    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.

      Harris seriously needs to fire her campaign advisors donors.

      She can’t fire them because she works for them.

      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 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.
