At least three Republicans will have prominent speaking roles this week, as the Harris campaign taps into opposition to Donald J. Trump from within his own party.

      She’s already turned into a corporate Dem. She’s trying to become Pelosi 2.0

      After grassroots pressure, AOC said in March that the Biden admin is complicit in an “unfolding genocide” in Gaza.

      Now given a primetime appearance at the DNC, AOC forgets the whole genocide thing and falsely claims that Kamala Harris “is working tirelessly to secure a ceasefire in Gaza.”

      Edit: I used to talk to her before she was elected. She used to be very progressive but changed like they all do once elected. She was active on Reddit’s SandersforPresident sub.

        First, there’s more than one issue on the minds of Americans. I hope you, like the gun rights people and the abortion people, can see that.

        Second, the Biden administration and Harris, especially in the context of the DNC, are now different things so both statements could be true.

        Third, what makes you say it’s untrue that Harris “is working tirelessly to secure a ceasefire in Gaza.”?
        And, what makes you say this is the only thing a politician has fabricated or misconstrued? I mean, you just sound like a delusional Trumper.

        March 3 https://www.npr.org/2024/03/03/1235712368/kamala-harris-gaza-ceasefire-israel-aid

        Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday called for an immediate, temporary cease-fire in Gaza to facilitate a hostage deal between Israel and Hamas, and pressed Israel to do more to increase the flow of aid to alleviate the “immense scale of suffering” among Palestinians. Her remarks are some of the strongest made by a senior U.S. official regarding the protection of civilians in Gaza.

        March 4 https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/kamala-harris-gaza-speech-watered-down-cease-fire-rcna141750

        The original draft of Harris’ speech, when it was sent to the National Security Council for review, was harsher on Israel about the dire humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip and the need for more aid than were the remarks she ultimately delivered, according to one of the current officials and the former official.

        July 25 https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/25/harris-netanyahu-israel-cease-fire-00171315

        Vice President Kamala Harris met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in private Thursday and followed it with a strikingly forceful call on his government to get a cease-fire deal done and ease the suffering of civilians in Gaza.

        July 26 https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/25/politics/harris-netanyahu-israel-hamas-ceasefire/index.html

        far-right members of the Israeli cabinet have pushed against a deal, criticizing pressure from Harris to secure one.

        Yesterday https://apnews.com/article/us-israel-blinken-hamas-palestinians-gaza-34f91f99c9a4f63e98134aaecb7af971

        U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Monday that Israel has accepted a proposal to bridge differences holding up a cease-fire and hostage release in Gaza

        Finally, if not AOC, who is “left enough” for you?

          Since March. 6 months ago. What’s changed other than they keep sending money and weapons?
