    She can talk to them after she starts her administration.

    Not before. Saying anything about the Middle East at all is political poison to her campaign. There is nothing she can say that won’t hurt her.

    Throwing Kamala on the crucible of pro/anti Israel activism right now is self-centered narcissistic reasoning that serves nobody.

      That would make sense if she wasn’t saying anything about the genocide…

      Instead she’s running misleading videos that are edited to make it sound like she supports Gaza. While cutting out the parts about never stopping support to Israel, who have been committing a genocide in Gaza for almost a year now

      If Trump did that, we’d all call him out for lying, especially if while.doing that he refused to meet with anyone.

      Kamala is the VP and candidate for president, why wouldn’t she be able to talk to voters about America’s support of genocide?

      What other political stances isn’t she allowed to talk about?

        A president can’t really unilaterally end support for Israel, that’d have to be an act of Congress. And if any president ever did try that, they’d be eviscerated. The anti-Israel wing of the Democrats is vanishingly small, even after this Gaza war. It certainly won’t make or break this election.

          Really?

          Biden unilaterally went around Congress for an arms shipment…

          It only works one way?

          Not to mention you didn’t address a single thing I mentioned…

          I said:

          Kamala is the VP and candidate for president, why wouldn’t she be able to talk to voters about America’s support of genocide?

          And you came away with:

          A president can’t really unilaterally end support for Israel

          In what world is listening to th Dem voting base on policy preference “unilaterally end support for Israel”?

          Did you mean to reply to me?
