What if Kamala just said fuck it and went pro Palestine?
Like what if she went on whatever her next big interview is and just declared that Israel was an apartheid genocide state that, once elected, she would bring to heel.
She vows to immediately cute all aid and in fact begin working against Israel in any way. Maybe that's implementing a blockade, maybe it is boots on the ground invasion of tel Aviv, or maybe it's just diplomatic in some manner.
What would happen? This is assuming she just went rogue so to speak... That is this is not the state department line or something. Maybe she personally broke inside at the horrors she's witnessed, maybe she is seeing her polls and decides this is best, maybe she's just drugged out of her mind and she can't remember who she is anymore. Maybe it's all a lie. Whatever.
Would the Democrats disavow her? Halt her campaign in some way? Have her dealt with? Or would they be forced to sorta follow suit because the election is so close?
I just think about this because she quite literally could go on TV and say whatever the hell she wanted. If she was as compassionate towards the Palestinians as she claims she could do it regardless of what Biden or anyone else says.
Obviously she won't because she seems to love genocide but ya know a little thought experiment.
The Democrats will lose 85% of its campaign contributions overnight. The cronies no longer have the treats flowing. Mass defection ensue. The end of the Democratic Party not even joking.
You do not go against the interests of the bourgeoisie in this country. Not even as a joke. Look at how they treated Elizabeth Warren even as a very mild critic of the establishment. The elites have feelings too you know, if you hurt their feelings they’d throw tantrum like you’ve never seen before.
My reflex is that she would cease to be alive in short order.
Maybe that would be too chaotic, so other options would be pursued, but I would be very surprised if she was able to force any kind of pivot with material consequences.
Yai imagine it would only be done to try and win the election. It's the most likely of all the unlikely reasons she'd do this. Really the only one with greater than say .001% chance.
I'd also grudgingly vote for her if she made enough anti genocide noise. Or I would have except now it's literally too late. Just dropped my ballot for PSL haha.
I think it would be completely ignored by all media. Either no coverage at all, or if it couldn't be immediately contained the news cycle would move on after 12 hours and would be quickly "forgotten". Meanwhile she would be disciplined quietly to act as though it had never happened or otherwise neutralized.
Regardless how stupid the above is, would she be able to do anything against the deep state?
It would be really funny and the CIA would comedically fumble for the heart attack gun.
It would probably be the largest split in the Democrats ever, possibly enough to destroy the whole party. Bigger than even the previous splits over the 14th amendment or the civil rights act.
The question would be if Harris survives until before or after the election, but she probably wouldn't win if she suddenly announced opposition to the entity.
