JULY 25, 2024
Statement by Vice President Kamala Harris
Yesterday, at Union Station in Washington, D.C. we saw despicable acts by unpatriotic protestors and dangerous hate-fueled rhetoric.
I condemn any individuals associating with the brutal terrorist organization Hamas, which has vowed to annihilate the State of Israel and kill Jews. Pro-Hamas graffiti and rhetoric is abhorrent and we must not tolerate it in our nation.
I condemn the burning of the American flag. That flag is a symbol of our highest ideals as a nation and represents the promise of America. It should never be desecrated in that way.
I support the right to peacefully protest, but let’s be clear: Antisemitism, hate and violence of any kind have no place in our nation.
lol there goes my support
Fooled me with missing that speech ngl
The person, a leading presidential candidate and current vice president, skipping the meeting says a lot more than a statement put out by her staff.
No, she planned to meet with him privately. she wasn’t skipping the speech out of moral principal, she just had a prior obligation
Well I guess I’ll take yours and Jewishinsider.com’s word for it.
According to ABC News “Harris pushes cease-fire after Netanyahu meets with her, Biden separately”
She planned to meet with him privately. she wasn’t skipping the speech out of moral principal, she just had a prior obligation
You know what, nah. Fuck you Kamala, I’m writing in a socialist.
Had my vote for about 3 seconds.
Jesus, we kicked Biden out because he was supporting Israel. Is she really going full-swing into loosing support of the people?
We need to demand that she steps down.
You didn’t KICK him out… He still likely would have won tbh. But Kamala is a better fit. People are excited for the first time
And demand she steps down? You’re not asking her to step down, you’re seemingly trying to let Trump win… Because he will if she does.
And if trump wins, the consequences will be dire… Worldwide… It will be a return to bigotry, anti-environment and he’s already given hints that he’ll try to extend his term to be permanent…
With him on charge, we might as well give up on global warming and accept it… It’s REALLY bad.
Based on everything I’ve seen, Kamala will likely fight for the people… Not for herself. There is so much more else going on, and despite this, I believe she’ll do an amazing job
Nah, I want someone who can actually beat Trump. Hilary lost because she was too far right. Harris will loose because she was too far right.
We need someone who will actually meet the demands of the younger generation (West, Sanders, AOC, etc). Otherwise Trump will win.
Learn from history.
People don’t see her as far right… because she’s really not conservative at all…
At least imho.
The problem with someone like AOC is that they’ll instantly brand her as too young
I’m going to avoid the low hanging fruit of you taking the credit for Biden for the sake of Palestine and try to appeal to your sense of reason. This war in Palestine,like so many others around the world, is NOT something you get to vote on. Isreal is a near century old institution fully backed by the U.S. government. The vested money that goes into the continuing strife in the middle East has corrupted EVERY political candidate that has come to the forefront of U.S. politics. You won’t find a candidate out there that will openly oppose Israel.
There are a few socialist and anti-war parties running in the US, like the party for socialism and liberation, the green party, and a few others.

here’s one that got blocked by the dnc twice
perhaps it’s not the candidates but rather the dnc or, atleast, a select few that won’t allow these candidates to have a real chance.
we kicked Biden out because he was supporting Israel
Nah, the wealthy donors kicked him out because they lost confidence in him, ostensibly because of his health. They don’t respond to the needs and opinions of their subjects.
Is she really going full-swing into loosing support of the people?
All day, because your support doesn’t matter to the rulers and their paymasters.
We need to demand that she steps down.
Sure, but again your demands don’t matter to the rulers and their paymasters.
Are you not following the news? The huge uncommitted movement started the call for him to step down.
Remember folks, you can write anyone in you want!
Fuxk the two party regime, vote third party, deny them legitimacy
we already had him once. it was about as shiti as the rest of them lol
democrats should learn how to run a campaign if they want the vote. not trump is not a platform.
So much better than the other guy, though. Writing in a candidate will be fun for some people, but I’m choosing to vote for someone who 1) can win and 2) won’t strip away freedoms in the name of religion.
Democrats seem very eager to re-elect blue-flavored genocide. I’m very glad you feel so excited about her chances to win. I think the Palestinian children getting headshot by Israelis will be overjoyed to hear about the freedoms you will enjoy.
Correct our regime supports this genocide.
Gaza residents will be exterminated but we don’t have to feed two party system.
Whataboutism adds nothing to the conversation and fails to address the criticism being discussed.
There’s people in this thread saying “well then I’m gonna write in a socialist”
This isn’t whataboutism, this is actual existential threat to this country and the stability of all the countries we send our military to. Kamala Harris’ comments on the anti-genocide protest are wholly unacceptable and present the overall message as Pro-HAMAS, which it distinctly isn’t, but we do still have to think about which piece of shit benefits most from writing in someone who cannot win in a first past the post election
The US hasn’t had democracy for at least 40 years. The owner class decide who we are allowed to elect (the money filter). The elected enact the policies that the owner class want.
Here is a tweet from Bernie from today:
Lina Khan, Chair of the FTC, pushed to get the non-compete agreement ban passed. Reid Hoffman is the Dem’s version of Peter Thiel. He paid Harris $7 million so she will fire Khan and reinstate non-compete agreements once elected.
Results from a 2014 Princeton study that took data from nearly 2000 public opinion surveys over a 20 year span and compared it to the policies that ended up becoming law.
“The preferences of the average American appear to have only a miniscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy.”

The corporate duopoly bought and paid for the government a long time ago. The only solution is a united front based along class lines (working class vs owner class). Everything else is a distraction.
Fucking hope this site is in no way representative of the voting population, because Jesus Christ.
That, or all the “I’m totally a progressive that suddenly learned about Gaza last week and refuse to vote for Biden because of it” astroturfing is shifting their gears to Harris.
They were looking for a new unified attack vector, and then she went and said this and they realized they could just keep doing the same old tired shit.
Reminder: if you give a single shit about Palestine or the people who live there, you will do everything you can to prevent Trump and down ballot Republicans from winning. At all costs.
If you can’t see the forest for the trees, you’re gonna find out real quick what happens in Gaza when Trump wins. Assuming you actually give a shit about those people and aren’t just using them as political pawns to try to change the sentiment regarding Kamala Harris.
