... "Israel has a right to defend itself. And how it does so matters," Harris told reporters after the meeting. She said she raised her serious concerns about the scale of human suffering in Gaza.

"I made clear my serious concern about the dire humanitarian situation there," she said. "I will not be silent."

Harris' remarks, which were sharp and serious in tone, reflected what could be a shift from President Joe Biden in how she deals with Netanyahu. ...

Bullying by whom?

And, fwiw, my current view is that as a fmr AG of California, anyone trying to bully her has a high wall to climb.

That said, what's yer got?

How much of her war chest money is AIPAC? Is she AIPAC Approved?

That tells more about her actions later if she wins.

AIPAC hated Bernie.

Actions, not words.

If she is successfully coerced into picking virulent Zionist Shapiro as VP (as the Empire Managers want her to), the ticket is doomed. Gen Z is too savvy and informed to fall for it. Harris/Kelly I'd consider voting for. Kelly/Harris? Definitely. Harris/Shapiro? No ------- way in hell.

As always, it is easier to judge the intentions of the American Empire based on the similarities of the past presidential administrations, not their differences. And the similarities over the past 25 years show an inordinate influence by Israel-aligned politicians and advisors.

Shapiro is highly popular in his critical swing state and could bring those on the fence in the entire rustbelt with him.

If you dont think Harris/Shapiro would be a better choice than trump/vance you have some serious mental failings.

Methinks Josh Shapiro may bring in a swing state for Kamala, but cost her votes elsewhere.
There were at least two student anti-Israeli demonstrations in Pennsylvania this year: Drexel Univ. and UPenn (which he had ordered disbanded). Other states had more college protests.

Ignoring the young pro-Palestinian electorate wouldn't be wise and Kamala has other choices. The VPOTUS liaison team at Capitol Hill can inform Kamala how many emails and calls Dems receive about Israeli brutality.

The right wing was giving Harris grief about not being in congress for this fascist's speech but I noticed Vance a sitting member of congress did not make it either much less the fat orange blob of excrement hair Fuher. There is no shame in the right wing media machine...

"Gen Z is too savvy and informed to fall for it." Hardly! These young people live and die by what their cel phone feeds them and ignore the fact that they are being seduced by algorithms that feed them what they wish to hear. Which is mainly Iran/Al Qaeda/ISIS/Hamass/Taliban talking points of cutting the heads off of Americans, Christians, gays and transgender folks and especially Jews. Sure there is two large sects of Shia and Sunni Moslems that hate each other's guts but those hatreds of the Westerners and Jews bring them together.

If you can name a democrat gov in a swing state with nearly or more many votes as PA I'd like to hear their name.

Better for what? Israel? The weapons industry? People who feel lost and unsafe? Depends on what you see is a better choice. Sometimes, burning things down is the choice your forced into, rather being forced accept an untenable status quo. The Chinese figured that out during the Second Sino-Japanese War. It isn't sedition if you choose to stand back and watch both sides set each other on fire.

Hopefully, those farseeing Democrats will figure things out and choose their candidates and advisors wisely.

OK, Gramps. Now go back to your geritol-fueled reminisces how great things were in the good old days back in the 20th century when a 100 million people were killed in wars that people like you had a hand in starting.

Better for all forms of life on earth.

Burning down the planet to teach democrats a lesson about not being perfect enough is the strategy of a moron with nothing to lose. Some of our lives aren't so ------ that we are willing to kamikaze the world to teach everyone a lesson.

Your shortsighted, American exceptionalism, though expected, is noted.

Like I mentioned earlier, if the Democrats pick Shapiro the Democrats will lose. It doesn't matter what any establishment Democrat lackey says, they will lose.

Time will tell if they want to light a fire or defuse one. Its their choice, not mine.
