Harris seriously needs to fire her campaign advisors. There are so many easy things she could do to easily win the presidency but for some reason she refuses to do them.
Taking a stand against genocide is just one of them and is so easy to do. She'd gain 10s of millions of Arab voters plus the 10s of millions of progressive voters she's missing out on right now, and it would probably only cost her a few thousand moderate voters. Those voters probably aren't even in swing states so who cares?
I don't know why Harris is running such a stupid campaign or why she just doesn't do the really easy thing that will absolutely guarantee that she easily wins the white house.
It absolutely blows my mind.
I'm curious if it's because she has taken the Biden campaign advisors on board. Maybe his whole crew thinks like him, and are thus rabid Zionists.
Or maybe they determined that all the critics are in blue places and not swing states, so they don't matter.
Worse, actually.

There is a chance she can lose Michigan just without Arab Americans vote so what Biden and Harris is doing is just stupid.
Harris is a cop. She believes in putting people in cages. Ofc she supports this genocide.
She can't fire them because she works for them.
It doesn't make sense because you're leaving out half of the equation: money.
There are lots of issues like this that poll overwhelmingly in the opposite direction that Democrats keep moving towards.
They only need 50% +1 of the EC delegates to win the election, anything more eats into their ability to fundraise, as what's good for everyday Americans is bad for capitalists and ideologues. Pandering to voters is good but if they can get you in the booth on the threat of Trump alone then even better. That frees them up to fuck around and do whatever gets the most money out of their donors.
It's too late for this "progressive". I voted for Cornel West yesterday. Before y'all libs attack me, I live in a state where my vote is completely meaningless. Democracy and freedom!!!! \s
Excellent choice, I voted for Trump. It''s absolutely imperative that we keep Harris from getting elected and voting for a third party instead of Harris helps to get Trump elected, but since I live in a swing state I didn't want to take any chances and voted directly for Trump instead of indirectly.
It’s about time MAGA actually admitted that.
It blows your mind because you're living in a bubble and believe things you read on the internet without questioning them enough.
First Israel is not committing genocide. The casualties are consistent with combat operations in an urban environment. Death toll numbers are flattening as Hamas is eliminated: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Israel%E2%80%93Hamas_war#/media/File:Gaza_death_graph.png
If it were a genocide the numbers would be increasing.
Second, you're in a very small group of unreliable voters. It is not good strategy to ignore the majority to appease a small group of people that have been influenced by a foreign propaganda campaign. Most people understand that Hamas is a terrorist group, doesn't wear uniforms so therefore civilian casualties will be high when there's combat operations against them. Most people understand what happened on October 7, and understand that a nation should not abandon it's people when they're being held hostage. And nations shouldn't abandon their allies simply because their allies are fighting an enemy that has a propaganda campaign that's effective on a small portion of their population.
You likely weren't going to vote anyway. You'd probably find some other excuse to not vote even if Harris was saying everything the propaganda tells you she should. And, I can't stress this enough, you're part of a very small group of people. What you're saying isn't all that different from someone saying they can't understand why Harris wouldn't say the Earth is flat because she's losing the flat earther vote if she doesn't.
She's not saying the things you want her to say because you are wrong. Surrounding yourself only with people that agree with you doesn't change that.
It's a genocide
It's a genocide, and your boss needs to retrain you, you're using ancient debunked versions of your propaganda.
Nobody outside your internet bubble agrees with you. You're unable to gain any influence outside of a few impressionable youths because you're constantly making claims that are obviously false. We all see you try to redefine the word genocide to mean "whatever Israel is doing". Using a word like genocide in this way is disgusting to rational people which is why you're becoming pariahs.
ICJ and UN agree it's a genocide. More than 120 countries call it a genocide.
It's just the US (former performer of genocide), UK (former performer of Genocide), and Israel (largest performer of genocide since the Holocaust) that deny the genocide.
That's a lie. They expressed concerns over a potential genocide six months ago and haven't said anything since. A rational person would conclude that the potential genocide that they were worried about didn't actually happen.
Listen, your generic propaganda barely worked on the most right leaning people a year ago. It does not work on anyone with a brain and does not work on a left leaning site like lemmy. Go back to reddit and other right wing hug boxes with your genocide denying bullshit. Trump's going to lose, US troops will not be sent to aide your genocide, you'll have to live with unlimited funding to kill kids with, and history will look on at Israel's ashes the same way it does Nazi germany. You racist, evil, genocide denying hog.
