    It was a lackluster interview. No she’s definitely nowhere as near to the bad that trump is. No weird shit. No ego shit. No I hate abortion and am glad I got it banned and I love abortion and will defend it, in the same damn breath, but not great like their honeymoon period.

    Normal, disappointing political sideways speak, vapid, including repetition on what’s already been said which always makes the bullshit sensors tingle due to the utter avoidance factor involved. On fucking repeat.

    Dead moderate, definite overlap with pre-Trump Republican stuff.

    Like no fracking ban. Specified in the interview. Granted, she needs all of Pennsylvania to win this, and it’s a fracking industry state. (I know, not a topic people have had room for in their brains lately but there it is popping up once again.)

    Israel. The they should be able to defend themselves but we need to establish a ceasefire stance. Bernie talks about it better, in a Hassan Minaj interview. (Essentially, B says the current govt is heavily influenced by its own far right faction which is pushing for genocide). K repeats over and over that they can continue to defend themselves with our support but we need to establish a ceasefire, which isn’t elaborated on further. (We are steeped in colonialism over here, as was recently pointed out, so is it any surprise we are here now with Israel’s colonialism? Would any of us be all that surprised if there’s suddenly Palestinian reservations over there as the “two state” solution? But I digress.)

    Walz sidestepped his drunk driving charge and shook his head over splitting hairs on which fertility treatment was received. And repeated the bit on how he’d never question another man’s military service. But it was mostly Harris talking.

    Essentially, it was like a bullet list of all the things people were questioning on the Harris Walz campaign, in a bullet list format by the interviewer. Like homework almost, homework grudgingly completed at a C+ level.

    Still voting for them, but it’s not great. It’s a gender war, this election, so for my own future and that of my spawn I have to vote Harris.

        And how does she intend to achieve that when she intends to continue to give Israel everything they want while they continue to build illegal settlements in the west bank and destroy Gaza’s infrastructure making a two-state solution seem increasingly impossible? She’s lying to you.

          It would cause a massive problem if she, the current vice president, were to say she disagrees with her boss’s current stance on Israel. Unless someone can convince Biden (unlikely) or Congress (impossible) to modify their stance she basically has to toe the line.

          I’m not saying she wouldn’t keep doing the same shit as president, she probably would, but I haven’t lost hope that she could put the screws to Netanyahu if she wins. Especially if democrats win Congress as well.

          If there’s one thing these people understand, it’s approval ratings and Netanyahu is in the tank. He is prolonging the war to fight for his political life and possibly his personal freedom.

        No, she’s not, you can’t be sending weapons to the guys who made a two state solution completely non-viable and say you’re for it.

          Liberals: hahah here’s another $20bil of bombs. Oh we’re anti genocide btw

          Like, libs, you’ve gotta stop embarrassing yourselves like this. Come up with something better.

          I know bald faced lies work perfectly on the average liberal but this is just getting pathetic.
