Liberals are downvoting this post so hard. they don't like talking about how Harris is just as establishment compatible as Biden is. and how she will carry on with his genocidal policies.

Vote Blue no matter have no morals

They're in the honeymoon phase still. I really hope she beats Trump but damn, once she has to start talking off script and doing debates... yikes. It's going to be rocky.

[–] Soulg@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No I doubt it, just more of the same of people like you being angry she's not perfect enough

The bar is "Don't accept money from genociders to stay neutral or give arms to the genociders."

Trump fails it 24/7, now Harris is.

I mean. If she wants to keep following what Biden was doing then Donald Trump will win. Maybe listen to the protestors once in a while, since they have the power to make or break your presidency. Not saying that what the protestors were doing wasn’t rude, but the point of protesting is to enact change so maybe make your policy clear and make sure it’s the right one.

Trending on Musk network, spread by tankies.

How about this, which none of you propaganda bots failed to mention:

Before her rally in Detroit, Vice President Kamala Harris spoke briefly with the co-founders of the Uncommitted National Movement, which mobilized tens of thousands of voters in Michigan to withhold their votes from President Biden in the primary earlier this year over his support for Israel’s war in Gaza. Abbas Alawieh and Layla Elabed said they were in the welcoming line for Harris and Governor Walz, and communicated to Harris that they wanted to support her but that voters wanted her to consider an arms embargo to immediately stop the carnage in the besieged enclave.”

Harris listened to stories of people in Michigan who have had dozens of family members killed in Gaza. The leaders asked to meet with her about the embargo request, and she indicated she was open to it, and introduced the two leaders to her staff.

Wait, I know why you didn't add that, because you don't give a damn about Palestine.

Watch out, you're going to piss off the neoliberals! Influx of bad arguments based on false dichotomies in 3...2...1...

[–] return2ozma@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

This really says it all...

[–] dan1101@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago

That's fair, people are there to listen to Harris not whatever random audience members can shout the loudest.

[–] RozhkiNozhki@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Took me too long to realize ozma is truly a concern troll. Rooting for Harris while shitting on Biden, now shitting on Harris like they didn't endorse her just recently. Blocked.

[–] queue@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"Genocide is bad, and I want to criticize those who stand by and let it happen."

"Erm, concern trolling much?!"

[–] RozhkiNozhki@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you look at other threads about the same news piece she had a meeting with the uncommitted about Gaza prior to her rally. Who's ignoring who?

[–] queue@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The person saying "Don't publicly criticze me, I will agree behind doors where the press and public can't see it. The public don't need to see me make public statements that murder is bad."

[–] RozhkiNozhki@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She's quite vocal about her position on Gaza. What do you want her to do exactly? She can let these people shout all they want and this will help how?

[–] queue@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

And it's better to tell them to shut up? Fuck your right to question the government?

What this hack piece of news failed to report:

I wish my fellow leftists would realize that protests like these don't work. We don't further our cause by alienating ourselves from the political mainstream. We need to be concerned with the efficacy of our actions, not only the justification for them. Having good intentions is not enough, we also need effective strategies.

[–] TylerDurdenJunior@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah. Gaslighting and threatening concerned citizens protesting a live streamed genocide is totally acceptable
