All they have to do is pledge to follow the Leahy Law…
Israel won’t comply, which means we legally can’t provide arms. Kamala doesn’t even have to be “the bad guy”, she can just say she’s choosing to follow American law and if Israel wants arms then they can comply like every other recipient has to.
It’s really as easy as saying:
If elected I will not break American law to send arms to foreign countries.
Boom, election locked up.
58% of PA voters want to ban fracking, but don’t expect either candidate to bring it up.
And while most want to ban it:
Pennsylvania voters continue to be split over fracking. A poll out this week, which surveyed 700 likely voters in September, shows 58% support a ban on fracking while 42% oppose it.
Virtually all agree that it can’t continue the way it has been:
“Support for taking mitigating measures like regulation and enforcement is strong among all populations that we surveyed,” O’Leary said, “from Democrats and environmentalists on the left to hardcore Republicans on the right.”
Unfortunately for voters in PA, both candidates for president and their Senate seat are fully behind fracking.
Yet people are still scratching their heads like nothing can be done to motivate PA voters.
“We are in a moment where our community is suffering and hurting in more ways than we can count. We have also seen four years under a Trump presidency and what that did to our community, and the risks that come with that,” said a spokesperson for Arab Americans for Harris-Walz. “We’re not saying that with a Harris administration there is no risk, but under a Trump administration, the risk is much higher. We believe [backing Harris] is a more favorable path forward for us here in the United States and in our home countries.”
It’s not too late, Kamala can pivot to the left and pledge to obey the Lehey law.
If she does, then Israel either changes their behavior or they stop getting any military aid/arms from America.
That’s all that needs done, Kamala to pledge to follow the law.
It’s not a big ask from voters, and it would hand her the votes she needs in the states she needs to win the election.
Every dollar we give Israel to continue their genocide could have went to Ukraine, we could have squashed this invasion in months if we gave Ukraine what we give Israel.
I’m voting D, but it’s disappointing the Dem platform makes you think of Jill Stein supporters…
I’m sorry I couldn’t explain this in a way you could understand, I thought we were almost there.
i just doubt that you know better than they do.
If you look at who “they” are, it’s mostly the people who couldn’t beat trump in 2016 and barely beat him in 2020 after Sanders drug them kicking and screaming to the left in the primary
We didn’t get that this year, no one is dragging Kamala left…
They’re not “the best at what they do” except in raising donations, seriously, look I to the people running shit, they’re in positions of power because they brought in the most money, they’re always going to side with the money because their metric is how much they can bring in.
It is not a good way to run a political party, and most voters don’t even know it’s happening.
Except Biden repeatedly gave in to pressure from his voter base on a lot of actions, we also got a lot of changes to DNC policy care of Sanders voter base.
And Biden got elected despite his age…
2020 was an example of the candidate moving their campaign left and winning the election.
Fair enough, but I’d wager she has a lot more understanding of how things work than a bunch of random outraged people in a far corner social media platform.
Except we’re talking about potential Harris voters, and they’re not exactly being shy about what they want…
Because if it’s not genocide, it’ll be something else. I guarantee it. They do this shit every election.
Yes, it’s not just one single issue, I’ve listed a bunch of different examples already…
100,000,000 people didn’t vote in 2016. Let that sink in. How many of them were butthurt and outraged single issue idealists do you think?
Yes, and it should scare the shit out of everyone that the same people who ran the DMC and Dem campaign in 2016 are running the DNC and campaign in 2024 and doing the same stupid shit.
We agree on what’s important.
You’re just blaming voters, and I’m blaming the people running the party and campaign.
It’s too late in the game
You keep saying that…
It’s what people said about replacing Biden too, then we replaced Biden.
Kamala has up till the last vote is cast to try and beat Trump, not a second earlier is “too late”.
Even if it’s after the election tho, we can’t just pay attention once every four years and hope things magically got better.
It’s an ongoing neverending fight, so by definition it’s literally never “too late”.
The lobbyists never stop, the fascists never stop, why do you want the people to stop?
I remember people pissed at DNC in 2016 got us Trump the first time.
Other people would blame Clinton’s campaign for refusing to move to the left to get more votes.
They had a very “vote for me or fuck you” approach, much like OP’s meme.
