“As a Palestinian American,” she said in the video, “the current administration’s handling of this genocide has been beyond enraging and demoralizing, but the reality is that it can get worse.”
Sounds like we're finally getting realistic here, hope all you "line I'll never cross" folks start to question yourselves a bit if you're out there and real and not bots.

"In a media call on Tuesday, U.S Senator Mike Braun (R-Ind) said that the U.S. Supreme Court was wrong to legalize interracial marriage ... According to Braun, the decision should not have been made by the country’s highest court and instead been left to individual states. "
Alabama is positioning itself as a grim pioneer in nitrogen gas executions, offering its expertise to other states.

in reply to Rod Hilton • • •I want to take these never-Bideners through a situation.
Imagine you're Kamala Harris right now. And take, as a temporary assumption, that she is absolutely committed to stopping the war in the Middle East. And absolutely committed to stopping any more weapons from going to Israel until there is a ceasefire. That there is nothing more important to you than stopping Israel's ongoing aggression.
Just imagine that's the case for a moment, and lets walk through what you do in this situation.
Rod Hilton
in reply to Rod Hilton • • •Can Kamala, or even Joe Biden, just flat out stop supplying them with weapons until there is a ceasefire?
Well let's walk through what happens.
We announce no more weapons for Israel. Israel is attacked by Hamas or Hezbollah a short time later. The blame for weakening Israel falls to Biden/Harris for their lack of support. A large enough number of Israel supporters drop their support for her, and she loses the election.
Trump wins, weapons flow back, Bibi allowed to do whatever he wants.
Rod Hilton
in reply to Rod Hilton • • •So while US power hangs in the balance, there's little choice but to get through the election before enacting any kind of policy change. Anything else risks the election itself which puts MORE Palestinian lives at risk, because Trump has made it clear that Bibi will have no restrictions.
She honestly can't even *say* she's going to change the policy, because that too puts Palestinian lives at greater risk due to an election loss.
Rod Hilton
in reply to Rod Hilton • • •The smartest move, if you actually care about ending the war in the Middle East, is to read between the lines of what Kamala is saying. She cares about *HOW* Israel defends itself. She wants a ceasefire. These are the things that tell you that she agrees with you and wants this to stop.
If you're smart, you'll recognize the situation she's in and put your trust in her that, once she secures the power of the office, she will use that power to negotiate a ceasefire.
Rod Hilton
in reply to Rod Hilton • • •Maybe she doesn't want that. Maybe reading between the lines is over-interpreting. But there is at least a *chance* of what you want happening with her as president.
There is NO chance of it with Trump. None.
Protest-voting Jill Stein to deny MI to Kamala (the explicit goal of the Stein movement, at this point) will do nothing to further any goals that actually value life.
