    Ah yes because the VP has the authority to command the armed forces of the United States

    Genuinely fuck all the way off. Understand how the fucking government works and be angry at Biden, because HE can stop this. The VP has zero power to do anything, so long as the president is still conscious, which he is. Stop shitting on the best chance we have to avoid a fascist fucking regime. Jesus fucking christ.

    Unless a bill comes up to a tie vote in the Senate, no, there’s literally nothing Harris could do.

    Even if we voted to cut off funding to Israel today, the genocide would continue because Israel doesn’t need our help to keep killing Palestinians.

    Bullets for kids are entirely too cheap.

    “This is not a normal war. The war in Ukraine has killed 500 kids in two years and the war in Gaza has killed over 10,000 in less than five months. We have seen wars before but this is something that is a dark stain on our shared humanity.”
