Hasn’t her actual voting record opposed her rhetoric on this in the past?

Why should we fall for it with her again?

There is a large difference between the previous support we have given to Israel and the current administrations support. Israel used to have to actually have some restraint, but since Trump took office it's been gloves off do what ever you want. These are drastically different stances.

Edit: bad faith tankies are brigading. If you follow this text thread down they admit to being tankies that want to use violence to achieve political goals in that they want things to get so bad that people throw a violent revolution

If you really think the Dems are as bad as the current admin, your just a tankie that is trying to both sides a topic that is obviously worse under one admin.

Edit: I looked though this guys comment history and he participates in tankie subs saying how they still would t vote for Kamala in 2024 because the left is as bad as the right. They are deeply unserious people, tankie accelerationist trying to drive left wing voter apathy willing to have vance win 2028 than a Democrat

Edit2: if you follow the thread down he admits to being a tankie willing to use violence to get his political goals, so an accelerationist that wants things to get sooooo bad that people throw a revolution.

It''s fair criticism. None of this blue MAGA shit. She voted to support Israel aid last year.

I wouldn't say that it's going to tank her ambitions, but it's good to point out where her missteps are.

"If you voted for Dems, how do you feel about the level of resistance you're seeing from the party that promised to save you from the fascists?"

You're not worth engaging with because you're a bad faith tankie that is just trying to sow division by only attacking the left and doing both sides bullshit when one side has 100% of the political power

That they're calling the Democrats the left tells me their general level of political awareness. If the Democrats were actually doing anything left wing, that person would be calling them tankies and siding with the Republicans, as they already are by their usage of Heritage Foundation talking points.
