Alt text: a destroyed city filled with speach bubbles all saying "stop your bombs" and Kamala Harris in the foreground with "I'm speaking" in large text along the bottom.

Nice strawman!
"I'm speaking" are literally her words in refence to pro-palestinian protesters chanting at one of her rallies like 2 days ago.
Edit: her campaign has at no point expressed a desire (let alone a demand) to end arms shipments and military aid to Israel. Nor has she expressed at any point that she intends to demand an immediate ceasefire if elected.
Edit2: clarification
Yes this is such a disappointment. All we want to hear is her calling and pledging for the stopping of genocide of the Palestine people.
Nice Liberal nonsense but it seems you forgot this community is for leftists
There's nothing worse for leftism than leftists making bad arguments.
Calling for the end of genocide is a bad argument? Ok Liberal
Putting words into people's mouths, as you just did, and strawmanning, as the original meme does, are both bad arguments.
Opposing genocide is a good position. Let's not weaken our good positions with bad arguments.
Kamela Harris told pro-palestinian protesters at her own rally "I'm speaking" to silence them. This is a fact and not a strawman argument. If you want your comments to not be removed from this community for supporting genocidal entities, you'll need to explain where the strawman is in the OP meme.
Please, point out the strawman here. I responded already that "I'm speaking" were Kamela's exact words in response to recent pro-palestine protesters.
