Given Biden's support for Israel soured a lot of younger voters, this is a good strategy to potentially get them back

Stupid as it really is, she’s also immunized against bullshit because her husband is Jewish.

If she wins do we call him the first man, or do we just call him the first Lady anyway?

He's the Second Gentleman right now. So he'd be the First Gentleman.

It’s really nice that the only “Never Kamala” people seem to have already been deep on team Trump.

There were plenty of (supposedly) Never Biden people who were saying they’d be staying home instead. Kamala puts all those people back into play. She could reasonably get back the Biden or maybe even the Obama coalition of voters.

I would hope most of us who were saying never Biden would have voted down ballot. That was my plan. Harris is a new ballgame though.

I'm glad we don't need to consider this anymore, but this is just so foolish and short sighted. By abstaining, you would have been actively contributing to the imminent demise of the Palestinian people. If you care about human lives more than making a hollow political statement, you would have voted for Biden. Because the alternative will likely give Israel carte blanche to eradicate Palestine.

Like I'm glad people are finally aware of the situation there that has been ongoing for decades, but this presidential election is not the time to turn it into a deal breaker for so many reasons... The main being that Trump is, and I cannot stress this enough, sssoooooooooooo muuuuuccchhh wwoooooooorrrrrsssseee than Biden when it comes to Israel.

"Genocide Joe" idiots clearly could not care less about the lives of Palestinians. If they did, they would have been campaigning for Biden. Fucking clueless.
