    People are extra sensitive about Harris/Israel criticism because of the extensive “don’t vote for genocide!” astroturfing campaigns flooding social media to discourage left voter turnout in swing states. This is going to be a fucking close election and anything that even obliquely discourages left voter engagement is going to get side eye until we’re past the election.

    Also, re: Israel:

    That’s our Israel foreign policy in a nutshell and we really should do better. Hopefully once the Kissinger fans all die out we will.
