People either don't seem to understand, or are pretending not to understand for political purposes, that Harris has a very thin line to toe until the election. If she says anything strongly in either way regarding Israel/Palestine, she will lose.
Anyone telling you that she is worse than Trump on the issue is a goddamn liar
Exactly this.
People are upset because of the fine line she has to walk, but I have always figured that once she wins the election she'd do the right thing, and this event makes me believe I'm right to have faith.
She might just lose for not saying anything strongly anyway.
Trump supporters always underreport in polls. She's not holding her own in the swing states. Harris is going to lose and usher in fascism and the end of the republic, all so she can take some sweet, sweet far-right-wing foreign government bribes.
Yeah, but then centrists will get the right wing policies they want and get to blame the left for it.
She might... That would suck.
Harris started her political career by condemning Obama for not perfectly obeying Israel. She votes for Israel every time. She even tells a story how she planted trees for Israel as a child.
The only fine line she is trying to walk is keeping her pro-Palestine voters while doing everything Israel is asking of her.
If centrists don't like that they don't get 100% of everything they want, in this case unconditional support for genocide, they can vote blue no matter who.
I'm not sure you even understood my comment. And yet at least 10 other people read this and were like "yup, that sounds right."
Suspect.
People generally have really poor reading comprehension. I've been surprised by how bad it is here on lemmy. I've had folks argue against things not even remotely close to what was said, and then other morons will come along to dogpile.
Aaaaaaaaaand immediately gets called antisemitic...jesus christ these people...
Guess what Israel? Semites include Arabs, Jews, Akkadians, and Phoenicians. So you're being antisemitic by killing all of them!
"Many, including myself, always suspected that she held this warped, antisemitic view of Israel’s self-defense against Hamas barbarism. But the cat is now out of the bag,” he said to the US outlet on Saturday.
“Her view is as ignorant as it is malign. … To give credence publicly to this disgusting blood libel disqualifies Harris from holding any public office, let alone the presidency,” he added." (He then did a little happy jig and said to himself "we got 'er! Antisemitic married to a Jew, people are too dumb to realize I'm a lying sack of shit!")
Heeeeereeee we go with this bullshit...
"To give credence publicly to this disgusting blood libel disqualifies Harris from holding any public office, let alone the presidency"
Is it? 🤔
Does that mean people under criminal charges should be disqualified as well, right?
I guess that only leaves that other anti semite, Dr Jill Stein.
This would be hilarious of it wasn't so sad.
Harris lifts up the voice of the anti-Zionists ^by^ ^having^ ^them^ ^escorted^ ^away^ ^by^ ^security^
I mean tbf even if we agree with his opinion he's heckling. Getting escorted by security seems like a natural consequence of that.
Seems a bit of a stretch that that was her intention.
Just say it
We all know she would never actually do that.
