“To those people who are saying, ‘Well, I can’t support Harris because she disagrees [with] Trump on that issue’ … he will be closer to Netanyahu,” Sanders said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
Sanders said he thinks Vice President Harris can be moved “on that issue” of the Israel-Hamas war.
Harris has called for a cease-fire deal and pushed for the war in Gaza to end, but she faces scrutiny from both sides — from people who want to see Hamas defeated and those who call for the end of the war in Gaza.
“So, if we are able to elect Harris, I think we’re going to have an opportunity to move her on that issue, to make it clear, we cannot allow children in Gaza to starve to death,” Sanders said. “She will be open to that. I doubt that Trump will.”
you have to hand it to the “vote 3rd party” tryhards: they never shut the fuck up with their stupid bullshit
As far as we know, it’s just one guy in Moscow named Dimitri with a bunch of burner accounts.
Because the vast majority of them aren’t real.
Just wait til the day after the election thru the following 3.5 years

Blaming people for wanting better is basically what lemmy is for.
Let’s ignore that fascism coming from within so we can focus on the other fascism.

Is it so reprehensible to be dissatisfied with “not as bad as trump”?

Already voted for Harris.
You just want critics of genocide to shut up and be as happy as you are about it.

What should be and what is are almost never the same thing. We should keep pushing for what should be while facing the hard truths of what the reality actually is.
Try it. Try pushing against genocide regardless of who supports it.
See what happens.
I am, I’m still voting for the candidate I think I can help move on the issue instead of just letting the guy who will send the military against protestors win.
I already voted for Harris. I do not believe she will move on this issue, unless it’s to the right.
It’s the same damn result. They only answer to the donor class
Your second sentence does not imply your first, and if you pay any attention you’ll see significant differences. My LGBTQ+ friends and family, for example, will not have the same experience under each party. Nor will women or Black people. Nor will schoolteachers or schoolkids, or anyone depending on all kinds of public services.
Yes, both parties are corporatist, capitalist, and pay more attention to the rich. But only one is preparing a fascist theocracy and promising revenge on everyone who doesn’t match their narrow template for an acceptable human being. To say both parties are the same reveals a certain ignorance and perhaps the privilege not to be affected directly by the differences.
You can only speak in 3rd person about LGBTQ issues, I can speak in 1st hand. I’ve seen time and again for decades that dems have betrayed my community while demanding our unquestioning support. Harris throwing trans under the bus last week is a prime example
Do you have a link for this? I don’t remember her saying anything of the short.
I’m betting even if you did hear the interview you and liberals would dismiss it as ‘that’s not what she said’
She says they need to follow the law, which includes the 500 anti trans laws passed by Republicans

Less myopic and more privileged. Glad theyre in such a position to feel smugly while others suffer.
While you advocate for the people keeping them marginalized

Enjoy your new openly fascist right wing party.
And you go enjoy your well-aged fascist party 🥳🥳
Socialists are not fascist, that’s reserved for the duopoly
Let’s expedite the fascism coming from within so there are no brakes on fascism elsewhere…
Paycheck ends in 10 days finish strong!
