7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

What a surprise, the standard "they have no power to do anything to help" excuse whenever any Democrat is rightly criticized for their inaction on any issue. We heard this a lot during the 15 months of him enabling a genocide including those several months after SCOTUS declared the president immune from the law and after Harris had already lost; excuse after excuse. Meanwhile Republicans always manage to steamroll through their legislation or orders regardless of whether they have the authority, power, or majority because Democrats always either enable them or roll over for them.
Hmm, it almost seems as if the whole "leftist," human rights, working class support rhetoric is just an act like it's all a fucking scripted WWE match. It's funny that even when the Democrats have a supermajority, they still have some excuse for why they can't help the country or improve the average person's quality of life.
It's also funny that all you've done here is latch onto two words from my comment in order to derail the discussion and steer it away from the factual evidence demonstrating that she did and does support Israel's genocide in stark contrast to your false claims that she is against this one-sided war. You can't deny that she had someone ejected from her rally for calling it a genocide. You can't deny that she wanted to continue arming Israel. You can't deny that she stated a genocide isn't happening. You can't deny that she spent half her campaign palling around with yet another war criminal Dick Cheney. Instead, you'd rather pretend that none of this is happening and lash out at the people who are done pretending.
It's not that "they don't have any power" it's that there's LITERALLY NOTHING the VP can do.
They don't set the policy, that's the job of the President.
They don't pass legislation, that's the job of the House and Senate. If the Senate is tied on a bill, the VP can break the tie, but outside that THEY HAVE NO ROLE.
As an individual citizen, the VP can't engage in diplomacy.
All she could do is exactly what she did, run for President on a platform of cease fire, hostage release, two state solution.
"BuH BuH WhY DiDn't sHe dO AnYtHiNg??!?!?"
You might as well ask why J.D. Vance doesn't do anything, or why didn't Biden do anything as V.P. That's not what the job is.
Stop blaming the VP because you don't comprehend how it all works.
