      I mean. If she wants to keep following what Biden was doing then Donald Trump will win. Maybe listen to the protestors once in a while, since they have the power to make or break your presidency. Not saying that what the protestors were doing wasn’t rude, but the point of protesting is to enact change so maybe make your policy clear and make sure it’s the right one.

          Trending on Musk network, spread by tankies.

          How about this, which none of you propaganda bots failed to mention:

          Before her rally in Detroit, Vice President Kamala Harris spoke briefly with the co-founders of the Uncommitted National Movement, which mobilized tens of thousands of voters in Michigan to withhold their votes from President Biden in the primary earlier this year over his support for Israel’s war in Gaza. Abbas Alawieh and Layla Elabed said they were in the welcoming line for Harris and Governor Walz, and communicated to Harris that they wanted to support her but that voters wanted her to consider an arms embargo to immediately stop the carnage in the besieged enclave.”

          Harris listened to stories of people in Michigan who have had dozens of family members killed in Gaza. The leaders asked to meet with her about the embargo request, and she indicated she was open to it, and introduced the two leaders to her staff.

          Wait, I know why you didn’t add that, because you don’t give a damn about Palestine.

          But the important thing here is that you now have a way to discourage people from voting for Harris just like you had a way to discourage people from voting for Biden.

          Anything but stop the rapist dictator from marching all the Latino and queer people into camps.

            Clearly criticism for a candidate has no other purpose than getting people to vote for their opponents.

            /d

            Oh wait, that’s actually true if you live in the United States, where you lot play politics like team sports.

              Or… R2O spent months posting article after article about why people shouldn’t vote for Biden and is now doing it again with Harris. And not even really hiding it.

                And I was 100% correct. I said they will replace him for months prior. Look what happened. Biden is out.

                Still vote for Kamala/Walz but I’m saying if she keeps up this “clap back” shit against voters with valid concerns… she’ll lose battleground states. She needs every vote she can earn. She can’t afford to lose voters.

    I wish my fellow leftists would realize that protests like these don’t work. We don’t further our cause by alienating ourselves from the political mainstream. We need to be concerned with the efficacy of our actions, not only the justification for them. Having good intentions is not enough, we also need effective strategies.

    Took me too long to realize ozma is truly a concern troll. Rooting for Harris while shitting on Biden, now shitting on Harris like they didn’t endorse her just recently. Blocked.

        If you look at other threads about the same news piece she had a meeting with the uncommitted about Gaza prior to her rally. Who’s ignoring who?

          The person saying “Don’t publicly criticze me, I will agree behind doors where the press and public can’t see it. The public don’t need to see me make public statements that murder is bad.”

            She’s quite vocal about her position on Gaza. What do you want her to do exactly? She can let these people shout all they want and this will help how?

    Liberals are downvoting this post so hard. they don’t like talking about how Harris is just as establishment compatible as Biden is. and how she will carry on with his genocidal policies.

      They’re in the honeymoon phase still. I really hope she beats Trump but damn, once she has to start talking off script and doing debates… yikes. It’s going to be rocky.

          The bar is “Don’t accept money from genociders to stay neutral or give arms to the genociders.”

          Trump fails it 24/7, now Harris is.

    Well… I was wondering how long it would take you to go from posting anti-Biden articles to anti-Harris articles.

    Looks like it only took a couple of weeks.

      It’s from a very reputable news source, NBC News. Many other outlets are covering it too. They did an entire segment with pundits discussing it on CNN. It’s still a big issue that can’t be swept under the rug

      Here’s the CNN segment: https://youtu.be/jfyfdThTZ88

        Yes, the story is fine. The way it is being spun by you and the original source you provided is not.

        You don’t care that she spoke to the protesters before the rally began. You only care that she shut them down when they interrupted the rally.
