The problem is that they have been brainwashed by 30 years of right-wing media to convince them to never believe anything Democrats say ever. We could tell them literally everything they want to hear and they would say we're lying, or nod along and then go vote for the Republican anyway

She personally met with those protesters before the rally, then when they later interrupted the rally, she let them have their moment, then when they wouldn't shut up, that's when she said that. Those particular protesters had no intention of having any kind of discussion, and it's quite telling that they only come to Democratic events instead of Republican ones, who are MUCH more hawkish and pro-Israel than Dems and whom a protest against might be more effective, if they actually cared about Palestinians

They INVENTED modern imperialism, first trialling it in the "Irish plantations" starting in the 16th century, long before America's colonies. If one could go back in time to stop anything...

For days, various media outlets had been aware — through their own reporting and as information trickled out elsewhere — that a prisoner swap involving American journalists and dissidents was in the works. But news organizations were asked by the White House to hold their stories until Gershkovich et al. were in U.S. custody. Until then, the prisoners would still be in Russian captivity, and officials feared that any attention brought to the fragile deal could risk compromising it — not just for the U.S., but for the multiple other countries whose prisoners were freed as part of the swap.

The health care plan she rolled out that July stopped short of completely eliminating private insurance. Instead, it would have shifted the US to a government-backed health insurance system by transitioning to a Medicare-for-All-type system over 10 years and continuing to allow private insurance companies to offer Medicare plans.

What they actually said, which is a reasonable path forward

Please stop spreading misinformation about how the government works. The supreme Court made abortion illegal. It doesn't matter who controls the white house and congress. And can we stop being so pessimistic for one moment? Kamala represents real generational change in the leadership of our government

If it's not Biden, it'll be Trump. That's the reality we're facing
