    At this point, claiming she’s a pro-Palestinian candidate is about as rational as claiming Trump is pro-Ukrainian.

    I just wanna take this a step further and say it’s actually less rational.

    What Trump is talking about is stopping aid to Ukraine, something which he had previously supported and delivered on.

    What Harris isn’t talking about is stopping aid to the people killing Palestinians, a position that she has never supported.

    Of course I’m not actually saying Trump is actually pro-Ukraine. But if I had to choose one, I’d have an easier time defending that claim than the idea that Kamala is pro-Palestine because at least I’d have something material to work with.

      Why would you do this, yet completely ignore what Trump will do in Palestine and what Harris will do in Ukraine? Why is one only important for the one candidate, and the other for the other?

      Trump will stop aid to Ukraine, and, as he has already said, will give Netanyahu carte blanche to eliminate the Palestinian people in Gaza.

      Harris will continue to aid Ukraine, and has not taken a clear position on Israel/Palestine (because, if she did, she would 100% lose this election), but at the very least, has called for a cease-fire.

      Get out of here with this dishonest bullshit.

        Nothing I said was remotely dishonest.

        Why would you do this, yet completely ignore what Trump will do in Palestine and what Harris will do in Ukraine?

        Because that’s not relevant to the specific point being discussed. The comparison was Harris on Palestine vs Trump on Israel. Y’all might expect people to constantly pay homage to your candidate to signal that we’re on your side or whatever, even when it’s not relevant, but I have no interest in doing so.

        Why is one only important for the one candidate, and the other for the other?

        I’m not voting for either or telling anyone to vote for either so this is nonsense. Trump is obviously not a good candidate and you shouldn’t vote for him.

        Harris will continue to aid Ukraine, and has not taken a clear position on Israel/Palestine

        Absolutely false. Harris has been completely clear that she agrees with Biden’s policy of unconditional military aid to Israel.
