Kamala Harris Interview Sparks Backlash From Progressives

… Israel-Hamas War

Many progressive voters have said Harris needs to end Israel's war against Hamas or cease providing Israel with weapons used in the fighting. But in her interview with Bash, Harris made it clear that she is "unequivocal and unwavering in my commitment to Israel's defense and its ability to defend itself."

"That's not going to change," she said.

That stance angered some progressives who have voiced their support for the Palestinians, including Representative Rashida Tlaib.

"That's right. War crimes and genocide will continue," Tlaib posted on X (formerly Twitter) with a clip of the interview.

Journalist Kylie Cheung posted on X: "What's insane about this is that the democratic voters, activists, and majority of voters who want this aren't asking for her to create any new policy, they're asking her to follow existing law that prohibits sending weapons to countries that are committing war crimes

Fracking

…Briahna Joy Gray, the former press secretary for Senator Bernie Sanders, posted on X: "90 seconds of Kamala bragging about how much she loves fracking."

Nonprofit news organization Democracy Now! posted on X: "Kamala Harris says she no longer supports a ban on fracking. Journalist @davidsirota responds to her CNN interview and says the U.S. must cut fossil fuels in addition to investing in clean energy to reach its climate goals."

It’s been 50 years since Democrats could say what they really want to do.

I speculated here in the past that if Kamala and Walz are spouting off about how the woke stuff is history then what if the Squad and others believe it and get mad.

Hope some of them are mad now. They don’t want the phony moderate stuff from their comrades.

[bray]

Is she for or against fracking? Yes.

All I Really Want to Do ——the Byrds’ version

I ain’t lookin’ to compete with you
Beat or cheat or mistreat you
Simplify you, classify you
Deny, defy or crucify you

All I really want to do
Is baby, be friends with you

No, I ain’t lookin’ to fight with you
Frighten you or up tighten you
Drag you down or bring you down
Chain you down or bring you down

I don’t want to fake you out
Take or shake or forsake you out
I ain’t lookin’ for you to feel like me
See like me or be like me

I don’t want to meet your kin
Make you spin or do you in
Or select you or dissect you
Or inspect you or reject you

All I really want to do
Is baby, be friends with you
Baby, be friends with you

They still won’t vote for Trump and Kamala knows it.

[know.your.why]

Cupid Kamablah STunt totally dodges the question from Dana Bash “Why did you change your position on fracking”? Democrats are incapable of admitting that they’re wrong. Fk I hate these people!

[FrankRizzo890]

While I would prefer that they DID, I’d also accept if they didn’t vote at all and encouraged their friends to do the same.

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

Dems are worried that thousands of Hamas sympathizers will abstain. Cutting off their noses to spite their faces.

[Beowulf9]

Yes. It’s a tough election season and Kamala is tap dancing through and around the issues.

[BlueStateRightist]

“They still won’t vote for Trump and Kamala knows it.”

Of course, but they might stay home and not vote at all. That gives Trump Michigan.

[dartuser]

Fine, I'll accept that she is against banning fracking in a newly-acquired epiphany ... but that is a far far cry from saying you won't do everything in your power via regulations/permits/etc to make it impossible or non-economical to do.

Just mandate impossible standards and you will effectively ban fracking.

[Spok]

Kamala had her fingers crossed.

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

That might keep some votes away from Kamala if they want to virtue signal. I don’t think any of us would trust her further than we could throw a giant palestinian rocket. She changes her “values” at the drop of a hat.

[Eleutheria5]

“That stance angered some progressives who have voiced their support for the Palestinians, including Representative Rashida Tlaib.”

I support the Palestinians. Free them from Hamas and UNRWA (is there a difference?).

[MinorityRepublican]

Kamala Harris needs the $$$ from the Jewish Democrats in the party.

Also, she is counting on Walz and Whitmer to count the ballots in Minnesota and Michigan so they'll win even if the Muslims boycott this election.

[frank ballenger]

You’re right, of course. Their hatred of Trump is psychotic.
But some could withdraw and not vote at all.

Example is the Christians who do not even register or vote (30-40% by some estimates) until everything is precisely perfect. Still waiting.

But most woke idiots will try to save “democracy” (Marxist mob rule over minority ideas such as freedom) and avoid climate change extinction of the world by voting AGAINST Trump as you say.
