In her defense she did say that a couple of times:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/jul/26/kamala-harris-benjamin-netanyahu-us-visit-palestine-israel-gaza-war

But then at times she also said they wont be supporting arms embargo on Israel. Still orders of magnitude better than a lunatic who says he is a actively supporting Israel on doing whatever they want to do:

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2024/10/us-israel-trump-phone-call-netanyahu-gaza-cease-fire-2024-election.html

The fact that some people equate these two candidates based on their Gaza politics is insane.

The only people i kinda get are those with families there. But at the same time my family still voted for the shitty opposition instead of the even shittier leading party when i still lived in hungary even tho their views on trans rights was, lets say, not perfect. This of course mattered because trans rights are the first dominoes and i have a trans family member. So yeah the better option is still better than absolute chaos. Idk why this is so hard to get.

I get that they are angry (rightfully) at the world at doing jackshit against genocide but still on a practical level they are not helping against a party whose supporters think that the middle east should be bombed out of existence. At least many of the democrat supporters are joining weapon embargo and anti war rallies and they will have more power against the government if it’s the Democrats.

Kind of a day late dollar short scenario

I mean I already voted for Harris because I don’t wanna die in a Trump Brand Concentration Camp, but, she really couldn’t have said this any fucking sooner?

She had to wait until the day before the election so that AIPAC doesn’t have enough time to ratfuck her for it.

Unfortunately, that’s how things work here if you’re critical of Israel in any way.

Instead the majority of people who oppose genocide have seen how she has continued to pledge her support. They have seen how children, women and men have been blown to shreds and burned alive with weapons the Biden-Harris administration has sent.

This reeks more of a desperate attempt to peddle to voters now that she realizes genocide is indeed a red line for some voters

I really don’t want you people to have to find out the hard way just how fucking stupid all of this anti-Harris shit is so close to the election.

Because that would mean that millions of Palestinians would be killed when the current genocide is turned up to 11 after President Trump gives Netanyahu a blank check. I really don’t want that. Stop trying to get Trump elected please.

She isn’t personally doing the genocide, so it’s not like she can stop it. All she can do is call for it to end.

Trump Brand Concentration Camp is very apt. It succinctly expresses that the whole thing exists only for his personal monetary gain and he’s escalating to extremes for his grift.

I don’t know. Election day is tomorrow (Technically today as I’m typing). For sure late, but maybe not too late.

Yeah, but most votes don’t happen early. She’s also said this before. It’s not the first time.

Just lie, these assholes don’t really care. -US politicians.

What is even the point of doing anything you promise. Just look at all the shit donald trump didn’t do and the toughest questions he had to answer was what his hair routine is.

Nah, it would have just kicked the can down the road, leading to accusations that promises mean nothing. UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml is already doing so a post or two below you.

But yeah, she should have said that from the start.

Biden sure said a lot of things, but how much did he actually do?

Presidents are not kings. Congress is still required for much of the government to function and Republicans are determined to dismantle it instead so it benefits only the rich and corporations.
