Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for president, fired back at pro-Palestinian protesters of Israel’s war in Gaza as they interrupted her speech during a Wednesday night campaign rally in Detroit.

“You know what? If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I’m speaking,” Harris said with a long stare, drawing loud cheers from supporters in the crowd before chants of, “Not going back!”

    The solution cannot be “don’t vote and let the other guys win” tho right?

    It isn’t. Keep trying. If she keeps refusing, vote for an anti-genocide candidate like Jill Stein.

      Oh I’m sorry,

      *The solution cannot be “vote for someone who has no chance and let the other guys win” tho right?

      Seriously who the hell is Jill Stein? I bet if you asked most Americans they would have no clue. Can we have an ounce of realism here? We’re 3 months out from this election and finally got someone who is competitive with Trump. Jill Stein is not winning.

        The lack of research skills of other voters is not my responsibility. My responsibility is to vote for the best candidate.

        We’re 3 months out from this election and finally got someone who is competitive with Trump.

        Then maybe she should try to keep that competitive edge by fucking listening when people are protesting a genocide! Genocide is wrong. If you have the power to end a genocide, you should do so. This is not rocket surgery.

            I don’t believe Trump will be worse, he will be the same but less polite about it. An honest genocider is better than a lying genocider.

            After 10 months of the Democratic Party enabling a genocide and lying about it, an honest genocider would be an improvement honestly. Liberals might actually stop apologizing for it.

          If people don’t your name as a candidate, then it’s your own fault. Third parties have been completely unable to run an effective campaign. You can’t blame the voters for that.

          I’ll agree with you on your last point. While I think Kamala can be pushed in the right direction, her response here was a huge misstep. It’s insane to me that this wasn’t even prepared for.
