    Yes, if she was actually innocent she would have been pushing to have Biden removed from office via the 25th Amendment so that she could take over his job and end the genocide as soon as possible. She’s a careerist and would never dare risk her own political career for something like that, so instead she’s meekly following along and making small gestures without committing.

    But, even a careerist could see the benefits of being the US president that ended support for apartheid and genocide.

    Don’t get me wrong, my expectations for US politicians are really low. It’s not like I’m donating money to her or anything, I’m just going to take a little bit of time to mail in a ballot because she might be less genocidal than Biden or Trump.

    She’s not standing up against the genocide as Vice, but she literally hasn’t actually done anything to advance it either.

    And that’s my red line - no doing genocide.

      She was the first one to call for a ceasefire and asking Israel to give aid to Gazans. She may be complicit but to say that she’s done nothing seems inaccurate.
