Yeah, I agree entirely. It is at least a sign that she may have a real threshold when it comes to support for Israel, which is probably about the best we can hope for from the Democrats. Picking Shapiro would have been a signal that she is all in on the genocide, so it's at least worth celebrating that she went another way. I don't really expect this to turn into meaningful support for Palestine, but it does at least represent a step back from total bloodthirsty support of Israel, which is what we've gotten with Biden (and which is increasingly unpopular with the Democratic voters). As you said, maybe it at least means she wouldn't fall in line with Israel attempting to subjugate an entire region of the planet.
If she picked Shapiro, I would have interpreted it as a genuine middle finger to myself and everyone else who was opposed to genocide.
This pic, is more like patting what's on the head and telling us that she hears and sees us. While she continues the genocide.
So like, it's better than the alternative, but I'm still waiting for her to do something.
Not holding my breath on that.
Neither am I.
It's really sad. The PSL isn't on my ballot.
I'm going to go vote. But it looks like I'm going to have to leave the top of the ticket blank.
Same boat here, comrade. One of the few states where they're not even doing an official write-in campaign.
I don't blame them for focusing their efforts, but it does suck.
