It is unfortunate. The uncommitted had low bar requests that Harris could have verbally acknowledge without any true commitments and that still was too much.
During negotiations with the DNC and the Harris campaign, we were repeatedly told by interlocutors that Harris couldn’t meet any of our basic requests (a policy shift from Biden, a Palestinian speaker at the DNC, a statement distinguishing herself from Trump on Israel, or even a meeting with Michigan families who lost loved ones to Israeli bombs) because of AIPAC-aligned politicians like Fetterman, who might take to TV, rile up suburban white and Jewish voters, and fracture the party’s coalition in a swing state.
Yes. As my other comment mentioned, DNC both from pro Israel ideology, and “party unity”, needed to support the genocide, and other swing states were at stake. Fetterman now supportive of Trump is icing on the cake.
