Yeah, probably. She should still do it.
Her problem isn’t just with the Palestinian community.
There was a surge of enthusiasm among Democrats when Kamala was first elected because people thought she might take action on Gaza. That enthusiasm soon evaporated when it became apparent that she wouldn’t.
People are desperate for anything and she’s giving them nothing.
Yeah let's downplay EVERYTHING ELSE she's campaigned on and redefine democratic excitement to be focused solely on Palestine, and yeah you're right.
I’m not redefining anything. I’m telling you: Democrats are not excited about Harris.
“Sure, she supports genocide, but logically you should still vote for her for these other reasons” is not how you win an election.
If people aren’t excited to vote for your candidate, they stay home.
A: Defines Kamala Harris purely in terms of the war Netanyahu started, from an American client state for the last 40 years, which Biden then supported.
B: Points out that Democrats are hugely supportive of Harris, although her failure to break away from all of that and condemn the war in Gaza is a huge black mark, yes.
A: Defines Harris purely in terms of the war et cetera, but this time adding "I'm telling you."
Sterling.
"Excited: Having great enthusiasm, passion and energy."

If Democrats don't know what "excited" means, that would explain a lot.
It's a complicated issue and explaining it to people who have been spending the last year consuming Iranian propaganda isn't going to get her anywhere. People want her to say "Israel is evil" and anything other than that will have them screaming "genocide Kamala" in the same way they scream "genocide Joe."
"We should condition weapons sales to Israel" is not complicated. Centrists love to pretend that anything they don't want to do is too complicated for feeble progressive minds to understand.
