If Harris started saying "from the river to the sea" at her rallies, she'd drop 10 points overnight. If she was still for a ban on fraking, she'd lose Pennsylvania by 10 points. Cheney is really a waste of energy but a non- factor.
Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

If she loses she'll just blame everyone but herself like Democrats always do. Obama is already trying to blame black men saying they are chauvinistic.
And she'd drop 5 more points in Michigan if she started the "from river to the sea" shit from her base that she would lose, even with 100% of the state's Muslims supporting her.
Why is the only other logical choice in your mind that Kamala must either support genocide or spread antisemtic statements? How in the world do you see that as the only two logical options?
I don't. I want us to cease funding offensive weapons, while still helping to fund the Iron Dome and to defend Isreal if they are attacked. That'd lose her 20 points in the polls because being nuanced would just piss off both sides, especially moderates. She would need real political capital to do so, and I hope that's her play once elected. It's obvious she can't show her cards on this till elected. Do I like the country's political balls being held by AIPAC? No. But it's the reality we live in.
A majority of Americans disapprove of Israeli action in Gaza:

I'm not sure where this narrative is coming from that it is an unpopular opinion to stand up to Netanyahu.
Being against genocide in Gaza is a populist statement and position. So are things like sensible regulations and remembering what happened in Flint, Michigan. This whole, "you must either be for genocide or an antisemite" claim you got going on isn't a good look.
And no one has done the polling in the Harris camp... the first priority is to protect our democracy. We won't be able to do anything about helping the Palestinians if Trump is elected. But I am sure you'll be happy you stuck to your moral high horse when millions of undocumented are put in camps themselves if the Felon wins along with when so many other atrocities start up here on US soil. Good for you!
She's now losing in Michigan. I'm not sure what evidence you need before the election. I'm not really enthusiastic about a candidate that needs to wait to see how supporting genocide affects her electability.
