Please, please litigate this issue AFTER she wins. Everyone is far worse off for all sorts of other reasons if she doesn’t.
Please, please litigate this issue AFTER she wins.
When it can be ignored.
“You know what? If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I’m speaking,” Harris said
Maybe if you don’t want Donald Trump to win you should show some backbone and stand up to your fascist Israeli masters.
Yes! Absolutely this! The best way to win is to alienate the largest group of people possible and turn them towards your opponent. This is such a masterful political strategy. It’s a wonder more people with this view don’t hold office./s
It would be wonderful to see pro-democracy and pro peace groups holding as much resources and influence as groups like aipac does. Being able to offer candidates that sort of security. The sad truth is we can’t. And that we have to work within and compromise with groups we very often despise in order to get anything positive done. The honest truth is that we represent nothing more than a slightly more secure margin of winning. But only when added on to all the rest not by ourselves.
Like protestors throwing paint on priceless works of art to get attention to their cause, I think this kind of protest is short-sighted and counterproductive.
Interrupting destructive speech to protest is always welcome and positive. Trump for example is 99% of the time destructive, fascist speech. Interrupt away. But interrupting productive speech to protest is itself destructive even if you draw attention to your issue. It not only subjugates other peoples’ valid choices to hear and be heard about productive things, taking away momentum and agency, but also is an egotistical act that harms other positive outcomes.
To me, it makes pro-Palestine protestors less sympathetic. I support action that will actually lead to specific outcomes eliminating Israeli oppression and genocide, but this ain’t it.
If we just don’t talk about genocide, perhaps it will go away?
This is a rally, not a town hall. PLUS she did meet with them, before the rally, then mentioned that when they first interrupted her rally, then she finally told them to shut up because they kept interrupting in a completely nonproductive way
Have you heard about AIPAC spending loads of money to take out pro-Palenstinian incumbents in the primaries? They can probably cause Harris more trouble in the election than the pro-Palestinian protesters.
The good old ‘shut up or we’ll give you a proto-fascist’ vibe. Very reminiscent of Hillary in 2016.
It still is far more important that she win this election.
She really screwed up with that response. Ugh.
You’re posting Social Media screenshots and trying to make a point? Get some friends and go outside.
The point is, Harris fucked up by saying this. IN MICHIGAN! SMH… liberalism at work.
No, she didn’t. You just think that’s the case. What she subtly said was something different. The pro-gaza population in the US isn’t going to sway the election. If you think so, you’re 1000% wrong.
Harris will win, with or without the small amount of the pro-gaza voters. I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here.
As the campaign heats up and campuses re-open for the fall it is crucial that Harris’s campaign figures out how to talk to and about people who are horrified by US policy in Gaza.
This could be her “covid kryptonite” if she doesn’t figure it out quickly.
Remember that if she loses and you feel the urge to start blaming people.
She handled this in the worst way. I’m not going to get mad at protesters who want to see an end to genocide. Even Biden had a more humbling response.
Well, nice things don’t last forever

Imagine if Trump had done that, Liberals would be in an uproar about how authoritarian he is and needs to get beat. Shes as condescending as Hillary and maybe she will suffer the same fate,
I don’t think you need to imagine too hard since he instructed his fans to “knock the crap out of them” in response to any protestors at one of his rallies.
Case in point. Coming from Trump its authoritarian, coming from a democrat its “Yas queen”
