I was ready to demand my Lefty comrades go vote for Kamala: after all, one Genocide is better than two genocides.
But then she came out "tough on the border" and took that from me. She promised to be every bit as hard as Trump.

But she worked HARD to alienate the Left. She took every piece of rhetoric I had and shat on it.
So we have Kamala caving on Gaza with rhetoric (and walking it back)

But flatly refusing to do anything:

Just like the Liberal Party. Promise almost nothing, make a symbolic gesture, do actually nothing.

So when she gets no support, why are Clinton Neoliberal, Reaganomics-poisoned-but-polite Liberals surprised? This is the Country they designed, on purpose.
Citation? Because any time I saw anything indicating that, she IMMEDIATELY walked it back. And I've cited (shitty) sources.
I dug through my comment history to find this. It has plenty of links.
No Bernie's campaign and Warren's campaign drove Biden to the left on a whole host of issues, including labor unions.
Don't lie.
This comment said it best and lists calls for a ceasefire from Harris.

Harris promised to do everything in her power to end the war in Gaza.

Unlike Biden, Harris was not a life long Zionist.

Harris wasn't perfect. And that was simply not good enough for some people who didn't want to risk their hands getting dirty. Even if it meant the Palestinians becoming the cost of doing business.
Good for you. I appreciate it. No need to spread propaganda though.
Saying that Israel has a right to exist is Zionist.
The context matters. That doesn't mean it has the right to exist as an apartheid state. She wants a two state solution. Which should be the goal.
No amount of misquoting is getting anyone out of the fact she was the correct choice in 2024.
Why should that be the goal? Why does stolen land get to remain stolen just because a couple of generations have passed?
Because a couple of generations have passed. It's wrong to displace the Palestinians. It's wrong to displace the Israelis. It's wrong to displace people. There is no more correct place for people to be living then where they are right now.
Israel must return to the 1967 borders.
