I think they're already fully aware of the threat, and in fact that's exactly why I've disregarded everything that Harris has said (and notably not said) about Gaza or Israel or any of that.

There's absolutely no way to know what her actual views are on any of it or what she intends to do, because no matter what they might be, she has no choice but to strike a pro-Israel pose for now, because if she doesn't, those genocidal AIPAC fucks will do everything in their power to destroy her.

That's also why, though I don't oppose them, neither do I really support the protests. It's probably a good thing to put some heat on Harris and on the Democrats more broadly, but it can't possibly accomplish anything, again at least for now, because those AIPAC scumbags are circling like vultures, just waiting for an excuse to descend on anyone who looks like they might interfere with their genocidal ambitions.

The time to put the pressure on is after Harris is safely in office. And yes - we have much less leverage then, but that's just the way it goes. If she's going to actually do the right thing, it's only going to be after she's out of reach of those vindictive fuckwads.
