Yes, if she was actually innocent she would have been pushing to have Biden removed from office via the 25th Amendment so that she could take over his job and end the genocide as soon as possible. She’s a careerist and would never dare risk her own political career for something like that, so instead she’s meekly following along and making small gestures without committing.
But, even a careerist could see the benefits of being the US president that ended support for apartheid and genocide.
Don’t get me wrong, my expectations for US politicians are really low. It’s not like I’m donating money to her or anything, I’m just going to take a little bit of time to mail in a ballot because she might be less genocidal than Biden or Trump.
She’s not standing up against the genocide as Vice, but she literally hasn’t actually done anything to advance it either.
And that’s my red line - no doing genocide.
She will do more marginally reasonable rhetoric about Palestinian suffering while the material policy of 100% support for Israel will not be changed in the slightest. She wouldn’t have been the pick otherwise.
There’s a limit to how much she can push rhetoric before it causes a fundamental break within US society. Already we’re seeing unprecedented criticism of Israel and support for Palestinian resistance among USians, and the more she pays lip service to voters on this issue the starker the contradictions become between her words and her actions.
That’s not a bad result at all.
I think you’re going to need more than hope and guessing to make the case for California’s top cop being in any way interested in stopping the genocide
