So if we take moral responsibility for Harris’s stance on Gaza, surely you will take moral responsibility for Trumps. Is that too far of a leap? I mean Harris isn’t president. She doesn’t dictate policy, yet. Her being responsible for the current situation is just as far removed as you being responsible for a Trump win.
The modern vice presidency is a position of significant power and is widely seen as an integral part of a president’s administration. The presidential candidate selects the candidate for the vice presidency, as their running mate in the lead-up to the presidential election. While the exact nature of the role varies in each administration, since the vice president’s service in office is by election, the president cannot dismiss the vice president, and the personal working-relationship with the president varies, most modern vice presidents serve as a key presidential advisor, governing partner, and representative of the president.
More: The arms sales to Israel are dictated by Congress, not the president. The president has very limited ability to pause certain arms shipments to Israel.
House Republicans actually passed a bill which would prevent Biden from doing that pausing. That bill never made it to the floor of the Democrat-controlled Senate, and so Biden did pause certain arms shipments.
This is just misinformation. The president has the ability and arguably the obligation to halt arms transfers to Israel.
FADEL: Now, you’ve written that a case could be made that Biden is legally required to stop funding Israel’s war. How?
BLANK: Well, there are at least three different laws that come into play here. One is the Humanitarian Aid Corridor Act. One is the Leahy Amendment on Foreign Assistance Act. And one is the conventional arms transfer policy, which is a different type of legislation. The clear text of all three of these pieces of legislation really would seem to prohibit or restrict the ability of the U.S. government to transfer aid. This, I should emphasize, is under existing U.S. law.

What responsibility? Harris is not responsible for anything genocide related right?
Similarly I have this advice: not voting for Harris does not mean you did not vote for Harris.
No, she’s not. The vice president can only affect congressional spending if they’re casting the tie breaking vote in the senate.
The vice-president is what one calls soft-power, and you are voting for a party, not for a person.
In 3 months for now, we will see she did not change shit and you will still whine that she was the right choice because trump would have been worst.
3 months from now she’ll have been president for less than a month.
Pick a lane.
In two sentences you went from incredulous to batshit.
