We turn to Kamala Harris’s position on Israel’s war on Gaza, which many are calling a genocide. After she was asked about calls to condition U.S. arms shipments to Israel by CNN reporter Dana Bash, Harris refused to consider halting the flow of weapons and instead affirmed her support of Israel. This position violates both federal and international law, argues Palestinian American political analyst Yousef Munayyer, and, coupled with her campaign’s denial of a requested Palestinian American speaking spot from “uncommitted” voters at the DNC, he warns that “Harris could be worse than Biden” when it comes to U.S. support for Israel.
This is two days ago, had to tell Google to look for recent. It’s not what I’m citing but it echoes it. People aren’t thrilled with CNN, but it’s not the only source if you do the time limited search yourself.
If I didn’t have two kids driving me crazy past their bedtime I’d search out more but the whole ordeal reeks of false consensus bias. Most people want to believe they’re in the majority. But if it makes people feel better, the anti war minority is probably correct (and my guess is the real majority is just ignorance or indifference).
Because you’re only attacking Dems for supporting it while ignoring how Reps are reacting to it. Only attacking one side very much seems like you are favoring the other.
Ok, Google is a bit of a dumpster fire, but here’s a few things retracing my steps:

That’s in May, but it’s a more popular link. That and a thing from Chicago foreign affairs which idk as well so I didn’t link it.

Edit: it’s 61% saying US is doing well there. Most of it is “somewhat” so it’s not like it’s 5/5 stars. The Chicago one actually is a good read and it’s what the CNN one is based on I think. https://globalaffairs.org/research/public-opinion-survey/americans-see-united-states-playing-positive-role-middle-east
It is a good read, specifically “seven in 10 Democrats (68%) and more than half of Independents (54%) support restricting military aid to Israel”.
Well we broke 60%, I’m waiting
We? You’re including yourself among people who want to restrict military aid to Israel?
Why do you want Trump to win?
We as in the US. Because the comment was made “If 60% called for a ban on weapons sales, you better believe it’ll be reflected in the platform.”
What is with people like you making wild leaps in bad faith.
I was quoting the standard centrist line about anyone who has objections to genocide. I can’t imagine why you hadn’t encountered it before.
Ah maybe that’s just me, I don’t like to push stereotypes and make sweeping assumptions lol
Tell me again about how I’m forcing people to vote for trump by saying that Democrats have no business supporting genocide.
