Biden loves Israel, that’s irrelevant to why the US supports Israel.\n\nEg. the house and Senate passed bills that explicitly said criticism of Israel was antisemitism. They didn’t do that because Biden loves Israel.\n\nIt’s actually an extremely high amount of wish casting Kamala Harris is materially different from Joe Biden. She will be Much better on rhetoric. Doubt her administration stops the flow of bombs or intimidating international organizations with the threat of sanctions for criticizing Israel.\n\nMost of the political positions in the state department and defence department will be the exact same people that Biden is using.\n\nEg. I would be shocked if she replaced Anthony blinken.\n\n\nEdit: leftists had zero percent to do with Biden being removed. I am sorry guys that is just misinformation. Supporting genocide was zero percent of why Biden was removed.\n\nIn fact, I would go further and say that AOC, Omar, Bernie, etc were the strongest defenders of Biden by the end.\n\nBiden got removed by establishment leaders, purple state and purple district Democrats and most importantly the mega donors that threatened to cut off all funding.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "You're right that material interests drive America's support for Israel, but that support has not always been unconditional. Reagan and HW Bush both told Israel to cut that shit out, and they did.

If you're already posting about electoral politics, why not just say \"I will vote for her if she demonstrates to me that she will create a permanent ceasefire in gaza\"?\n\n(I did not mean to imply that the left got Biden to drop out.
