Harris won’t cut or condition aid to Israel, former aide says [Jacob Magid | 20 August 2024 | The Times of Israel]
  • No, I think it’s a horrific policy. But constant messaging that Harris is bad because she’s going to continue the Biden administration Israel policies without also pointing out that the current alternative is just as bad or worse on this exact issue might help convince some fence sitters that Trump might be a better choice.

  • You do realize it won’t be any different if her opponent is elected, right?

    And his base will love him all the more for it.

    More Americans disapprove of Israel’s military action in Gaza than approve, and their opinions of Netanyahu are also negative on balance. Republicans remain much more likely than Democrats and independents to approve of Israel’s military action and to view Netanyahu favorably, consistent with the party groups’ broader opinions of Israel and the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. With a possible cease-fire deal and Netanyahu’s U.S. visit looming, Americans’ views of Israel and its leader could shift again in the coming weeks.

    These articles aren’t exactly the most recent, but illustrate that this isn’t a problem unique to Harris or the Biden administration.

  • Why don’t more politicians retire? A medical anthropologist explains how the US could benefit from a mandatory retirement age
  • Probably depends on the positions of the federal employees. The tech chief over the Voyager project might be a crusty old scientist (I don’t know… I’m just guessing) but I’ll bet he knows more about that spacecraft than anyone else on earth. If he’s still sharp, it’s probably best for him to stick around as long as he’s willing.

  • COVID surging in California. Is it time to bring back masks, hand sanitizer? What experts say
  • May I ask why? Legit question. I still occasionally see folks masking and such in my area, but the vast majority of people have gone back to pre-pandemic behaviors. Cases still pop up here and there but most folks treat it like flu… if you get sick, stay home until you’re better.

    If you’ve got an immune issue, I get it. But otherwise, why bother?

  • A Test for Harris: How to Talk About the Green New Deal: In the Senate, Kamala Harris backed an expansive climate plan. Young activists want her to embrace it again, but so do Republicans.
  • Second, they need to strip out anything not related to climate change.

    Then it goes nowhere. It’s just more political posturing. Absolutely 100% entirely dead in the water. The Senate and House are both so split down the middle by both parties, it’ll require bipartisan support. It necessarily will have to have riders associated, otherwise it won’t receive the support it needs.

    Yes… this is exactly how wasteful legislation gets passed, but it’s entirely outside the realm of possibility in the real world
