I’ve often assumed Harris didn’t want to insult her boss by going against him, because I got the impression she was planning to give Netanyahu what for once she took over - especially with him escalating things further and further. Did anyone else get that vibe, or was it just wishful thinking on my part?

    It’s total bullshit

    When Obama drew a line in the sand on Israel/Palestine, Biden publicly and repeatedly told any journalist who would listen that the only way to deal with Israel is give them everything they want.

    If Kamala can’t do it now, Biden couldn’t have done it then.

    Instead he got rewarded with the party backing another presidential run despite him always performing terribly.

    It sure as shit looks like it helped his career when he disagreed with the president as a VP

    But “moderates” will always bend over backwards to defend pulling the party right when anyone left of Richard Nixon tries to move the Overton window suddenly it’s the end of the world.

    There’s no logical consistency to it, just saying what makes them sound right in the moment.
