Why is it that when Donald Trump claims to be a leftist— draining the swamp, helping manufacturing, creating the best healthcare— none of his right-wing supporters believe he’ll betray them? But as soon as Kamala Harris says anything appeasing to the right, leftist supporters believe she’s sold her soul? Can’t Harris use appeasement and subterfuge to win an election and then do something different? Why is that only Donald Trump’s coalition privilege?

I’m just speaking for myself here but every day it’s harder for me with her. It’s not her trying to appeal to the right by itself. It’s bringing Dick Cheney into the fold in the context of how little she’s done to do the same for people further on the left. Especially where Gaza is concerned. The gestures don’t have to be grand but they are glaringly absent

Kamala Harris has met with the Uncommitted movement and recognizes the need for a ceasefire. Beyond that, what would you have her do?

Lmao 🤦🏽‍♂️ Sorry I don't mean to be snarky but Uncommitted is already the most centrist (and smaller) part of the anti-genocide wing, and is heavily criticized by more progressives. And she doesn't give any concession to even them. Do you know the level of destruction done on Palestinian people? Ceasefire would cut it in November 2023 with a hostage deal (which was what was proposed by Hamas after Israel already killed thousands). Also these vague ceasefire proposals ignore the systemic issues caused by the US itself on the region.

I get that you pretend to care about this one thing. Too bad you are so wrapped up in your own purity blanket to see how much your voter suppression tactics could hurt the Palestinian movement so much more than a vote for a politician who could actually do something positive in office.
