It might sound like I'm having a pop, but I'm just trying to understand the mindset.
Do you think that a voter's campaign is going to change the US policy of having an "interest" in the region; a strategic position in the MIddle East? You think a populist that didn't even win enough delegates in her own state in her election bid has the ability to change anything or go against what her donors say when THEY have the interest in Israel??
This is beyond Biden and his 'racism'. What does it say about a US public that chooses to vote in racists, then? It says the MSM funded by the 0.01% gives the public binary choices of who they'd 'prefer'.
Harris does what she can (and has in the past) to get into positions of power.
No worries I don’t think you are taking unfair shots at me.
I think enough pressure will be put on Kamala to make her change course.
Leaks from the administration particularly from people who have resigned from the State Department because of the war in Gaza have stated that Harris is a lot more emphatic to Palestinian lives than anyone in the Biden administration. I know that isn’t really saying much but it is promising. According to more leaks, the people she will have as part of her national security team will not be neo cons like Sullivan, Matt Miller, Blinken, and Brett McGurk which will be a big step up from a very low bar.
I know these changes are very minor but it leaves a lot to be hopeful about in my opinion. Like I said all the Harris administration will have to do is follow the laws already on the books and stop running cover for Israel.
I think the fact that Harris is a “squishy” standard Democrat means she isn’t going to tank her administration for Israel. Sure, she’s taken Israel lobby money and is just as pro Israel as any standard Democrat but it’s obvious the party has moved. Half of Democrats including herself boycott Netanyahu’s speech. And in my opinion there won’t be another Dem president as pro Israel as Biden.
The fact of the matter is the general Democrat electorate especially is already ready for these measures to be taken but as you put it the MSM and powers that be want to still pretend the public would be against it when data shows otherwise. People like Pelosi have even signed letters to Biden saying they endorse conditioning aide as well.
Unfortunately Kamala Harris has at the moment little room to maneuver but in my opinion if this war goes and as it has then she will be eventually be forced to break away from Biden because this level of support is unsustainable in her coalition.
