“When Biden dropped out and Harris became the Democratic candidate, there was an opening for her to win back at least some of the voters who were rightly horrified by our government’s enabling of war crimes and genocide. She repeatedly chose not to make an effort to do that. The backlash over Gaza and Lebanon may very well end up sinking her campaign because she failed to respond to what the voters have been demanding for the last year. Harris could have pledged to follow the law and cut off arms transfers because of Israel’s blocking of humanitarian aid and its violations of international law. She could have at least become more openly critical of Israeli actions. The vice president did none of that. If anything, Harris has been sounding more hardline as the general election draws nearer.” (09/30/24)
