    All she has to do is tell Benny to fuck off and not give him weapons. Thats it. Nobody is asking for a miracle, everyone is demanding to stop enabling and abetting.

      She cannot do that unfortunately. She’s vice president in a government that explicitly doesn’t do that, and she can’t openly deviate while running.

          From a foreign policy perspective it’s extremely undesirable to have the President and VP provide different messages. Who should (foreign) diplomats listen to? Who should be send to peace negotiations if different members of the cabinet have different positions? I don’t think something like that has ever happened.

            Harris is not the Secretary of State. This isn’t the GWB administration where the VP is calling the shots,either. Harris wields no power regarding foreign policy. There is no good reason for her to stick with Biden’s policy on this.

            There’s certainly excuses and bad reasons, though.
