    Really like the implication people are making here that the DNC clearly does not care about the amount of constituents in the uncommitted group because they think enough voters will vote against Trump.

    ie we get genocide either way

    yeah I’m so excited to vote this November…

      With Trump the genocide will continue until all Palestinians in the Gaza strip are dead and the West Bank is annexed. With Harris we get a ceasefire.

      I could not be more excited with the option to the stop the genocide.

        What makes you think that will happen lol? I think someone here even counted the days it took from Biden dropping out to Harris answering the question over Gaza which was “We will continue to support Israel against foreign threats”, ie the same policy as Biden.

        She also ignored pretty much all of the protests that occurred at some of her campaign rallies, so I think it’s safe to assume nothing will improve.

          Trump wants to deport protesters and arrest people who burn the American flag. Harris seems content with keeping the 1st amendment rights of America’s roughly where it is right now.

          Frankly I’d rather organize and mobilize under Harris than trump

          Harris met with the Uncommitted Movement. The Uncommitted Movement endorsed Harris in the speech they released to Mother Jones. Harris isn’t a life long zionist like Biden. Harris picked Tim Walz over a zionist like Josh Shapiro for VP.

          Supporting Israel against Iran doesn’t mean allowing Israel to commit genocide in Gaza.

          She already commented on the scale of the suffering in Gaza saying it was heartbreaking during the DNC.

          It’s safe to assume things will improve.

            Yeah, and then she denied them from making said speech at the DNC rally.

            An endorsement in a speech that never happened is practically moot, even the Mother Jones article makes this abundantly clear. If anything, this could easily backfire and keep the uncommitted movement from voting.

            Supporting Israel against Iran doesn’t mean allowing Israel to commit genocide in Gaza.

            Unconditionally sending weapons and continuing to give Israel a free pass, even with the antics they play with Iran, is not going to prevent the genocide.

            She already commented on the scale of the suffering in Gaza saying it was heartbreaking during the DNC.

            Any indication of the past 10 moths, if not the past several decades of relations with Israel, should show you this comment means jack shit. Biden said the same thing multiple times, and it took him 5 months until he quietly admitted Israel might have just possibly used weapons incorrectly and caused innocent deaths by mistake.

            Playing up Gaza as a two sided humanitarian crisis, and then blocking anyone on the Palestinian side from talking about it, and then allowing some Israelis to talk about Hamas, is very clear message on her policy. She doesn’t care, she never will.

            Even pretending to make it seem like her campaign was interested was just a farce to gain voters and support. This was a massive “fuck you” from the campaign to the uncommitted movement and anyone involved who thought she would change her policy on Israel.

            If SE Michigan was smart enough to figure out Hillary was a scumbag, they sure as hell aren’t going to fall for a liar pretending to care about stopping an active genocide. That state is going to end up red this year.
