    You’re not wrong in a sense. The problem is she is refusing to promise to fix things regarding this topic when she is sworn in.

      You’re not getting what I’m saying.

      If she were to make those promises, it would incite AIPAC and corporate megadonors to use dump trucks of money against her, and would diminish her chances of winning. That’s it. That’s all I’m saying. And that’s why I’m reserving judgement for the moment.

      Edit: derp, it helps to read the entire sentence instead of 80% of it. Just adhd things 🫠

        And I’m not disagreeing with you. All I’m saying is these protestors want her to stand up to AIPAC and the others from now. They have no guarantee that even if she does get voted in that she would do anything and they want that. A guarantee. They want her to earn their vote. You can disagree with the stance and you’re absolutely not wrong in saying she will piss off groups like AIPAC if she does but these people have an absolute right to withhold their vote for her if she doesn’t give them what they want. What that means come election day; I’ll leave someone more knowledgeable in American politics to say.
