What if Kamala just said fuck it and went pro Palestine? (hexbear.net)

Like what if she went on whatever her next big interview is and just declared that Israel was an apartheid genocide state that, once elected, she would bring to heel.

She vows to immediately cute all aid and in fact begin working against Israel in any way. Maybe that's implementing a blockade, maybe it is boots on the ground invasion of tel Aviv, or maybe it's just diplomatic in some manner.

What would happen? This is assuming she just went rogue so to speak... That is this is not the state department line or something. Maybe she personally broke inside at the horrors she's witnessed, maybe she is seeing her polls and decides this is best, maybe she's just drugged out of her mind and she can't remember who she is anymore. Maybe it's all a lie. Whatever.

Would the Democrats disavow her? Halt her campaign in some way? Have her dealt with? Or would they be forced to sorta follow suit because the election is so close?

I just think about this because she quite literally could go on TV and say whatever the hell she wanted. If she was as compassionate towards the Palestinians as she claims she could do it regardless of what Biden or anyone else says.

Obviously she won't because she seems to love genocide but ya know a little thought experiment.

I imagine it would be similar to what happened with Biden and Obama when Biden endorsed same sex marriage and they just had to run with it.

Probably wouldn't change much but if she did it I would probably grudgingly vote for her.

Yai imagine it would only be done to try and win the election. It's the most likely of all the unlikely reasons she'd do this. Really the only one with greater than say .001% chance.

I'd also grudgingly vote for her if she made enough anti genocide noise. Or I would have except now it's literally too late. Just dropped my ballot for PSL haha.
