    Don’t be dense. Consider the context.

    The DNC stance on Gaza is a direct result of the fact that AIPAC has a metric fuckload of money they’re going to deploy against her if she comes out too strongly against the Gaza genocide. It’s utterly fucked up, but we have Citizens United to thank for that. So the choice is between walking a fine line on public statements made before the election, and basically handing Trump a massive financial shot in the arm. I’m hoping she’s planning to put Netanyahu on notice after the election, and cut off military aid after she’s sworn in.

      Having now heard her speech, I wouldn’t waste too much time on that hope you expressed.
