Harris has been given so many warnings that her Gaza policy could cost her the election, and she’s been given so many chances to give a little ground on this issue. But at every turn, she keeps shouting her dissenters down, rather than finding ways to invite them into her coalition. Maybe their internal polling is real strong, and she feels confident that she can win without these dissenters. But at this point, if the Dems lose this election, they will have no one to blame but themselves. I hope fascism was worth enabling this genocide.

It would appear that shes shifted right and is bringing onboard Trump disillusioned Republicans. Liberals will always align with the far right rather than work with the left.

You watch, once she loses, the vitriol that will be unleashed towards the left for not blindly and unwaveringly supporting her and her pro-corporate genocidal policies will be immeasurable. They will rather try beat the left into obedient submission or purge them from the party completely and alienate them within the electorate for the next election than do some self analysis and admit they were wrong.
