    Harris came out hard against Israel’s genocide today. Argument already moot.

      No she didn’t. She’s just saying the same thing since the convention. It would be nice if she would commit to following US law and state there will be a halt to the weapon shipments

        Then you want to be upset with the Republican held House of Representatives who drafted a bill to prevent this when Biden tried to do it the first time, explicitly going against established US law and also illegally withholding salary from any government official who tries to challenge it.

        Here’s the bill which has already passed in the House, voted Yea by 208 Republicans (3 nay, 6 abstaining) and voted Nay by 184 Democrats (16 Yea, 13 abstain).

        Here’s the vote tally if you’d like to write some letters about it to your local representatives.
