I'm hoping once Harris takes office that she can improve the Isreal/Palestine situation. But I suspect for now she has to keep her cards close or she'll lose some key support.
Politics has been an old-boys club for a long time. She probably has to tread carefully until she knows if she has a majority or not.
They are already in office, they are the vice president of the united states, the second highest charge in the country
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vice_President_of_the_United_States
Presides over the Senate, but can't even vote in it. Unless there's a tie. And she's an advisor to the president. Literally less actual power than a random senator.
And then you get offended when people call you russian bots. You're either knowingly or unknowingly spreading misinformation. In the end, the result is the same.
"The vice president of the United States (VPOTUS) is the second-highest office in the executive branch of the U.S. federal government, after the president of the United States, and ranks first in the presidential line of succession."
Second highest office
Second highest office, but with less power than a random senator, as I've said. You've brought it up by implying that she's in power now and she's not doing anything with that power. And I'm telling you and everyone reading that it's bullshit because despite the name and ranking, she's powerless. Can't even vote in the Senate.
