    If only she were the current sitting vice president of the United states of America, I.e. was in a position of power where she and the other members of the executive branch could take action as well as “striking a tough tone”.

    Actions, as always, speak louder than words.

      Ah, here’s where you’re mistaken. The Vice President is not a position of power. They can try to influence the president, like any other cabinet member, but that’s it. They’re effectively ceremonial.

      Historically the VP has been one of the weakest political positions when it comes to actual power or ability to effect change. Just depends on how much the cabinet/president listen to you.

      Oh my god, nothing is enough for you people. She’s literally pushing for an immediate ceasefire and withdrawal of the Israeli military and advocating for a 2 state solution. Isn’t that precisely what we want?
