Let's hope it gives her a boost. I hope it won't backfire.

Progress in LA would be wonderful!
She's a liberal zionist as well. Fucking hell.
1. Bernie Sanders could be classified as a liberal zionist. He is a bad guy now?
2. This election isn't about Ukraine, Taiwan or the Middle East. It's about improving Los Angeles.
3. Her opponent Karen Bass is even more pro-Israel than her. You want the most pro-Israel candidate to win....?
Her position is that they are committing genocide and that they should stop. She could be better in her position but she really isn't that bad, at least from what I'm seeing in the clip you just posted.
But you make up facts about her.
You should really try watching the clip Dreamy posted.
She supports the genocidal settler colonial state of Israel, condemns boycotts and sanctions against Israel, but we should just give her a pass because she said "Gaza genocide real" in 2026?
I absolutely agree with you that her stance is way too watered down and I'd really prefer her to have some more backbone here. But honestly, ya I'm grading on a curve here; is her opponent better?
