Controversiaga 16,175 Posted August 10, 2024 Share Posted August 10, 2024 Kamala just walked on stage, and about 5 minutes in, chants from pro Palestinian protestors can be heard Kamala stops her speech and addresses the issue- saying "NOW IS TIME FOR CEASE FIRE AND WE MUST BRING HOME THE HOSTAGES" She said that President Joe Biden and she are working around the clock to make this happen. watch live or in full below Pronounced like “Balenciaga” .

HelloHangoverz 17,452 Posted August 10, 2024 Share Posted August 10, 2024 It is slightly kafkaesque how we subject this woman to far less scrutiny or microscope than literally any other politician. Like if it was donald trump saying the same thing we'd laugh at how obvious the PR move is after the recent backlash. I kinda get it but like...just an observation lmao. I'm all for doing what needs to be done to get her over the finish line Availability is not weakness Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for doing what needs to be done to get her over the finish line PR move? im confused. you thought what she said wasn't genuine ? do you think she should've done the same thing she did the first time? you don't look at this and think " she saw how what she did the first time wasn't a great response and upset people. so this time she corrected her mistake and acknowledge and aligned and reassured the protestors that theyre being heard and something is trying to be done" ????

faysalaaa 5,336 Posted August 10, 2024 Share Posted August 10, 2024 Even though I dont have much hope she will do anything about Israel, im glad she addressed it the correct way, and knows that Arab Americans will hold her accountable for it. I also think its strategically a mistake to include Biden, when she needs to distance herself from his approach to Israel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for doing what needs to be done to get her over the finish line Respectfully disagree. Kamala has advocated for a ceasefire for a while and spoke with the protest/advocacy groups who shouted her down in private the other night and secured their endorsement. I personally think she’s the real deal on this, but didn’t want the optics of getting trampled by protestors at the rally in MI, realized that that probably wasn’t the right stance and course corrected her response this time. Keep in mind she’s been on the campaign trail for just shy of a month atp, so she’s building the tracks while the train is fully in motion. Ofc PR is a consideration, but I don’t think her correcting a messaging error should necessarily be interpreted as insincerity.

I would be happy to hear any politician correct their mistake and use their platform to stand up and say the right thing. of course she and her team realized she didn’t do the right thing the first time and I’m sure she decided she would act differently next time. There is nothing not sincere about that imo . Pronounced like “Balenciaga” . Emphasis on the “Ga” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpadesToStart 3,810 Posted August 10, 2024 Share Posted August 10, 2024 I think there are a lot of indicators that Kamala is significantly more sympathetic to Gaza than Biden. However, she’s in a difficult position in terms of what she can say right now. 1. She is the sitting VP within the Biden administration, so she can’t just fully crap on Biden’s stance and his work thus far. 2. Being anti-Israel is not an electable position to take in a US general election. That’s the gross reality, so she needs to play the game because she can’t do any good for the situation if she’s not elected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
