Because Harris told them, multiple times, month after month after month that she wanted a cease fire, a hostage release, and a two state solution.
Who gives a shit what she said when her actions completely contradict that empty rhetoric? Joe Biden also claimed to support a two state solution while giving Israel every bomb, weapon, equipment, funding and support they needed to wipe Palestine off the map. Please elaborate on what her actual plan was to achieve even one of these things or why you think this wasn’t just more of the same empty rhetoric we’ve gotten from Democratic candidates over the past several decades.
At one of her rallies, she had someone removed after they stated that Israel was committing genocide and made sure to release a statement that she “did not and does not agree” with this fact. She also stated that she would not stop arms shipments to Israel. You call others “low information voters” while engaging in the very low information behavior that you accuse others of engaging in because you support party over policy to the point that you’re supporting genocide in addition to all the other inaction and bullshit promises that have lead us to this point.
If you’re so concerned about Trump or Trump-lile individuals getting elected, why do you continue to support the controlled opposition party that seemingly only exists to make the election seem legitimate? A party that, when the cameras were off, bent over backward to ensure Trump was elected again for the second time?
What a surprise, the standard “they have no power to do anything to help” excuse whenever any Democrat is rightly criticized for their inaction on any issue. We heard this a lot during the 15 months of him enabling a genocide including those several months after SCOTUS declared the president immune from the law and after Harris had already lost; excuse after excuse. Meanwhile Republicans always manage to steamroll through their legislation or orders regardless of whether they have the authority, power, or majority because Democrats always either enable them or roll over for them.
Hmm, it almost seems as if the whole “leftist,” human rights, working class support rhetoric is just an act like it’s all a fucking scripted WWE match. It’s funny that even when the Democrats have a supermajority, they still have some excuse for why they can’t help the country or improve the average person’s quality of life.
It’s also funny that all you’ve done here is latch onto two words from my comment in order to derail the discussion and steer it away from the factual evidence demonstrating that she did and does support Israel’s genocide in stark contrast to your false claims that she is against this one-sided war. You can’t deny that she had someone ejected from her rally for calling it a genocide. You can’t deny that she wanted to continue arming Israel. You can’t deny that she stated a genocide isn’t happening. You can’t deny that she spent half her campaign palling around with yet another war criminal Dick Cheney. Instead, you’d rather pretend that none of this is happening and lash out at the people who are done pretending.
It’s not that “they don’t have any power” it’s that there’s LITERALLY NOTHING the VP can do.
They don’t set the policy, that’s the job of the President.
They don’t pass legislation, that’s the job of the House and Senate. If the Senate is tied on a bill, the VP can break the tie, but outside that THEY HAVE NO ROLE.
As an individual citizen, the VP can’t engage in diplomacy.
All she could do is exactly what she did, run for President on a platform of cease fire, hostage release, two state solution.
“BuH BuH WhY DiDn’t sHe dO AnYtHiNg??!?!?”
You might as well ask why J.D. Vance doesn’t do anything, or why didn’t Biden do anything as V.P. That’s not what the job is.
Stop blaming the VP because you don’t comprehend how it all works.

“Her actions”? You realize that, as Vice President, she had no official actions on Israel or Gaza, you get that right?
Her job was a) to cast the tiebreaking vote in the Senate if anything came up 50/50, and b) to be President if something happened to Biden.
That’s IT. That’s all the VP gets to do.
So when it comes to what she says vs. what she did, all she CAN do is tell you what she would do as President.
Cease fire, hostage release, two state solution. Over and over again.
Compared with Trump’s “Get it over with quickly, it’s making you look bad.”
