(1,755 posts)I enthusiastically supported Harris, except for her Gaza policy.
I have one problem with this argument. Why dont we decry Harris for not formulating a policy that would have brought these, primarily younger, idealistic anti war voters in to the tent. A speaking position at the convention would have done it. The political assumption was made that they would vote Harris anyway. That was a political blunder by the Harris campaign.
I dont believe that the stated US policy on Gaza changed that much from Biden to Trump. I would hear stories of back room pressure during the Biden administration, but it never changed US policy. We have facilitated a genocide. I have to believe that US policy would have been different under a Harris administration, but that was never promised. The issue was ignored thus she lost those voters.
