    3rd party voters: “I’m not voting for Harris until she condemns the Gaza war!”

    Harris: *says she condemns the Gaza war*

    3rd party voters: *desperate scrambling sounds to find something else to be a single issue contrarian*


    I’m really hoping I’m wrong about that, but I’m seeing it on this thread.

    Apparently no one in the comments has been paying attention. She’s been saying these same lines about Gaza since the convention speech.

      There’s been a lot of FUD about it and .ml has been running wild denying anything even remotely pro peace from her.

      At any rate literally all we need at this point is a president that tells Netanyahu he either accepts a negotiated return of remaining hostages and withdraws or he loses our weapons support.

      But Biden is also doing his best to pump up their ammo supply so the next president actually doesn’t have the influence Biden could have had. It’s 2024 and I’m ashamed we didn’t learn from supporting South Africa and Iran into the flames. They’ve been shamelessly giving Israel our best military technology with no regard to their political situation. College students called this as the most likely path 2 decades ago, and here we are appearing to be caught by surprise.

        Fun fact, there’s a 2008 law that specifically forces the president to give Israel all the best military hardware.

        It was passed by W on his way out the door, and due to the Democratic party being compromised as hell, there’s never been enough votes to get rid of it, and any time the president might want to hold things back, they get sued under that law.
