    What do you expect her to do? Try to tackle Netanyahu into the Irish Embassy so he can be arrested and set to the Hague?

      She could just have the police grab him. And, yes, hold him in jail until he gets a date for transfer to the Hague.

      Well, does she want votes or campaign money for doing nothing?

        She wants to stop the genocide in Gaza, making both the candidates look bad by openly opposing it pressures them to make their policy less dogshit. If winning was more important to democrats than genocide, they’d drop the genocide. Sadly, it seems they’d rather lose the election than stop the genocide.

          No one is losing because of Gaza. Very few of the American voters actually care about that topic.

            How many politically-active people who would be campaigning for the dems right now got the shit beaten out of them by the cops instead?

            Genocide matters to the politically active people who aren’t just reliable voters, but who even get other people to vote.

            Hell the whole reason Biden had to drop out was that he was massively unpopular, the genocide contributed to this, and every dogshit position of Biden (or Trump in the case of immigration) that Kamala has openly endorsed has hurt her popularity.

              I know plenty of people who will be voting for Kamala who got their ass kicked during the BLM protests. So, I dunno what you’re on about. The only people still fooled by the Green Party are ML.

                The BLM protests were under Trump. The fact that they got their ass kicked increased the likelihood they voted (and organized) against the government who did it. I was talking about Palestine protests.

                Someone who cares enough about genocide that they went out to protest, is very likely to be someone who would have been at least phone banking for Harris if her election was necessary to stop Trump from resuming the genocide. But no, unlimited genocide is more important than winning for the dems.

                The only people still fooled by the Green Party are ML.

                Green isn’t ML, marxists have their own parties, PSL, CPUSA, and (kinda) DSA.

                lmao you really can’t imagine someone would be against genocide without being manipulated by evil foreigners

                  The only people being fooled, regardless of their political opinions, are the ML.

                  Jill is just in it for the cash. She will say whatever. She doesn’t have to keep her promises because she knows she won’t ever have to.

                  So maybe if she would do something besides running her mouth, then yes… I might be interested.
