's choosing to follow American law and if Israel wants arms then they can comply like every other recipient has to.
It's really as easy as saying:
If elected I will not break American law to send arms to foreign countries.
Boom, election locked up.
How many voters would she lose if she declared intent to stop assisting Isreal?
She might possibly gain a few, but would she lose any?
Is not about voters, it's about money. Both parties are bribed to keep it going.
It's a valid question and I'm sure the Harris campaign has spent considerable resources trying to get a good estimate of that number.
It's pretty insane that the Democratic party officials have to say, "We'd love to stop funding a genocide but our members won't vote for us if we do that."
She'd gain more than she'd lose, even before counting in the electoral college. Conditioning Israeli aid is supported by the majority of people of Democrats, Republicans and independents, and the people who don't want it don't care too much either way. Definitely not more than left wingers who want the genocide to stop. In terms of votes it's a no brainer.
She would likely gain voters because she would be distinguishing herself from Biden who remains deeply unpopular.
Yes. Enough to lose. These people don't seem to understand this (or refuse to)
This is THE potential problem with this
Yeah, I would hope there are more anti-genocide voters but i doubt it, honestly.

You people really have a massively inflated concept of how many voting progressives that there are. Get off the internet for a while...
Harris would 100% lose the election if she said that.
Best they can do is thoughts and prayers. Oh wait, that was school shootings. Never mind then.
School bombings don't qualify.
Israelis don't have the guts to even look the children in their eyes as they slaughter them. Cowards.
When they actually face real soldiers like in Southern Lebanon they get their arses handed to them.
All they know is blow up pager, burn refugee camp, bomb hospitals, shoot pregnant women in belly, rape men to death, and sniper bullets in kid’s heads.
I'm also offended by Israeli war crimes but I don't think that's an accurate assessment.
As far as I can tell, the Israeli military is very good at violence. They're extremely well equipped, they have superb training, and their military personnel tend to be dedicated to their cause.
The main problem isn't their ability to kill and destroy, it's their indiscriminate use of that ability.

If you aren't anti-arab a nice gesture might be to stop murdering them.
But there is a lot of water in Lebanon. Israel wants that.
Yeah, good luck with that. Islamophobia is one of Trump's tentpoles.
It also happens to be one of Harris' tent poles.
This is Peak Liberalism. Saying this while genociding them.
"we SEE you, we HEAR you, but Israel needs money . . ."

Peak liberalism
No more Islamophobia if there aren’t Islamic people any more 🤷♂️ /s
This is pure Liberal brainrot, sometimes reality feels like a parody of itself. I dont even have much to say tbh, im too tired for this bs.
Setting aside the hypocrisy, is it just me or is it infuriating how the whole article is a whole lot of nothing?
Did you even read it? It states literally 20 bullets on how the Executive Branch will combat racism.
I just read that list. As near as I can tell they put a lot of words in that don't actually promise anything helpful. Maybe I'm wrong.
Let's make it as easy as possible to show this plan in a good light. Instead of finding one bad bullet point in that list and tearing it up, let's see if we can find one good one.
Out of that entire list, which bullet point do you think has the best chance to actually "counter Islamophobia and Anti-Arab Hate?"
edit: grammar

Not only hypocrisy, but also not true at all lol.
Biden pretty much okay'd Universities arresting their students to stop protests because his lobbyists threatened to withhold funding for both the party and each respective university.
Of course he didn't care about the zionist mob that attacked UCLA students, so it's pretty clear where he stands.
wtf is wrong with these people!
Fucking pathetic.
Anti-arab hate... let's see... Arab hate is bad, so anti-arab hate is good... but they are trying to "counter" anti-arab hate, so that's bad?