But when looking at exit polling, progressives showed up and voted D like we always do. Clinton lost by slim margins in a couple of important battleground states she mostly ignored.
And I’m not saying all that to bring up old wounds, it’s because Hillary’s people became Bidens people who became Kamala’s.
They’re still the ones making these policy decisions that are wildly unpopular.
They shouldn’t be in charge still, but they are.
OP consistently makes posts that only divide the Dem base.
Considering they started out with AI posts lying about early voting, I guess it’s an improvement?
But I guarantee you the Harris campaign has done the cost-benefit analysis. They could be wrong because nothing in politics is 100%, we’ll just have to see.
Are you not aware of the overlap with the 2016 and 2020 campaigns?
2020 we won by literally tens of thousands of votes, it worked but just barely and mostly because trump was already in office.
The people running this campaign and the dnc don’t know what the fuck they’re doing. They’ve locked in as donations as a metric and only chase that one single metric, even to the point of ignoring votes.
It’s ok to criticize them, we’re not Republicans
Maybe primary voters wouldn’t have felt like they needed to pick a “safe” neolib over a demsoc in 2016 if they could believe he’d be viable.
You think primary voters had a say in 2016 still?
Clinton’s primary campaign was literally running the DNC during that primary, it’s not some secret and it was 8 years ago…
You really never heard?
I can find a link if you need to, it was very well documented.
Edit:

Went ahead and linked it, because the people who pulled that shit are still the ones running DNC and Kamala’s campaign. Shits not going to get better as long as people like this run the party.
The best way to get Kamala more votes is to vote for Kamala. Full stop. End of arguments.
…
Yes.
I am voting for Kamala, she has 100% of the votes I control.
But we are talking about how to get the most other people to vote her.
We can do that by screaming at them that they should, but we’d have to do that to tens of millions of people.
Or…
We could try and get Kamala to move to the left, which would get her more votes and the added benefit of better policy.
Like, which do you think would be more effective?
. Either you’re voting for her, or you’re not
And I don’t know know why I have to keep saying this: I’m already voting D, we’re talking about the people who aren’t.
What gets me is how none of you have ever offered a single point to support anyone else that is viable
No one else is viable…
But we’re talking about the best way to get Kamala more votes to stop trump.
That is by pulling her to the left
All you do is complain, and offer nothing
If you don’t think making noise online can have an effect, why are we talking about Harris right now and not Biden?
There’s still time to pull Kamala left, get her more votes, and not only beat trump but the increased turnout would help down allot in the House/Senate
It’s not over, and even after the election it won’t be over. Even when she’s in office, next election is 2 years, we can’t afford to let the only people influencing Kamala being donors and Republicans.
The problem is that the broader Democratic electorate is a much bigger tent, with overall much more moderate politics, than online leftists are typically willing to admit
Polls show progressive policy isn’t just popular with Dems, but all voters…
That’s life mate, I’m sorry it doesn’t agree with your opinions, but it’s the truth.
That’s why Obama’s 08 campaign did so fucking well, despite not really being that progressive in any other developed country.
The neoliberal experiment has only benefited the wealthy, stop defending them, they got lawyers and lobbyists for them, pick people over corps and we can get something done.
The only way to move the country left is to do whatever you can to get the most left-leaning viable candidate elected. Over time this pushes the whole electorate left.
The last Dem president before neoliberalism was Jimmy Carter like 50 years ago
Would you say that the current strategy has paid off?
If not, how many more decades before we start thinking the people running the party are at best idiots who shouldn’t be running a lemonade stand?
Spreading the lie that you should not vote
No one is doing that tho, at least no more than any other election.
Treating people who want more out of Kamala than what she’s giving aren’t the same.
We can still get their votes by Kamala moving to the left.
What is confusing?
It should.
But it isn’t.
So why don’t we try to get Kamala away from that conservative policy? It gets the votes to beat trump and we end up with a president who’s policy aligns more closely with the Dem voter base.
It’s literally a win/win, why spend time yelling at people to vote (when we know that’s not effective) instead of trying to get Kamala to move to the left and get the votes?
When we know that’s effective
If Biden hadn’t been pulled left in 2020, he wouldn’t have beat trump.
