Moreover, Harris often stresses that her support for Israel is “unwavering”. She has been part of an administration that has overseen unconditional support for the brutal war on Gaza, and recently, she welcomed Israeli escalation in Lebanon.
When asked recently what she would have done differently from Biden, Harris said “not a thing that comes to mind”, stressing that she has been part of the decision-making process at the White House on most important issues.
Separate from the moral issue, this just speaks to her being a really poor campaigner. These are softball questions designed to allow her to create daylight with an unpopular president on her terms. Reminds me a lot of how much she fumbled her primary campaign.
But old guy picked her and old guy was old on camera, so I guess she's our best option. Still better than the alternatives, both Biden and Trump, but just sort of sad from a nation of 330M people.
This is why I wanted them to do a primary, I doubt she would have made it past that since there are both really good candidates and also seasoned politicians who would at least campaign much better.
This is why they didn't do a primary.
