The Uncommitted movement announced it wouldn’t be endorsing Kamala Harris for president over her failure to push for a new U.S. policy on the Gaza war.
I’m also hoping that this is just to win the election, and that once Harris is elected then she will have more freedom regarding this topic. (I can also see how she and Biden might privately disagree on this topic, and how Biden - as the sitting President - might have won out, but that then should change once the Presidents change.)
I might be totally unrealistic and off base here, unfortunately. But I do know that if Harris wins, it’s a better outcome for Gaza and Palestine than if she loses.
If she listened then did nothing, then the message would be she’s heartless after hearing about all the suffering.
There was no way to win this for Harris. Politically she did the right thing for the campaign.
