The New York lawmaker responded to Fetterman's dismissal of her call on Monday for an arms embargo on Israel, which has received billions of dollars worth of weapons and other military aid since the Hamas-led October 7 attack.
Yes, we call this ‘enabling’ and its bad. if my friend goes and murders someone in cold blood I don’t go ‘oh well they’re my friend’ I fucking turn them in so they can get the help they clearly need.
She can’t get those easy votes without losing votes from moderate Israel-supporters.
No one is asking her to not protect israel. but fun fact: they’re not moderates if they’re supporting a genocide.
Well then your actions are irrational because they do not help accomplish your goal, despite your fantasies to the contrary.
thats, like, your opinion man. all your points are around assumptions about how others will act. personally I only decide how I can act. and seems like others agree with me and not you since harris can’t find votes.
Eh, she needs enough votes. She doesn’t need yours specifically. If she can’t get yours, she’ll shill to moderates to get theirs, because strategically that’s much smarter than alienating a large, reliable bloc in order to gain a portion of the much smaller, much less reliable bloc you represent.
you actually don’t know that. and neither does she. shes just scared as are you. I’m about as reliable as they come for votes; I show up every year and vote for people who represent me. if there are none, I show up for the ballot initiatives and leave the candidates blank. Its hardly my fault the DNC didn’t run a real primary to find the best candidate this year because we know harris wouldn’t have won.
Done, like a year ago.
samesies, do it again, repeatedly this week. =) they weren’t willing to do shit a year ago because they didn’t need the votes. now is the time to give them permission.
not my fault harris is floundering for votes. I can’t help that shes committed to a platform that has historically low approval and is unwilling to commit to anything not even a bar as low as ‘not commiting genocide’ shrug.
if she had a solid platform she wouldn’t be floundering. I can’t do anything about that except clearly broadcast my expectations to the democratic party. which i’m doing daily. you are of course free to do nothing. but harris needs votes to win and I’m letting her know how to get mine. balls in her court.

Unfortunately, elections are a popularity contest, not a morality test. It doesn’t matter what’s right, it matters what enough voters in the right states approve of.

This reflects her stated position, but here you are saying it’s not good enough.
Well then your actions are irrational because they do not help accomplish your goal, despite your fantasies to the contrary.
thats, like, your opinion man. all your points are around assumptions about how others will act.
It must be a strange sensation seeing it from the other side. Your entire strategy is based on assumptions about how others will act. The difference is that your assumptions are based on pure unsupported fantasy, while mine are based on historical evidence.

Sure, hold your nose, and when Trump wins you can snuggle say you didn’t directly vote for him, it’s not your fault LGBT people are getting carted off to camps, it’s not your fault women are legally considered breeding stock, it’s not your fault Palestine is a sheet of glass, it’s not your fault we pulled aid from Ukraine and sent it to Israel. Harris should have done more to seduce you into supporting human rights, it’s her fault you helped the greater evil.
Unfortunately, elections are a popularity contest, not a morality test. It doesn’t matter what’s right, it matters what enough voters in the right states approve of.
agreed, and shes losing; all I can do is try and help by telling her what will get mine and apparently other votes.
The difference is that your assumptions are based on pure unsupported fantasy, while mine are based on historical evidence.
the past does not predict the future. but it rhymes. and the past shows the democrats run to the right and lose. looks in harris’ direction
thats, like, your opinion man. all your points are around assumptions about how others will act.
I’ve only made a single claim on how others will act and it was a group that literally said ‘stop the arm shipments to gaza’ and there are 100k of them in an important swing state.

correct. you see its a popularity contest, and apparently shes not winning and doesn’t know how to. a shame really. if only the DNC ran a real primary when faced with a historically disliked administration. well you lose some, you win some. but it is a shame and its a shame you wouldn’t put in the effort for all those groups you’re trying to place on my plate. my vote is here for the taking. its a shame she couldn’t check a single box on my list. I hope she pulls it off but for some reason it seems like she wont.

its funny you think your giant list of minority groups who actually have rights and trump wont be able to take them away by himself is more important to me than the 40k people already murdered and million + put at risk by the biden admin inability to have a spine. its why he lost support (among a plethora of other issues, like union busting) and just slapping harris’ name on the top of the ticket won’t change that outcome. sorry but the deaths are the greater evil. I will not choose between the minority groups. you can compromise if you wish I won’t.

heres my fence, lets see if she can get over it!
