There are a lot of people who want to find a way to support the eventual Democratic nominee, but it’s the vice president’s responsibility to earn those votes at this moment,
Without an actual commitment to stop killing the children of Gaza, I don’t care about her empathy for them,
She will effectively continue arming Israel even as they act with impunity while paying lip service to try to win the election,
