I think you're going to need more than hope and guessing to make the case for California's top cop being in any way interested in stopping the genocide
I'm making the case for gambling, to be clear.
Biden, probably more than most American politicians, is a dedicated Zionist. He's not just supporting Israel for his career or because that's what his donors want or because he's advancing his Party's agenda, he's doing it for the love of the game. There was never even the slimmest chance he would stop Israel from committing all the atrocities it wants.
Harris is just a careerist, and she will eventually have to run for reelection. If conditions force her to break with Israel to save herself she'd do it in a heartbeat.
Harris staffers have described support for Israel as one of her core beliefs, and she's bad at politics. Wasn't even going to win her own state in the primary. I think Harris suddenly breaking with the party and security state is very unlikely.
Gambling is always unlikely. 🤷♀️
Besides she might be funny now that they can't hide her anymore.
Here's Abby Martin's rundown of Harris' bona fides: https://x.com/AbbyMartin/status/1815475592516837774
