Even inside the Harris campaign, there was dissent about whether she needed to take a more aggressive stance for Gaza.

A Harris organizer who worked on youth turnout said that senior campaign officials gave them an order: When they sent out mass volunteer or fundraising emails and people replied by asking about Gaza, they were told to mark it as “no response.” The result? They seldom ended up engaging with voters on that issue.

“We also didn’t create a new category for Gaza responses out of fear that category would be leaked. Instead we were told to mark them as ‘no response,’” the organizer said, faulting top Harris campaign leaders for failing to address the issue. “The only ‘clowns’ out there are those who were in senior leadership and decided to abdicate on this issue, who silenced a Palestinian speaker at the DNC, and who told us to ignore it every time a voter asked us about Gaza.”

    Just because you say it’s just “a take” and not backed up by anything doesn’t mean that it’s “a take” and not backed up by anything. You’re certainly entitled to your opinion, but that does not make correct. Feel free to give me some sources backing up your ”a take,” and I will immediately dismiss them. ;)

      You’re the one who made the extraordinary claim that the Uncommitted leaders wants to destroy America, so you need to provide that proof, not me there bucko.

      And for you to straight up admit you’d simply dismiss any evidence brought to you pretty much solidifies you’re take is shit and your not exactly a bright person or serious person.

        If I thought I could convince you, I would try. If you can’t see the forest through the trees by now, there’s nothing I can do to help you.
