    Probably get hate for this around here, but it would be pants-on-head retarded for a political candidate to propose a major policy shift 3-weeks before a national election.

      The major-policy shift: Not supporting an apartheid state that’s killing thousands of innocent civilians.

      Lots of people said that about switching candidates just a few months before the election but they pulled that off fine. Abandoning a pro-genocide stance seems like a low bar in that regard.

        Do you think the morals of 1 person runs the USA? Because it doesn’t. Oil money runs the USA. America wants to build an oil pipeline and that pipeline cuts through Gaza and the West Bank. Trump will simply divert funds from Ukraine and give to Israel.

      Not really. Only Americans are so dense as to require several months to absorb something like that.

      It’d be genius, if anything. Soon enough that people will know it and vote for her (the majority of Democrats support conditioning Israeli aid), too late for AIPAC’d propaganda machine to push the election towards Trump.

      And that’s ignoring the fact that Gaza is consistently polling at the bottom of issues that will sway voters

      Tankies don’t understand nuance. All they know is their moral pearl clutching. They don’t understand what “first past the post” means.
