Probably not... but if she's smart she'll follow the trend of playing into the protesters and signaling more openness to a ceasefire and highlighting the conflict.

hahaha, are you serious? Democrats will flat out gnocide Palestinians without a care in the world, they don't care anymore then Republicans do

[–] xmunk 1 points 3 weeks ago

If you think they're equal you're delusional or a troll - both parties are bad but the GOP has much fucking worse stances on Palestine.

i was at this protest and this seems VERY unlikely given the numbers and the very heavy police presence.

there are more protestors than the people in any one of the hotels near the convention; but all combined they're outnumbered 5 to 1 and chicago is spending a LOT of $$$ on police overtime; there's almost as many police as there are protesters.

They also are trying to hide any protests inside the venue. They literally hit a woman in the head with their "We Love Joe" signs to get her to stop.

that's clearly the intent from the way that they've literally blocked off the entire section of the street and forced the organizers to hold the protest at an in-audible distance from the convention.

No, because Kamala isn't Israel and most people have a brain.

Nope. They are insignificant in the numbers needed to impact the election overall, but I'd expect them to realize that and vote for her anyway since she's absolutely aligned with their other politics.
