What was she clear about again ? Her overwhelming support for the Genocide of Gaza ? Yes
Off the top of my head
DOUBT!
Yeah right, why wasn’t it done already then?
Big whoop, homes will increase 25k in price.
Surging economy for whom?! the liberal elites? Yeah ok.
And the democrats had FIFTY FUCKING YEARS to codify roe v Wade but cynically fundraised off it instead. YEAH RIGHT. That’s total bullshit. If she was serious why didn’t it happen under biden and why would it magically happen under her? No, nothing would change. Just more fundraising, this dumbass spent a billion to lose an election because nobody fucking believes a word out of democrat mouths anymore for good fucking reason! Like an abusive romantic relationship where the partner constantly promises change and never delivers and then gaslights you over it. And you wonder why they’re breaking up!
Bullshit and empty promises. Democrat senator from Connecticut joe Lieberman single-handedly killed Obamacare’s public option after being bribed by the insurance companies that are headquartered in his state. He’s dead but there’s always a democrat patsy to protect the capitalists they actually represent. Sinema, Manchin, the unheard of senate parliamentarian when it came to raising the federal minimum wage. There’s always somebody democrat aligned to protect corporate donors interests and block any kind of meaningful reform.
Too little too late. See the LA wildfires for an example. We’re already cooked. The time to act was decades ago but did the democrats do anything meaningful? NO! They protected their corporate donors and the capitalist class as they always do. Schadenfreude watching the houses of the extreme wealthy burn!
The argument wasn’t whether or not people believed her. It was on whether or not they knew what the policies were.
But to deny she was the better option for Gaza is just delusion.
How many billions of dollars has the Biden admin, with Harris as VP, sent to "Israel" to commit the genocide? Quantified in both dollars and arm shipments purchased with those dollars. I'm actually asking you, please provide the numbers. And separate them by bills authorizing the amounts and sales, when applicable.
Also, for the arms sales, note whether or not they're structured to be below the threshold when Congress has to be notified of the arms sale or not (I choose the word "structuring" because this is actually a federal crime for normal people in the financial system).
Not really relevant. If you have a point then make it.
You are claiming that billions of dollars of weapons continually sent to a genocide, from the administration she was VP in, is irrelevant to whether or not she was "the better option"? The fucking mental gymnastics of watching someone be complicit in genocide and having the fucking nerve to sit there and say someone else would genocide even worse, in her DEFENSE. You people are deranged.
Of course it’s irrelevant as the argument isn’t whether or not they were aiding in it. Unless you have access to an alternative reality wherein you can see what Trump would’ve done if he were president then you have no numbers to compare to and determine the better option. It’s completely meaningless without that context.
What we do have is Trump saying he’s going to set Palestine back decades, his previous public support for the illegal settlements, him appointing an Israeli ambassador who says the West Bank shouldn’t exist, using ‘Palestinian’ as a slur, the list goes on and on.
To deny this is sheer cope because you fell for the Zionist propaganda.
To create a theory about the relative severity of genocide between two politicians, you would have to understand their motivations. Which you have utterly failed at. Your entire theory here is extrapolated based on inferring sympathy from the statements of genocidal politicians, which is just about the most unreliable source of information there is. It speaks to WILLFUL ignorance and active denial of reality.
No my theory is based on their actions, intentions, and motivations. The zionists are celebrating for a reason.
Adelson paid $20 million in exchange for moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem last cycle. His window, a megadonor for settlement development in the West Bank just donated 100m with her stated goals being Israeli annexation of the West Bank and a U.S. recognition of Israeli sovereignty in all the regions of the land. Trumps #1 donor above Musk.
and some more

Except she didn't promise any of that (not her in particular) & the 2-state solution is a farce where the Genocide will still continue & Israel will be given more priority & as for reproductive rights Never though killing unborn children was a reproductive right
Giving a woman the right to choose to abort her fetus or not is definitely a reproductive right and also a basic human right.
It's healthcare and it is not for politicians to decide when it should be between a woman and her doctor.
Huh? Many of those were her original campaign promises.
Genocide will be ramped up and concerns ignored instead of just continuing while facing increasing public scrutiny and backlash. He literally told you this. Biden was a zionist at heart but Kamala would've softened after winning. And even if she didn't. Argument isn't whether she was good for Gaza, it's that she was objectively, better than Trump.
vs
The current GOP is busy writing "finish them" on Israeli artillery shells. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/nikki-haley-writes-finish-them-israeli-artillery-shell-drawing-criticism-2024-05-29/
There is no argument for letting Trump/GOP get in if you care about Gaza. Of course they're worse.
It has ensured Palestine's erasure. We're now in the 'Greater Israel' period in U.S politics
I like how you talk more about Israel/Palestine than you do about the United States.
Priorities looking real good.
Because US has a hand in it & Also US is not the center of the universe
Lazy comment is lazy.
