I’m glad she’s finally saying it out loud.

I’m not sure I like this response. Protests are important and this is a massive injustice being carried out. She can acknowledge them and speak with respect without cowtowing if she’s worried about appearing weak.

Ew, this is not the dunk libs think it is. “Don’t protest our complicity in genocide or else you’ll lose democracy and freedom.”
Edit: Downvote all you want, libs. I run this server.

This is not the dunk you think it is. You sound like a petty little tyrant drunk on what is not even any kind of real power. I’m sure you’ll ban me for saying this because clearly you’re that kind of personality, but wow. Someone needs to take you down a peg dude.

I agree with what you say before editing, what you say after qualifies you as an asshole

Considering how AIPAC just destroyed two members of the squad it’s fair to acknowledge the reality of that statement.
I hope she does address the situation seriously. I desperately want the Gazan people to receive humanitarian aid and for the genocide to stop. But I’m also a geopolitical realist. There are limits to what can be done without making this or other situations worse.
So I expect whatever position Harris ultimately takes to both be decried as woefully inadequate and also an unconscionable betrayal of our commitments to our allies. Nothing short of a full-throated commitment to one side or the other will land outside that middle ground.
Not that protesting isn’t vital. I’m glad they got the chance to shout and get their moment of press over it, and I’m glad it didn’t derail her intended speech. Public awareness it’s important.
