And more importantly Arun, when she loses (and I suspect she will given this is 'too little too late' as you've also pointed out), it will be a clear indicator that her unequivocal support for the Gaza genocide was the driving factor behind her defeat. It could be a watershed moment in terms of loosening the grip that AIPAC et al have on the duopoly, as for the first time a presidential candidate would've failed to win the Oval Office despite backing Israel unconditionally. Of course a stronger indicator of this would be Harris' failure coupled with the Greens breaking the five percent threshold.

That said, I don't expect the Dems to attribute such an outcome to Gaza, so it will be crucial to vocalise the direct causal relationship post November 5th as voting data becomes available.

Kamala and Biden have been saying this since the war began. All they need to do is stop funding and sending weapons to Israel. Her statements today ring hollow and will likely not sway a single voter.
