A blockade on weapons to Israel now could avert a disaster for the Harris campaign

Polls show a majority of Americans favor it. It would energize the base and make inroads with those who are progressive but straddling the line on voting for Harris because of the Israel/Gaza issue.

But perhaps most importantly, it would cripple Israel's efforts to start a wider war and possibly draw us in before the election. This scenario could be a disaster for the campaign.

VP Harris has made it crystal clear that's not happening and I trust her judgement over you.

In case you haven't noticed, popular opinion doesn't guide policy decisions in this country.

You can’t just make up stuff and expect DU’ers to believe it. Try the bowels of Reddit maybe.

it probably shouldn't - in terms of caving to the demands of a segment that insist "you must do this - or we will not vote for democracy!"

AFTER THE ELECTION - - I think it is entirely possible that Harris may have her own methods .. positions to stake out ...
But not at point of a gun and some cheap hold up artists.
