    Good on you for not voting for Hillary. You did the right thing. It’s because of that Democrats have already ditched Biden. They have now learned they need to pander to progressives to win.

    The problem is that they believe they can keep it to pandering without actually doing anything.

    As for Kamala, she’s as much of a corporate ghoul as Biden

    2019 - More AIPAC Than J Street’: Kamala Harris Runs to the Right on Foreign Policy

    In her very first foreign policy vote in January 2017, for instance, Harris sided with President Trump in criticizing the outgoing President Obama’s refusal to veto an otherwise-unanimous, very modest, and largely symbolic UN Security Council resolution on Israeli settlements. Among other things, that resolution reiterated previous Security Council calls for Israel to stop expanding its illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, which violate the Fourth Geneva Convention and a landmark ruling by the International Court of Justice.

      Yea, not good, but still not genocide, at least directly… but her stance on other issues are acceptable. Her claims about justice reform are a little suspect, but she has backed Bernie Sanders in a number of things, whom i ideologically most align with, if not float a little further outside left.

      I am still critical of the DNC but… Kamala Harris must beat trump. Jill Stein just isn’t in position to achieve that goal.

        It’s direct Genocide. Democrats are already bombing Yemen. Providing diplomatic cover, all the weapons to commit Genocide and threatening anyone who wants to stop it with destruction. It is nothing less than direct involvement.

        On a scale of responsibility I’d even put the Democrats above Netanyahu. There is nobody more responsible for the Genocide than Democrats. This would happen without Netanyahu, but it could not happen without the Democrats…

        Trump will be a repeat of 2016. Not great but the world won’t end like all the liberals are pretending.

        In the end if you’re not wiling to use your vote for leverage the Democrats will know once and for all they can sell it to the highest bidder for anything. Genocide included.
