"Don't protest my genocide unless you want another guy who will do genocide to win" is a hell of a hill to die on, copmala
This is such a brunch lib response. They definitely know who their base is, and its not people who care about genocide
its not people who care about genocide
You mean people who care about false genocides like the one supposedly in Ukraine and China.
only false genocides
There's the tone-deaf idiocy we expect from the Democrats. Whew.
Don't worry, there's plenty more where that came from! 
Yeah after a streak of looking like they want to win this was my "ah, there's the Democrats I know" moment.
The fact that most Americans think this is what a progressive looks like shows how fucked we are.
Teddy Roosevelt is most American's idea of a progressive
Donald Trump Jr. is our most progressive politician and once all the megafauna is extinct it will no longer be possible to be progressive
My main cultural knowledge of Teddy Roosevelt is the extremely weird hard on old Cracked had for the guy
Dude regularly touted the sort of rhetoric we would call 'White Genocide' today. Shaming white women who didn't want to have children and stuff like that.
He was a jock and a bully and people do enjoy that he would occasionally bully upper class people. That was cool but it was simply downstream from it him being terrible to everyone
Same as it ever was.
Nothing ever happens.
oh yeah? how about fuck you
's response to BLM protesters
We need to see what can be (a Jewish ethnostate), unburned by what has been (decades of indigenous resistance)
Lmao a turbolib in a discord I'm in shared this clip saying its an example of the viral clips that will help her which is so funny.
"If anything it's the way they protested that undermined their cause since they wouldn't let her speak and they kept interrupting."
Remember when BLM protesters interrupted Bernie and he actually shut up and let them talk?
He may be flawed but the US is still worse off without him
I mean, what a fall you would have to take to shut them down after a long history of activism for them. To go from getting arrested protesting with them, to silencing their continued protest, what a fall that would be.
Nice representative "democracy" we have. Glad to know the VP represents her constituents. Heil Cocomala Harnut!
Do not protest. Do not protest.
template here, this is an update to a previous image that had Jill Biden in a white suit from a magazine cover
My president.
that is so infantilising i can't even
the adults are doing genocide, sweaty
aww
it was never a real democracy.
I honestly feel sick to my stomach about how it seems people have just stopped caring about Palestine since Joe dropped out. I see way more people do the "Trump would be worse" thing, even a lot of people who trashed the concept beforehand! And so many more people are suddenly talking about it like a "minor foreign policy issue."
It felt like something was in the air, something was about to happen, something was about to change and now people are supporting genocide and talking about harm reduction again.
It's just copium hope that kamala will be better on Palestine. There is a lot of evidence that it isn't true but people hope it is since she doesn't own the past 300 days of slaughter.
It's being astroturfed to hell and back, and everyone without principles and a coherent ideology is falling for it
Last time the Dems won without Michigan was 1976. I've thought the Dems were making better moves in recent weeks but idk, this seems dumb as hell. I don't expect her to do anything good about the genocide, but actively antagonizing pro-Palestine people seems stupid.

I knew this was going to happen, I said it the day Joe dropped out. People voting uncommitted were a mixed demographic of actual principled voters standing against a genocide, and disillusioned liberals who wanted anyone but Joe Biden to run. I believe the latter is the larger group. Like others have said after the fact, Kamala ticks all the liberal identity boxes, and now, Waltz also slots right in to cover all the other groups.
My understanding, too, is that the rest of the audience tried to shout them down, which is telling. The way this was relayed to me when I first heard about it was via a TikTok where the commentator referred to the chanters as "Hecklers", also telling. Reports are, Harris, before taking the stage, spoke with leaders of the uncommitted group and wanted to get contact information to start a dialog, ~~expressing interest in a possible arms embargo against Israel (I have not verified this)~~ See this comment for more details.
But if that was true, why is this the response she gives to their chants? What is she signaling in this moment? She's clearly not talking to them, but instead talking to everyone else in the room. Her words are painting the chanters as opposition. She tries at least one time before this comment to calm their chants. Did they get under her skin, and is this a raw reaction to their disruption? Is it a calculated message? Either could be true.
If she really was trying to make a connection with this group of voters before getting on stage, then why did she not take the opportunity to address the issue? Why not say on stage that she is coordinating conversations with their group, that she wants to hear them out directly, and that their concerns are valid? Either this is a true showing of her actual political savvy (as in, a lack thereof), or she is giving up the game right here in front of them.
Regardless of intention, the message is loud and clear. Vocal support for an anti-genocide position from her is in opposition to their campaign. Even if she doesn't believe that, her words imply it. As others have pointed out, Michigan is an important state, and the voters who can make or break their chances are not white well-meaning liberals, they are Muslim Americans who have real stakes at play. The position of the next president on Israels Genocide have real, material impact on them, and I doubt they will remain silent about it.
I’d be interested in any evidence supporting this part, because it feels like cover and entirely contradicted, as you pointed out, by her actions in the speech
close friends are straight up telling others to vote kamala 'because project 2025' in the most cringe liberal manner possible.

Can you imagine having the absolute PRIVILEGE necessary to be a single-issue Gaza voter in this election? With abortion, voting, and LGBTQ rights on the line and Harris being the only thing standing in Project 2025’s way, and they’re gonna campaign against her? I cannot fathom the blinders these people have on.

Imperial violence never comes home. You can lend massive material support to the slaughter of tens of thousands of people while suppressing anybody who thinks that's bad and it doesn't affect your home society at all. Not a lot of people know this, it's a bit of a pro gamer move.
Joe Biden's mush brain isn't the only reason they've been avoiding public events. This was the other big reason, and will remain a big problem for them.
I wonder if their honeymoon phase with Kopmala will end before or after the election. The protests need to continue. Genocide is genocide, and until there’s a stop to it, they shouldn’t have a single moment of peace.
Protests, dual power, and even electoralism.
