I wasn’t expecting anything Earth-shattering coming out of this given that everyone at Fox News was salivating for fresh meat. Problem is, not having a straight answer for anything now becomes the narrative.
This was not a great look for either of them (as little time as Walz got).
If you haven’t seen it, links below:
I found that there were a couple questions I would have preferred very straight answers to, but she knows she doesn’t have the time in that interview to go in-depth on any one topic and anything in the Middle East is always an extremely complex topic to debate.
I’ll still vote for her and she’ll likely win. Assuming you’re an American citizen, if you want to vote for Trump, that’s your right, but you will be voting for a convicted felon, whose policies are limited to “dictators love me” and “my crowd size is bigger” and “I’m not weird, they’re weird.”
I’d rather have an adult in the White House, personally.
Is a capable, genocidal adult better than a petulant child?
First, I don’t condone sending arms to Israel or any country or group that is intent on eradication of others. Israel is run by a shit leader.
Second, Hamas is also at fault.
Third, you damn well know if Trump had been in office, shit would be even worse in the Middle East.
So stop trying to make this a single issue election — it’s not. Some of us are capable of critical thinking and can easily see that America and the world are far worse off with your petulant child.
Glad we agree on that at least.
Hamas is the only entity doing something material to stop the slaughter of Palestinian children. This is not to belittle the efforts of protesters, or of nation-states that are advocating at the UN level. But to watch the mass slaughter and forcible relocation of a people, and then wag your finger at them for fighting back, seems…idk, patronizing to their efforts? Like only the white people can save them, they aren’t allowed to wield power themselves. I don’t think that’s exactly what you meant, but it’s how it strikes me any time anyone says “well Hamas is bad too”.
Yes, you’re probably right. But that doesn’t change the fact that Harris is endorsing continued genocide. I get that it isn’t a single-issue election, but not all issues carry equal weight. I care about income inequality and Medicare-for-all and protecting the right to choose. But all of those issues seem miniscule when stood up side-by-side with literal genocide.
She will probably still get my vote because I care about all of those issues and I want to see the Overton Window shift left, but that doesn’t mean i’m going to shut up about the genocide.
You say that “only the white people can save them” line without any awareness of the irony that it gives your stance in not supporting a particular candidate.
i’m always aware of the irony. fully-clad in irony armor over here.
Well it’s spraying all over everyone else still
