Like what if she went on whatever her next big interview is and just declared that Israel was an apartheid genocide state that, once elected, she would bring to heel.

She vows to immediately cute all aid and in fact begin working against Israel in any way. Maybe that's implementing a blockade, maybe it is boots on the ground invasion of tel Aviv, or maybe it's just diplomatic in some manner.

What would happen? This is assuming she just went rogue so to speak... That is this is not the state department line or something. Maybe she personally broke inside at the horrors she's witnessed, maybe she is seeing her polls and decides this is best, maybe she's just drugged out of her mind and she can't remember who she is anymore. Maybe it's all a lie. Whatever.

Would the Democrats disavow her? Halt her campaign in some way? Have her dealt with? Or would they be forced to sorta follow suit because the election is so close?

I just think about this because she quite literally could go on TV and say whatever the hell she wanted. If she was as compassionate towards the Palestinians as she claims she could do it regardless of what Biden or anyone else says.

Obviously she won't because she seems to love genocide but ya know a little thought experiment.

What if on Election Day everyone for some reason voted for me and we had a puppy as president?

[-] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago

I'm writing you in

[-] [email protected] 23 points 9 months ago

She’d probably win the election

[-] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago

My doomer reflex is that she would cease to be alive in short order.

Maybe that would be too chaotic, so other options would be pursued, but I would be very surprised if she was able to force any kind of pivot with material consequences.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

Same. It's be chaos no matter what

[-] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago

There would be a lot of outrage from her donors and calls of antisemitism from various organizations.

Whether she would actually commit is the real question. My cynical ass would approach it the same way I did when Obama promised to close Guantanamo.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Ya I wouldn't believe it. Im just curious what hexbears think would ensue whatever her reasons for doing the hypothetical thing hypothetically were.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago

If she did this, she would earn my vote.

But the CIA would assassinate her the next day.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago

They would dump her for Hillary

It's her turn

she'd get jfk'd

Death to America

I imagine it would be similar to what happened with Biden and Obama when Biden endorsed same sex marriage and they just had to run with it.

Probably wouldn't change much but if she did it I would probably grudgingly vote for her.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

Yai imagine it would only be done to try and win the election. It's the most likely of all the unlikely reasons she'd do this. Really the only one with greater than say .001% chance.

I'd also grudgingly vote for her if she made enough anti genocide noise. Or I would have except now it's literally too late. Just dropped my ballot for PSL haha.

It would no longer be Joever biden-harbinger

[-] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

fucking nonsense tbh

[-] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

I think it would be completely ignored by all media. Either no coverage at all, or if it couldn't be immediately contained the news cycle would move on after 12 hours and would be quickly "forgotten". Meanwhile she would be disciplined quietly to act as though it had never happened or otherwise neutralized.

Regardless how stupid the above is, would she be able to do anything against the deep state?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

I mean she is but a figure head it's true so you're probably right

[-] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

It would be really funny and the CIA would comedically fumble for the heart attack gun.

It would probably be the largest split in the Democrats ever, possibly enough to destroy the whole party. Bigger than even the previous splits over the 14th amendment or the civil rights act.

The question would be if Harris survives until before or after the election, but she probably wouldn't win if she suddenly announced opposition to the entity.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Too late. Early agitvoted.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Literally same. She can't get my vote no matter what now

[-] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

those snipers on the rooftop would get a call over their radios within minutes

[-] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Accidents will happen

[-] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

It would be funny.

I would have to delete Youtube from my slop consumption rotation because everybody would be talking about it.

As soon as she got elected (if she got elected) she would immediately pivot to the right again.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Another question is what happens if she wins and she does that as president.
