Harris seriously needs to fire her campaign advisors. There are so many easy things she could do to easily win the presidency but for some reason she refuses to do them.
Taking a stand against genocide is just one of them and is so easy to do. She’d gain 10s of millions of Arab voters plus the 10s of millions of progressive voters she’s missing out on right now, and it would probably only cost her a few thousand moderate voters. Those voters probably aren’t even in swing states so who cares?
I don’t know why Harris is running such a stupid campaign or why she just doesn’t do the really easy thing that will absolutely guarantee that she easily wins the white house.
It absolutely blows my mind.
I’m curious if it’s because she has taken the Biden campaign advisors on board. Maybe his whole crew thinks like him, and are thus rabid Zionists.
Or maybe they determined that all the critics are in blue places and not swing states, so they don’t matter.
Harris is a cop. She believes in putting people in cages. Ofc she supports this genocide.

It’s too late for this “progressive”. I voted for Cornel West yesterday. Before y’all libs attack me, I live in a state where my vote is completely meaningless. Democracy and freedom!!! \s
Excellent choice, I voted for Trump. It’'s absolutely imperative that we keep Harris from getting elected and voting for a third party instead of Harris helps to get Trump elected, but since I live in a swing state I didn’t want to take any chances and voted directly for Trump instead of indirectly.

It’s about time MAGA actually admitted that.
It blows your mind because you’re living in a bubble and believe things you read on the internet without questioning them enough.
First Israel is not committing genocide. The casualties are consistent with combat operations in an urban environment. Death toll numbers are flattening as Hamas is eliminated: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Israel–Hamas_war#/media/File:Gaza_death_graph.png
If it were a genocide the numbers would be increasing.
Second, you’re in a very small group of unreliable voters. It is not good strategy to ignore the majority to appease a small group of people that have been influenced by a foreign propaganda campaign. Most people understand that Hamas is a terrorist group, doesn’t wear uniforms so therefore civilian casualties will be high when there’s combat operations against them. Most people understand what happened on October 7, and understand that a nation should not abandon it’s people when they’re being held hostage. And nations shouldn’t abandon their allies simply because their allies are fighting an enemy that has a propaganda campaign that’s effective on a small portion of their population.
You likely weren’t going to vote anyway. You’d probably find some other excuse to not vote even if Harris was saying everything the propaganda tells you she should. And, I can’t stress this enough, you’re part of a very small group of people. What you’re saying isn’t all that different from someone saying they can’t understand why Harris wouldn’t say the Earth is flat because she’s losing the flat earther vote if she doesn’t.
She’s not saying the things you want her to say because you are wrong. Surrounding yourself only with people that agree with you doesn’t change that.
It’s a genocide, and your boss needs to retrain you, you’re using ancient debunked versions of your propaganda.
Nobody outside your internet bubble agrees with you. You’re unable to gain any influence outside of a few impressionable youths because you’re constantly making claims that are obviously false. We all see you try to redefine the word genocide to mean “whatever Israel is doing”. Using a word like genocide in this way is disgusting to rational people which is why you’re becoming pariahs.
ICJ and UN agree it’s a genocide. More than 120 countries call it a genocide.
It’s just the US (former performer of genocide), UK (former performer of Genocide), and Israel (largest performer of genocide since the Holocaust) that deny the genocide.
ICJ and UN agree it’s a genocide.
That’s a lie. They expressed concerns over a potential genocide six months ago and haven’t said anything since. A rational person would conclude that the potential genocide that they were worried about didn’t actually happen.
Listen, your generic propaganda barely worked on the most right leaning people a year ago. It does not work on anyone with a brain and does not work on a left leaning site like lemmy. Go back to reddit and other right wing hug boxes with your genocide denying bullshit. Trump’s going to lose, US troops will not be sent to aide your genocide, you’ll have to live with unlimited funding to kill kids with, and history will look on at Israel’s ashes the same way it does Nazi germany. You racist, evil, genocide denying hog.
Moreover, Harris often stresses that her support for Israel is “unwavering”. She has been part of an administration that has overseen unconditional support for the brutal war on Gaza, and recently, she welcomed Israeli escalation in Lebanon.
When asked recently what she would have done differently from Biden, Harris said “not a thing that comes to mind”, stressing that she has been part of the decision-making process at the White House on most important issues.
Separate from the moral issue, this just speaks to her being a really poor campaigner. These are softball questions designed to allow her to create daylight with an unpopular president on her terms. Reminds me a lot of how much she fumbled her primary campaign.
But old guy picked her and old guy was old on camera, so I guess she’s our best option. Still better than the alternatives, both Biden and Trump, but just sort of sad from a nation of 330M people.
I think an often overlooked group of Americans are those that just don’t give a shit about the middle east. From their perspective it full of assholes led by groups that hurt women and minorities. Religious kooks that are constantly commiting acts of terrorism around the world, and actively regressing year after year. Every attempt to “help” in the area makes everything worse.
I’m from a hugely diverse, well educated, part of the US and growing up the same joke about the middle east was used for the last 40 years. “They should just glass the whole region if they ever want to see peace in the middle east.”
It goes without saying everything about that is terrible.
Islamophobia is normalized in America, especially since 9/11. The dehumanization of people in the Middle East is intentional in order to Manufacture Consent for US Foreign Policy in the Region, especially since the Iraq War. Plus the extent of our Military Operations are barely even touched on if at all.
This Genocide in Gaza has been a notable exception, it’s difficult for US News Outlets cover the News and paint our Ally Israel in a good light when it’s been a year of daily Human Rights Violations done by our Ally with our Unconditional Military Support
“Please vote for me! I will do anything but stop supporting genocide of people abroad who share your religion.”
Zios are murdering people from a variety of religions.
It won’t. The Arabs are too angry. Minnesota literally has a Palestinian who lost 42 family members in a single airstrike by Israel and then their governor goes on a VP debate for election and the only thing he can say about the conflict is that he supports Israel’s right for expansion.

Sounds like she should be investigated for having ties to Hamas…
This is either missing a big fat /s and still pretty tone deaf, or the most disgusting thing I’ve read today
Really hope you’re being sarcastic here man.
There’s so many things Kamala can do to guarantee she wins…
Taking a stand against genocide is just one of them, but she just keeps going to the right.
It’s the exact opposite of what voters want, but exactly what donors want and why they’re donating.
Shit won’t get better until we at least get dirty money out of our party.

In a world where a surprisingly high proportion of society are moderately to completely sure that the Government can control major weather events, I must say I am more than a little skeptical about the idea that anyone can convince a majority of the populace to make what is self-evidently the best decision based on factual information that they can process and compare against other statements until reaching a cohesive conclusion not based more or less entirely on self-serving and/or ideological biases.
That comment needs an editor.
Your comment needs to be interesting. Briefly checking your post history, this seems to a recurring issue.
You thought it was interesting enough to go look at my history? That’s quite flattering. Or it would be.
