    Whoever the candidate is, they have to avoid talking about Israel and use vague language on the issue. If they come out swinging for Israel I think it would not be a good look.

      this is where you use surrogates. signal with the surrogates and keep yourself out of the fray.

      we will learn a lot by who is doing the most interesting talking on behalf of the campaign.

      No messaging or surrogate can have a good answer to “why haven’t you already done it?”

      If instead of vaguely suggesting there might be a ceasefire sometime in the future if the dems remain in power, they stopped all arms shipments to Israel and sanctioned them until all Palestinians are granted equal political rights and right-to-return, you wouldn’t be asking yourself “How do I dress up support for an ongoing genocide”, you’d be telling people “We ended apartheid”
