Don’t also forget the liability Biden had with Arab-Americans over Gaza. Kamala is not Commander-in-Chief, so even though she’s part of the administration she carries none of that baggage.
Can’t wait to see what the disinformation brigade cooks up for Lemmy now that they can’t keep complaining about Gaza.
I get the issue over Gaza, and I guess that could make some people stay home. But, can anybody honestly think that the guy whose signature policy was a ban on muslims entering the US was going to be better on Gaza than Biden?
Anyhow, you’re right that a change in leader offers an opportunity for a new policy on Gaza. I’m sure Netanyahu will redouble his efforts to get Trump elected. OTOH, I’m not convinced Kamala will necessarily be any better than Biden. The US has been backing Israel for decades, vetoing any UN security council resolution that touches Israel, etc. I’d love it if Harris cut ties to Israel, but I can’t see it happening.
Oh, of course U.S. policy at large won’t change. It hasn’t for decades. The difference here, for the election at least, is that Kamala doesn’t have to balance words vs actions. Biden and Trump have both lost Arab-Americans. Kamala doesn’t have that challenge.
