Harris is just being honest about what this is and always has been, red or blue.
No care for anything but maintaining the illusion of choice, fundraising and serving wealth and power.
One thing she has to realize is that there's a very large portion of the electorate who wants the genocide to stop. A good portion of those people are going to be very vocal about it. Just a simple difference in tone would have changed some of the perception of that event.
Something like "listen, I hear you, and we are working on it"
Biden has been saying that the admin is working on a ceasefire so she should have reflected that instead of "I am speaking now." That works on the debate stage with your opponent, not a potential voter.
Clearly she's not going to break from Biden's policy while he's still in office and unfortunately won't do what she should do in office and that's suspend arms to Israel. That's the reality we unfortunately live in and it's inept to expect any American President to do so in the next four years. I would HOPE that she is tougher on Israel if she wins. If the reports are to be believed that behind the scenes she is not as supportive of Israel as Biden then that's a very tiny baby step but it's something.
I don't know I'm just working out my thoughts here, but a very disappointing thing to see. On a strictly electoral front the campaign needs to find a stance on Gaza that is supportive, but with how things are politically it's tricky. Like of course it should be to end the Israeli occupation, eventually dissolve the state of Israel, and give Palestine all of its land back, but that is not the reality we face as of now.
Also there is a good majority of the electorate that doesn't care about Gaza or it's not their top priority when it comes to the election. They have to find a way to appease everyone in a sense but that is going to be difficult.
Even though a meeting may have been secured, most likely the heckling won't stop until concessionary commitments are obtained that aren't vague platitudes

This is cool and all but the average voter probably won't even know that it happened. Everyone saw the clip from tonight. It's a horrible look and she needs to start doing damage control immediately

not even genocide is worse that Donald Trump

Some of the responses to that from the vote blue crowd is insane
They're really just blue MAGA and they don't even realize it lol
Even 100 year old Biden, the life long Zionist ally due to a legit deep ideological entrenchment of religion and commitment to adversarial american foreign policy, had the mental capacity and political instincts to know it’s probably a good idea to keep the mask on when responding hecklers about Gaza (especially in god damn Michigan!!)
He had the whole whispery ‘I’m trying folks!’ or shouting at the audience that ‘they have a point folks! They’re angry and they have a point!’
If Kamala just did that, she would’ve been fine. She could’ve done a corny liberal momala ‘I hear you. I hear you I hear you, mkay?’ and it would’ve at least kept her momentum going (I think her momentum will keep going regardless, but yeah)
@Himothee come get ya girl since you were so confident she'd handle the Palestine situation well lol

Apparently expecting a presidential candidate to earn your vote instead of you just giving it to them is not normal...
Apparently not being enthusiastic about voting for a presidential candidate who brushed off and talk down to protesters who are protesting a genocide (that the candidate is lowkey involved with) is not normal...
She needs to actually call for an arms embargo or some kind of cessation of support to israel. She just keeps doubling down on supporting israel so until then you are an absolute clown for believing any of this lip service bullshit to be honest
Shout out to the organizers nd activist tho they are the only ones who are doing real work

I'm really hoping she doesn't get complacent and let this honeymoon phase support get to her head
