    Main issue for most people is the fact that she’s not trying harder to stop Israel from killing Palestinians.

      Well, there’s not much she can do atm as vice-president. It’s very well-known that Biden is very pro-Israeli.

      Her rhetoric on the topic as a candidate has been very mixed. She’s been improving since she had that meeting with Uncommitted leaders. Hopefully she can have a better plan than “ask nicely for a ceasefire” to present to voters before the election.

        Harris said that as president, she would maintain the US alliance with Israel and “ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself.”

        To most people that sounds like she’ll keep sending weapons which will then be used to murder Palestinians.

      people need to get over the israel/palestine thing. they’re going to kill each other. there’s nothing you can do about it. your precious conscience is not the most important thing in the world. if you get bogged down on one issue, you will miss the bigger issue.
