We are calling for Israel to ceasefire against Pell grant recipients who have opened and operated a small business in a disadvantaged area for at least three years.

maybe-later-kiddo : See by threatening to withhold your vote you managed to push them left, so now you gotta come vote for them! That's how the system works!

gigachad : Glad to know it works. I think I'll continue to threaten to withhold my vote until they do the rest of what I'm asking as well

hey white house gang, you don't have to call for a ceasefire, you can enforce one. In fact, you can "call" israel and tell them to ceasefire right now

I wonder whether this is kamala showing the basic semblance of a spine and openly going against biden here trying to force something to change, or it's just another tactic for the admin to continue wringing their hands and seeming like they want a ceasefire when it's really just a single phone call away

They pivoted to signaling in favor of Palestine, with the focus on talking about aid and ceasefires, but obviously not action. This isn't her going against the grain, it's just manufacturing consent as usual. They want to give their base an out for when they meet anyone who cares about the genocide.

"Vote Biden!"
"He's bombing Palestine"
"He's also sending aid maybe-later-honey"

The flour massacre must have shaken people in the white house, it was an inflection point in the administration's response.

doubt it had anything to do with palestinians dying. this is entirely due to the primaries.

Yeah, between this and Biden reaching out to Trump and the GOP directly on a border plan, I think 'Uncommitted' in Michigan got them shaking more than anything outside domestic American politics

Which is pretty disgusting.

I remember getting told on here that “literally no Democratic politician” thinks they can reach the Republican voter base. You haven’t met people working in Washington if you sincerely believe that. Biden just proved it by reaching out for a border “crisis” that most people on the fence aren’t really thinking about outside of Republican die hards.
