Winning should be a breeze for Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and the other Democratic candidates. What's going on?

    Her opponent will do the exact same amount of Genocide. Harris is warmongering to attack Iran just like Trump.

    The only thing Holocaust Harris will do it is word her war crimes a little nicer.

      This is totally unfounded speculation which betrays a frankly embarrassing political ignorance.

      Congress controls what we send to Israel. Biden tried to stop arms shipments in May, Congress overturned it. That is a fact. Everyone crying “genocide Joe” either doesn’t understand the division of powers in our government, or is deliberately lying to help the far right.

      Harris’ opponent won’t flight Congress on aid to Israel, and will flight them on aid to Ukraine, and is already suggesting nuking Iran. Claiming they are exactly the same is either stupidity or subterfuge.

        Please learn how politics works before pretending to have knowledge. Biden is full controll to stop arms shipments it’s called Leahy Law and Biden is violating it. The entire Biden administration are Genocidal Nazis who need to be put in jail for life.

        US uses loophole to keep 100 arms sales to Israel under the radar amid Gaza war

        Biden administration not required to disclose sales below set dollar amount, in addition to public shipments worth over $573m

          Please learn what irony is before making such ridiculous statements. I don’t tolerate bad faith nonsense from fascists or their useful idiots.

          Congress is in control here, we do not actually have a unitary executive, despite the best efforts of the fascist party you insist on helping daily.

            Does the executive branch not have the authority to execute laws?

              Laws long occluded by complex criteria and special concessions carved out for this particular scenario. Does the legislative branch not control the purse?

              What kind of clown blames the guy who’s trying to help but not hard enough, instead of the ghouls actively causing the problem and stonewalling his efforts to help?

            Google Leahy Law and consider lurking a bit more before commenting as if you know what you’re talking about.

              Oh the Leahy Law that specifically carves out complex exceptions for Israel? Consider reading more than the headline when you’re googling foreign policy.
