    I’ve already voted for her, but I don’t believe her.

    This is a vague plea for peace without any indication of what things she believes (and more importantly, publicly acknowledges) would be “in her power”. Is the limit of her power sternly worded letters, arms embargoes, or intervention? Because I’m pretty sue she’s not opening the door for US peacekeeping troops in Gaza, though that would be in her power (at least for a short term).

    But like, with Harris we get to see if she’s willing to do anything meaningful, and maybe as public sentiment continues to turn against Israel she’ll be embarrassed enough to do something. It’s not a hopeful position to shoot for, but it is technically better than the alternative, and there other issues at play where the difference is not so limited.

      The campaign has been changing its tone depending on audience. In places like Michigan they’re doing this, but outside seing districts they’ve been banging the war drums for Israel.

      So the lack of faith in the messaging isn’t without warrant.

        Yes, it’s this shady practice called, “campaigning”.

        • No disagreement that the campaign is, in fact, doing the campaigning thing.

          A good campaign presents their intended policies consistently and favorably. It sells the electorate on casting their vote.

          A poor campaign favorably presents inconsistent policies in a vague manner. It erodes faith in what the electorate is voting for.

        Yes specifically when they think her ads in different states with different messaging are not going to be shown around.

        She represent the regular two faced career politician, which should work in regular election, but the Israel genocidal work in Gaza and war crimes expose these politician.

            This is just a stupid take because almost all news agency are own by someone trying to push different agenda.

              No other “news agency” had to legally argue in court that they are an entertainment-only product and no reasonable person would take their “reporting” as fact. Like a broken watch, they might sometimes be correct, but they are literally propaganda.
