    God forbid Biden/Harris actually change their handling of Israel.

    They always expect the millions of voters to change rather than the dozens of politicians to change to align with the voters.

      Damned if they do, damned if they don’t. PACs just gotta snap their fingers, flyers ready to print, websites ready to host like newspapers stockpiling living celebrity obits

        I would assume that Biden has a vested interest in Harris winning. That’s why I specified Biden/Harris in my original comment, rather than Harris/Walz.

          How is Biden having an interest in Harris winning at all relevant to the powers of the vice president or her actions if she is elected?

          Biden and Harris are two completely different individuals, which is a fact that you guys seem to forget.

            So which is it? Biden is in charge and isn’t changing stance? Or Harris isn’t in charge but also isn’t signaling a departure from Biden if she is elected?

            Either way, neither Biden (who is actually in charge) nor Harris (who isn’t in charge) is changing (Biden) or stating an intention to change (Harris) their handling of Israel.

              Did you read the rather long text at the top of this thread? It explains all this rather well.

                Yes. Fwiw, my first comment here preceded that one.

                Edit: also, that comment addresses something different than what we’re discussing here. The responses here seem to be fixated on Harris being VP rather than president. The comment you are pointing out discusses Biden’s limitations in managing this situation. Different issues, different discussions.

        I think she will change things, but can’t really speak out like she would probably want being she is Biden’s VP. Either way, Trump will only make things worse.

          We can guarantee there’ll be no Ukraine and no Gaza if Trump takes office. Coin flip if he randomly decides to hulk smash Iran to show the world he’s a big tough guy with the best bombs (which would inarguably lead to far-reaching ramifications).

          Best thing that could happen if they changed their stance re: Israel is that Trump can now claim he’d do it sooner and the blood of countless Palestinians is on their hands, and that they’re only trying to score political points by turning their back on their allies, and that they’re flip-floppers that are incompetently throwing spaghetti noodles at the wall. This would get Benghazi-ed so damn hard.

          Trolley problem
