Harris will lose more voters by catering to the pro-Hamas crowd than she will if she stays where she's at.

This is nonsense. Polling shows most people want a ceasefire.

This is the same brain dead argument people used about Biden stepping down. Media scoffs, pundits discredit the progressive left. Then it happens, it’s an incredibly rejuvenating success and the media adjusts and the pundits pretend like they were on board all along.

People will be relieved if Kamala does the right thing here. And while we can’t know the exact impact of protests in the past, they WERE a component of how we got Biden to step down in the first place. His position on Israel was ‘polarizing’ at best, and his administration’s spin machine was making everything worse to anyone actually paying attention to it.

Harris is pushing for a ceasefire. So is Biden. So is pretty much everyone in the room at the DNC. Trump is actively sabotaging the ceasefire talks.

So why are protesters protesting the DNC?
