Probably referring to the recent calls for a civil war.

Oh the state senator!

Stop making this an election issue. It's not. You're just helping Trump

Having your tax dollar fund an active genocide is an issue for many of us

[–] [email protected] -3 points 4 months ago

Except you don't have a choice, so it isn't. The only election issues are ones that you can participate in. The US will sell arms to Israel. That's not going to stop, no matter who is elected. How about we elect the person who may not actively encourage them to use them relentlessly on civilians. That's an issue you get to vote on.

Either side she chooses will lose her votes. I don't know that anyone will accept any sort of fence riding, either.

i truly think the twitter "left" thinks hamas will just pack up and go home or israel will just drop everything if the us stops weapon sales

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

i truly think the twitter "left" thinks the US should stop supplying weapons towards genocide.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Of course not. But I'd be a lot more comfortable with our president not actively supporting it. I don't use Twitter, I'm just an American jew who is deeply ashamed of Israel's behavior.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

She already had my vote... If she trully stops the US from supporting a Genocide by sending money and weapons to Israel, then she has my full support.

No presidential candidate is going to do more than lip service until the situation there changes drastically. From a political standpoint, this is only an issue at all for the under 30 crowd. Even then, it's almost exclusively an issue for the demographics that are going to vote democrat or just stay home, most are smart enough to realize that the other side would be worse. Even if the youth turnout somehow doubled, this probably still wouldn't make up for how deeply deeply unpopular the Palestinian government is with every other demographic. Anyone who is old enough to remember when the current organization in charge first got going is looking at the younger generations like they are insane.

She's much more likely to just be more generically silent and passive on the issue now that her exposure is higher. I would bet she actually dials it back even more than she did on her last speech.

Sky urged to change color to Green.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I'm very curious how Harris will act now that she doesn't need to secure the nomination. Here's hoping it unleashes her better judgement to call things out.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

The copycat former VP's VP being expected not to also copycat.

Unless she actually became president, I doubt her stance would change unfortunately
