The US presidential election is a toss-up between a ‘soft-on-Palestine’ Democrat whose boss has armed Israel’s genocide and an unabashedly pro-Israel Republican who doesn’t like war or war budgets.

This has led to the loss of crucial constituencies, including young voters, Arab and Muslim communities, and many progressives. Additionally, many younger and left-leaning Jewish voters “no longer see unequivocal support for Israel as a litmus test.”

While the Democratic party is well aware of this vulnerability, many wonder whether its candidate, Kamala Harris, can win back disappointed voters and bring a new approach to policy toward Gaza – at this late date.

    false equivalency

    VP is useless position then, no influence whatsoever.

    Force ceasefire and stop supporting funding of genocides, Israel is done without US backing.

      Congratulations on learning a bit of how the world works, the TV Show Veep only pointed that out explicitly, every single episode, for 6 seasons.
