I'm saying that's the starting position of her policies.
Continuity with the previous administration.
She will choose what she separates on.
No one would assume she has no policies.

What's a more accurate source if exit polls are notoriously incorrect in your opiniom?
I like Pew's Validated Voters approach.
An examination of the 2016 electorate, based on validated voters
One of the biggest challenges facing those who seek to understand U.S. elections is establishing an accurate portrait of the American electorate and the
www.pewresearch.org
They did one for 2020 and 2022 as well.
(I put the 2016 one in because they go into the rationale more there, I find.)
Exit polls are useful, but are known to not be super reliable.
Going over the data later and cross checking it is more accurate, but of course it takes much longer and so people remember those instant polls first.
What makes you think the Republican House is going to pass a law embargoing arms sales to Israel in the next 90 days?
What makes you think Netanyahu is going to stop the military attacks, let alone the genocide, which you have defined as broader than just the military action, in the next 90 days?
It was Biden that ok'd the transfer of $3.5 billion in US bombs to be used on schools and tents.
its illegal for the US to be funding war crimes, all Biden has to do is declare he won't break the law and will respect ICC, ICJ and UNSC rulings.
This is under Biden's control, not the GOP.
Netanyahu won't stop the genocide, if he does his career is done.
Someone else has to force him to stop.
Do you think the genocide can and should continue?
That's not an arms embargo.
And who is going to do that and how?
How much military force does the US need to exert to stop him?
What other countries should be involved in this overthrow of Israel as a sovereign nation?
Because if that is going to happen in less than 90 days, that isn't a question of "pressure", now is it?
It's a call for regime change / government overthrow.
No.
I don't approve of Israel's actions at all.
Why are you fixated only on that move?
There are options.
The US just needs to say they support the UNSC call for a ceasefire, support the ICC warrants, the ICJ charges and will as a result stop all financing of Israel along with declaring that funding settlements is illegal. They could declare AIPAC foreign lobbyists.
Do those and the genocide will be ended.
Meanwhile, Yemen has still shut down the gulf, Erdogan has threatened action against Israel and Iran has been working with Putin to supply and prep for the response to the assassinations in Iran and Lebanon.
Israel is bombing Yemen (where 70 Israeli/US militia were killed last week), Syria, Lebanon and threatening Egypt.
This threatens to escalate unless someone intervenes.
Who else
Maybe, but it appears here like the way you might not approve of Taylor Swift's latest tune.
The person didn't offer other options.
It was arms embargo or nothing.
That was the whole point.
Really?
I love how solving the middle east is so easy.
So it is a yes on "The US needs to overthrow Israel" for you?
Frankfooter's solutions to global issues are derived from a mindset of over simplifying, assuming all nations think alike and a sprinkle of unicorns and pixie dust.
For example, his solution to making North American manufacturing competitive globally is to politely ask nations like China, Mexico, etc to unionize their workforces and drive up their cost of labour so that it's higher than North American unionized labour. Just like that. If you argue that's never going to happen, he'll attacking you for not supporting workers.
His solution to the middle east is similar to that: Just have allies stop supporting each other and hope that everyone just gets along.
Ah, you're taking xitter posts literally and assuming she was voicing an ultimatum based on one policy.
The question is why do you think it wouldn't work.
Where on earth did you come up with that straw man?
Its straw man sunday on terb.
Your policy is to argue that Canadians should accept being paid 90% less in order to compete with workers from the Southern Hemisphere.
That is what you argued.
Um, she does Need to clarify things and quickly. Or People have the option to assume the worst.
Yes.
That was my point.
It was a ludicrous demand that couldn't happen before the election.
You then asked why I said it couldn't and i explained.
If you had said "Actually, those aren't her demands at all" I would have said that was good since there would be room to accommodate.
Because demands that are impossible to meet are just bad strategy. Which was my original post.
Because I don't believe in magic and there is a long history of human international relations that show things aren't that simple.
Just following your logic and then you said someone has to do something.
That's why I am asking you to clarify.
It sounds like you are saying the US needs to to anything and everything possible to stop the genocide, up to and including overthrowing the current Israeli government.
If that isn't true, please tell me where the US should stop.
At what point are you willing to accept the genocide continue since the US didn't do anything?
No, this is you trying to rationalize declaring that stopping sending weapons to Israel is 'impossible' based on your choice to take a post literally as if it were a policy paper.
Reagan made one phone call and stopped Israeli action.
There are many avenues for pressure that could stop the genocide if Biden wanted.
I'll ask you to clarify.
Where did I say the US needs to overthrow Israel.
Provide a quote.
If you're going to be literal with that xitter post I expect you to apply the same standards here.
Back up your thesis with proper support material.
Ooooh.
What's "the worst"?
That's actually an option people have no matter what she does, you know.
People have that option to decide the worst no matter whether she answers questions or not.
They always have and always will have that option.
More like "Make Shit Up About What Others Have Said" Weekend.
I never sad Canadians should be paid 90% less. I guess you haven't figured out why manufacturing jobs have left Canada & the US and won't be coming back.
Maybe gain some insight before inventing an alternate reality.
Anything is possible, but I don't think it is that likely....And, because of Republican gerrymandering, it might not have the impact it could have, if electoral districts were sane...
