right... lets erode Harris support, because her opponent is so much more sympathetic to Palestine's tragedy. This now looks more like protests for the sake of protests rather then desire for change. In present political situation they need Harris to win first and then protest/coerse/plead/etc for policy changes. Calling her Killer Harris will only strengthen the opponent and all will be lost for Palestine. Protests need to target strictly current president and policies to deliniate the pressing needs and who can deliver on them

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Why do you think their protest is actually changing hearts and minds?
They're already starting...
Pro-Palestine protesters have disrupted the DNC24 delegate welcome party at Navy Pier tonight. (video)
Logic in protests? Lol
Especially with this gaza situation where the public isn't actually educated on the geopolitical situation (Iran proxy war) that's causing it.
Do any of these protestors honestly believe Palestineans will fare the same or better with trump in office?
Either they do and are thus too dumb to be worth listening to or they don't care about the people they profess to defend.
Edit: fixed a homonym.
No. They believe that Harris is more likely to be swayed than Trump is.
"Why did you do that?" said Kamala Frog to the US PCN Scorpion. "Now we will both drown."
'we could not help ourselves. It is our nature.'
In the story, the only suffer long enough to die.
In reality, we're talking about my kids living in a country I wouldn't recognize. Vastly different than when I was their age.
Good. Someone needs to keep them honest. (Or as close to it as you can in American politics)
I'm under no illusions. Citizens United means all this is PR. All politicians will go back to ignoring us and counting their filthy lucre Nov 6. But if principled people can get concessions out of these fakes then godspeed to them.
