      This is a rally, not a town hall. PLUS she did meet with them, before the rally, then mentioned that when they first interrupted her rally, then she finally told them to shut up because they kept interrupting in a completely nonproductive way

      She met with some of the leaders of the uncommitted movment right before this very rally. Her strategy is not to completely ignore it

      A poor choice of words made in the spur of the moment doesn’t necessarily reflect how she’s been acting about it

      The good old ‘shut up or we’ll give you a proto-fascist’ vibe. Very reminiscent of Hillary in 2016.

            No, she didn’t. You just think that’s the case. What she subtly said was something different. The pro-gaza population in the US isn’t going to sway the election. If you think so, you’re 1000% wrong.

                  As the campaign heats up and campuses re-open for the fall it is crucial that Harris’s campaign figures out how to talk to and about people who are horrified by US policy in Gaza.

                  This could be her “covid kryptonite” if she doesn’t figure it out quickly.

                    Not to be super obtuse, but the US elections that we’re in the midst of are about placating US voters. Not the international community, and not very small and specific groups of said people. Gaza is less “on the ticket” than you might think.

                    Nobody cares about the “Uncommitted” group. Trying to make noise is one thing, but actually getting large portions of the population on your side is another.

                    Making noise as an opposition group at a public rally is like the lowest common denomination. Pretty lame.
