    It’s easy to say things in the run up to election. I’ll wait and see what she actually does when/if she is elected

    She’s going to say whatever she thinks will get her elected.

    We can’t trust her as far as we can throw her. All this kamala hype is just manufactured by people who spent money.

        This is the point I was trying to make.

          I’m not trying to attack or dog pile on you, I just want the rubber meets road pragmatism of what the best action is. What’s the reality? I’m already aware neoliberals will not be progressives no matter how much you believe in fairies.

    Enough with words. We have had almost 10 months of them. Just another talker I bet.

      I feel that, but to be fair she’s not in a position to do much more than promise at the moment.

      I think it’s an encouraging sign that she’s not trying to duck the issue, the way she could. That’s not a guaruntee she’ll take real action, but if she’s distancing herself from Biden on this even before she gets the nomination it’s a good sign.

      I think it’s easy to forget just how extreme Biden is on this issue. Harris is your average democrat, but she’s still not ideological like Biden is, most aren’t. Biden went so far as to go around Obama to make promises to Israel when he was VP, I don’t see Harris having that kind of unquestioning desperation to help the right-wing Israeli government.

    If only she were the current sitting vice president of the United states of America, I.e. was in a position of power where she and the other members of the executive branch could take action as well as “striking a tough tone”.

    Actions, as always, speak louder than words.

      Oh my god, nothing is enough for you people. She’s literally pushing for an immediate ceasefire and withdrawal of the Israeli military and advocating for a 2 state solution. Isn’t that precisely what we want?

    Netanyahu: “Please stop withholding weapons and support, please seriously guys cut it out”

    TIME Magazine: “Is Netanyahu dragging out the conflict for political benefit?”

    Biden: “There is every reason for people to draw that conclusion.”

    Kamala Harris: “I will not be silent.”

    Hexbear: “Congress gives Netanyahu Standing Ovation, blood on hands of every US lawmaker, US President personally responsible for tens of thousands of deaths directly.”

      Did you watch the video?

      Republicans gave Netanyahu a standing ovation.

      Dozens of Democrats abstained, the ones who attended remained seated, and Rashida Tlaib held up a sign that said “war criminal.”

          Sure, fuck hexbear…but congress literally did give a standing ovation to a mass murderer, there is no getting around that reality. That’s not me, it was literally on NPR. Biden is a staunch supporter of mass murder who has blood on his hands.

          Hexbear being full of tankies doesn’t make it ok to support genocide.
