    It’s a race to the end of the month. Can we reach voting day while keeping a lid on discontent with the genocide?

    They’re pretty clearly locked in on that. What you might see is a declaration a couple days before if her team figures they’re losing and they need a desperate play.

    Time is running for Harris to break with Biden ON ANYTHING. You saw a jump in poll numbers between Biden and Harris because people thought she would be different. Every interview she gives saying “I am the status quo” pushes her numbers back to Biden.

    I have decided based on your post history that you are a troll, a Trump supporter, and are doing everything possible to spread FUD with no actual reasonable discourse.

    You are now blocked. Maybe stop wasting so much effort going against someone and start working to find a viable option for the next election — if indeed you’re not a troll and a MAGA moron.

      You should look at my post history a little harder. I have posted a lot on Palestine, and very few have centered on Harris. I consider the election choices very painful for anyone who wants to keep Trump out while not supporting an administration which is clearly collaborating in a genocide with Israel. Most likely I will hold my nose and vote for Harris, but I’m not sure yet. If I don’t, I would be voting for Jill Stein.

      When the election is over, what are centrists going to do when they can’t pretend that anyone who doesn’t support genocide is a trumper?

        Call them antisemitic like they did with the antiwar protests. And they’ll have all the centrist press reinforcing it so they’ll never need to consider whether there’s any deeper issue they should be thinking about.

    I know that the hold that Israel (and the military industrial complex) has on both major political parties is money, Money, MONEY. But there has got to be a breaking point. I thought the breaking point would be the indiscriminate slaughter of innocent children, but alas.

    I mean, I will still vote for Harris, because I’m not stupid. I know the alternative is far worse. But I’d rather not have innocent blood on my hands after I fill out that ballot.

    Probably get hate for this around here, but it would be pants-on-head retarded for a political candidate to propose a major policy shift 3-weeks before a national election.

      It’d be genius, if anything. Soon enough that people will know it and vote for her (the majority of Democrats support conditioning Israeli aid), too late for AIPAC’d propaganda machine to push the election towards Trump.

      The major-policy shift: Not supporting an apartheid state that’s killing thousands of innocent civilians.

      Lots of people said that about switching candidates just a few months before the election but they pulled that off fine. Abandoning a pro-genocide stance seems like a low bar in that regard.

      And that’s ignoring the fact that Gaza is consistently polling at the bottom of issues that will sway voters
