This only makes sense regarding the line on Gaza, and even then it’s not true. Biden is having a hard time restraining Israel, that’s true, but under the other guy there wouldn’t be any attempt at restraint at all. This is why Arab Americans for Harris-Walz and Emgage Action are endorsing Harris, and even Uncommitted is encouraging votes for Harris without an explicit endorsement.
I think the “civil liberties” thing is the Democratic position of arresting Gaza protestors who are trespassing and vandalizing, then releasing them with no or minimal charges:
Ah, that makes sense. I can see how someone would be upset at what they view as an unfair arrest (even if there are no charges afterwards) but yeah, there’s no real comparison to the other side.
Exactly this.

Again, you’d have to be a stone cold idiot to not see the differences here.
