Palestine protesters vs Harris, who wins the battle of cringe?

 So the free palestine kiddies crashed one of Harris's rallies, and she kinda took them on directly. And I'm gonna be honest, not super thrilled with either of this debate. obviously, if I had to choose a side, it's harris, but honestly, I don't think she handled it optimally either.

You can tell by the clip above, that these people were obnoxious. KAMALA KAMALA YOU CANT HIDE WE WON'T VOTE FOR GENOCIDE! I mean, STFU and stop acting like children. Seriously, F these people. They actively turn me off.

Anyway, harris responded by saying "if you want Donald Trump to win, just say that, otherwise I'm speaking." Now, I have mixed opinions on this. On the one hand, maybe this is all that can be said. I mean, it's clear these people are obnoxious. They crashed Biden rallies too, and crowds often cheered as security escorted these morons out. And if anything, I kinda cheer too. Regardless of your position on this, I don't think being an uncivil nitwit just crashing everyone's rallies is the best approach these guys have, and they actively hurt their cause to the point that I myself am actively hostile toward them. But on the other hand, harris's best response is "do you want trump to win?" Really? You're just gonna offer these people lesser evilism? Now, I know Harris seems to be signalling a tougher response on Netanyahu than Biden did. I don't think it will make the kiddies happy, but you wouldn't think that trying to tout what you wanna do on the issue is a good idea here? I mean, she could have just told them, look, I see you, I hear you, I have taken your concerns under advisement, now please shut up as I'm speaking or something. Maybe dont say please shut up, but whatever is the politically correct version of that. The point is, offering lesser evilism instead of even attempting to address their concerns is a bad look. It's an enthusiasm killer. And this whole campaign is driven by enthusiasm. Without enthusiasm, we have nothing. So....yeah. I'm not sure this was the right move by Harris here. Obviously I'm trying to be constructive because I'm on her side, I also see these palestine people as a bother and I've stopped even trying to appease them, but I do recognize there are some concerns there and think she's doing some good signals on that front. But just....telling the protesters DO YOU WANT TRUMP TO WIN? is a bad look. Because she might need these people to win. And many of them will put their money where their mouth is and NOT vote for her. They will vote for Stein, they will vote for West, they will vote for the PSL people, they won't vote for you. Because you do have to earn their vote, and if you don't try well, you might lose them to a third party vote. Simply throwing TRUMP in their face isn't gonna do anything. Trust me. Because I've dealt with these people online. They WILL vote green. And to some extent, I'm personally fine letting them do so, but I do think harris should try to extend somewhat of an olive branch to them and meet them some of the way. So yeah. Kind of a bad move IMO.
