    Let’s talk about Harris’s policy other than Israel. What do you disagree with? It must be a considerable amount if you’re making this comparison, so let’s discuss it.

    • Small business economic injection?
    • Healthcare cost reductions?
    • Tax cuts for the lower/middle class, tax increases for the ultra-rich?
    • Social Security / Medicare boosts?
    • Decriminalizing marijuana?
    • Not implementing disastrous tariffs on foreign trade?
    • Rent caps and first-time-homebuyer funds?
    • Abortion rights?
    • Combating corporate price fixing?
    • Student debt relief and school funding?
    • Child care assistance?
    • Support for Ukraine?
    • Tighter gun laws?
    • Green energy?

      Honestly, I’m Absolutely convinced the rhetoric surrounding Palestine in this election is 100% astroturfing by any of the various groups that are incentivized to undermine not just a democratic candidate, but democracy as a whole

      It’s just such a reductionist rhetorical standpoint that offers zero actual solutions to anything at all.

        Completely with you here. “I know Trump would be worse for the issue I purport to be the most important to me, but I can’t bring myself to vote for the better of two realistic options because she’s not perfect, so I’m voting for Jill Stein.” It’s completely nonsensical, and honestly, I have zero respect for anyone who would actually knowingly make that decision.

      But has Harris simulated oral sex in public?

      If you want a candidate that represents you and will simulate oral sex in front of children, there’s only one candidate to pick.

        My brother in Christ no one is defending Trump here. You can criticize Kamala without supporting Trump.

          I made a joke and you are going, “Both sides bad.”

      i find it hard to talk about someone’s policies other than gleefully supporting and arming a genocide… everything else is small potatoes….
      like when she pretended like protesters were antisemitic and not anti-genocide… released a long statement just completely ignoring why they were there….
      biden bypassed congress to give them more weapons….
      they also helped fight the genocide in Ukraine… trump would help the israel genocide, russia’s genocide… and then get pretty genocidal with latinos in america… so i’m puking while voting for harris… no need to convert me….

      it’s not just cereal i don’t like though

        I’m glad you’re at least willing to see what’s worse. Maybe we’ll be pleasantly surprised by her policies regarding Isreal-- I did hear recently that only 17% of Israelis want Harris, vs (I think it was) 63% for Trump and his “finish the job” rhetoric. So if Israel hates her, that’s probably a good sign.

        I disagree. It’s all small potatoes compared to climate policy; if we don’t address that, Israel, Palestine, Russia and Ukraine will be fucked, as will all the rest of us. Trump is markedly worse there, so really, it should be no contest.

        Look, I get the outcry over this issue, but here’s the thing: Biden isn’t Kamala, and all of this rhetoric is acting like she is. Additionally, Congress passes the budgets that determine where this aid goes, not the president. Furthermore, it’s obviously a hotbutton issue on both sides and chances are she and her team of professionals analyzed the chances of she denounces Israel vs. doing what she’s doing, and determined they’d be better if she took this stance. While I agree that I’d rather see a stronger denouncement of Israel, really, what I actually want is for Trump to lose this election, and any course of action that has the greatest chance of making that happen, I am in favor of.
