    Not only hypocrisy, but also not true at all lol.

    Biden pretty much okay’d Universities arresting their students to stop protests because his lobbyists threatened to withhold funding for both the party and each respective university.

    Of course he didn’t care about the zionist mob that attacked UCLA students, so it’s pretty clear where he stands.

      All they have to do is pledge to follow the Leahy Law…

      Israel won’t comply, which means we legally can’t provide arms. Kamala doesn’t even have to be “the bad guy”, she can just say she’s choosing to follow American law and if Israel wants arms then they can comply like every other recipient has to.

      It’s really as easy as saying:

      If elected I will not break American law to send arms to foreign countries.

      Boom, election locked up.

        You people really have a massively inflated concept of how many voting progressives that there are. Get off the internet for a while…

        Harris would 100% lose the election if she said that.

        How many voters would she lose if she declared intent to stop assisting Isreal?

        She might possibly gain a few, but would she lose any?

          It’s a valid question and I’m sure the Harris campaign has spent considerable resources trying to get a good estimate of that number.

          It’s pretty insane that the Democratic party officials have to say, “We’d love to stop funding a genocide but our members won’t vote for us if we do that.”

          Is not about voters, it’s about money. Both parties are bribed to keep it going.

          She would likely gain voters because she would be distinguishing herself from Biden who remains deeply unpopular.

          She’d gain more than she’d lose, even before counting in the electoral college. Conditioning Israeli aid is supported by the majority of people of Democrats, Republicans and independents, and the people who don’t want it don’t care too much either way. Definitely not more than left wingers who want the genocide to stop. In terms of votes it’s a no brainer.

            Yeah, I would hope there are more anti-genocide voters but i doubt it, honestly.

      Best they can do is thoughts and prayers. Oh wait, that was school shootings. Never mind then.

      Okay, now let us know how you plan to keep Hamas and Hezbollah from continuing to attack Israel. Or does it not count when Jews are being genocided?

    Anti-arab hate… let’s see… Arab hate is bad, so anti-arab hate is good… but they are trying to “counter” anti-arab hate, so that’s bad?

      Did you even read it? It states literally 20 bullets on how the Executive Branch will combat racism.

        I just read that list. As near as I can tell they put a lot of words in that don’t actually promise anything helpful. Maybe I’m wrong.

        Let’s make it as easy as possible to show this plan in a good light. Instead of finding one bad bullet point in that list and tearing it up, let’s see if we can find one good one.

        Out of that entire list, which bullet point do you think has the best chance to actually “counter Islamophobia and Anti-Arab Hate?”

        edit: grammar

    This is pure Liberal brainrot, sometimes reality feels like a parody of itself. I dont even have much to say tbh, im too tired for this bs.
