The problem is that Kamala (along with every politician in the U.S.) has to weigh the how much support they will lose if they support ceasing armaments to Israel with how much they will gain by doing so. I’m betting the polling data shows fairly conclusively that they’d stand to lose more voter support by ceasing arms shipments to Israel than they’d gain. At the very least, I’m betting that’s the fear of a lot of Democrats.
But you understand how Biden breaking US and international law makes people who are disengaged think both parties are the same?
Like, we can tell at them and scold them that it’s better when Dems do it…
Or Kamala can come out and say she’ll follow the law. Considering she has said multiple times she has no issues with how Biden has done things and wouldn’t have done anything different…
That only hurts Dems and makes trump (way worse shit) look acceptable.

So you think trump giving aid to Russia against US law would be ok if it gets him votes?
This is the exact reason turnout is low.
Lots of voters won’t hold their nose to blatant crimes even if the only other option does more crimes…
I didn’t say I approved of it, I just said that’s the political calculus.
