That might be true but it would have set herself up for a lie that would then be weaponized by Trump for another four years. A lot of people in this country don’t want a liar in office, that’s why they didn’t vote Trump.
So while she said she wouldn’t do anything different than Biden on immigration and not stop funding Israel. Those would have been lies if she did. Saying you’ll change things also builds distrust in past government and our well working systems. This rhetoric Trump champions and puts us in the problem we have today. We can see those lies in effect today as Trump ignores the voters he won from briefly talking about Gaza and still funding those wars.
- mandmandam 2y ago> it would have set herself up for a lie No. Committing genocide - murdering tens of thousands of children - nullifies any previous weapons contracts. That's obvious. Here's the specific law against it [0]. If you want to insist that Harris would be "forced" to keep arming Israel because of contracts, I do hope you'll have a read of it first. 0 - Section 502B of the Foreign Assistance Act (FAA), codified at 22 U.S.C. § 2304(a)
- righthand 2y agoUnfortunately like Trump, that spending is out of her hands. That spending like all spending is set by the legislature through bills. She could have done nothing and saying she could is a lie you’re telling yourself.
