But she already agrees with you and she's not currently in a position to do anything. Why not let her get elected then give her a chance?
Joe Biden on the other hand is currently the president he can still do all kinds of things.
This really only seems to hurt Harris politically even though she can't do anything but talk right now. I know the right is also pushing some of this to try to make people not vote for her which is why I am wondering where it's coming from. The same thing they were doing with Biden when he was the candidate. Just seems odd considering she doesn't have any power over this yet really.
Does she tho? She hasn't really taken a strong stance on the subject, spouting both-sideisms while supporting Joe's genocidal policies. This is precisely why she appears swayable, but not swayed yet.
Did you even read the post?
The more pressure there is to change course, the more likely it is Biden or Harris will have to do something or risk losing to Trump.
If they won't do or commit to do the things their voters are demanding of them, they deserve to be "hurt politically". What use is a politician who disregards the will of the people? If we can't draw a line at genocide, then what is the point of "lesser evil" voting?
Also I have seen zero evidence of anyone on the right speaking out against this administration's handling of Gaza.
If she agreed with me she would be calling Israel a fascist ethno-state that must be torn down and a new, single secular state built to represent both Palestinians and Israelis. She would call Biden a genocidal monster and cease all arms transfers.
She doesn't agree, because she is a Zionist.
