Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris said in a CNN interview that aired late Thursday that, if elected in November, she would not change the Biden administration's policy of steadfast military support for Israel.
It's harm reduction because incase having a personal identity crisis wonder why the fuck I was agreeing with what the dems were doing electorally, appreciate them eliminating that confusion. I feel the exact same way about Harris that I did the day before Biden dropped out. This interview literally puts her to the right of Biden. Even Biden wouldn't repeatedly say "yes I said that now, now I'm saying this, my position has not changed despite you highlighting two mutually exclusive positions I have held."
I don't want to give us too much credit cause we definitely do suck but: I do think its worth remembering that polls show a significant majority of Americans support a permanent ceasefire. This is just another example of democracy being a dog and pony show while the empire carries on doing whatever the hell it wants.
i mean we'll see in the election results, no matter how much the americans pontificate about how theyre good on the inside actually and that its just the evil politicians guiding them astray, if more than 50% of them vote for the nazi parties two wings we know that those polls were wrong
supporting a ceasefire does not at all mean you're pro-palestine. most EU countries voted for the UN deal months and months before all while supporting israel. plenty of zionists want a conditional deal where israel's hostages are returned and palestine's colonial subjugation and apartheid continue, just not as overtly.
found a poll from this week that 60% of americans support continuing military aid to israel. and you can't assume the 40% against it are against it on principled grounds, many of them are simply isolationists who don't want their taxpayer money going to other countries
How do you take up the reigns of an administration with like a 30% approval rating and then proudly proclaim you're not gonna change a fucking thing? Jesus christ, it really was just about Biden not being able to talk good anymore, wasn't it?
lol the betting markets flipped back to Trump after this interview
Hey Mrs Harris the earth is dying and 99% of people under the age of like 30 will starve to death at some point in their life if we don't stop hitting the accelerator on climate change, but sure, keep fracking for oil.
Good thing it's just one of that comms mods saying that. Probably isn't a sign of their stance when removing or banning certain users when they point out how much USA is rushing right
Excuse me, but I'm busy projecting all my beliefs onto her. As long as she doesn't explicitly say that she won't l execute Biden for war crimes then I'm still voting for her
fuck the morality of it this is one of the most unpopular positions of the biden admin. majority of independents and demotivated democrats want the weapons cut off from israel. why are democrats chasing some moderate republican voters that are never going to vote for them?
well it was a rhetorical question i know why. the interests of israel is aligned with their interests.
if you are registered to vote in united states, don't fall for the "lesser of two evils" narrative. you saw how people withholding their vote changed the democrats' candidate when most pundits deemed it impossible. withhold your vote and as loudly as you can condition your vote on stopping this genocide.
I'm coming around to the idea that Trump might actually be the harm reduction candidate if only because libs might pretend to care about what is doing. Sure it'll still be in a useless "drumph bad! We even call him drumph!" way but it still might get some libs to decide that genocide is bad now that the Republicans are doing it
Right well at this point I actively hope Trump wins. Fuck the Democrats. Fuck the Republicans too but I need the Democrats to lose more. Voting PSL as the most moral candidates.
