This is probably going to get me downvoted to hell and back, but from an electoral standpoint Kamala taking a strong position on Gaza doesn’t matter. Tragic as it is, the median voter and most importantly the few swing voters in the US don’t really care about it. Yes, the majority of Americans disapprove of what Israel is doing and support a cease fire, but it’s just not a high priority. Sure, people who are extremely online and spend lots of time in leftist space care, but the average voter? It’s barely on their radar.
Only 21% of voters even mention it as important. https://poll.qu.edu/poll-release?releaseid=3903
Less than 1% of voters will be deciding this election. 10-20% of voters voting in Democratic primaries voted "uncommitted."
Thats an overwhelming number of voters who the Democrats absolutely need to have to win this election. Its been a series of unforced errors from the Harris camp on Gaza.
I think you severely underestimate the effect it would have on the republican voters currently planning on voting for Harris. It sucks and it's awful, but you lose basically that entire group if you do it.
Mm. No.
We can easily get Harris into office with 0 Republicans voting for her, and I guarantee you that the differential is way out of Republicans favor.
