    It’s a classic “technically true, but not particularly useful” information tidbit. Harris is in office, Trump isn’t.

    Harris is in an office that is entirely powerless (yes, she casts a vote in the event of a Senate tie, but no bill funding Israel has come down to that). She and Trump have nothing to do with the (current) Palestinian genocide.

      Harris has enormous amounts of power by simply having access to the President’s phone 24/7. That’s before you get into how much authority she’s been delegated by a man whose brains are leaking out of his ears.

        And you’ve confirmed that you don’t understand how the President works. He isn’t simply the King of America who can wave a magic wand and do what he wants.

          you don’t understand how the President works

          Tell it to Dick Cheney. He goes into this at great length in his autobiography
