CHICAGO – Anti-Israel demonstrators rallying on Wednesday afternoon outside Chicago's United Center during the DNC said they are not ready to choose Vice President Kamala Harris in November.

"We don’t really believe her, like, strategies of, like, you know, good vibes," one demonstrator, Enno told Fox News Digital, "That’s not how you fix a broken economic system."

Other voters attended the rally, hoping to be educated.

"I’m really invested in learning more about this election," demonstrator, Hiram Garcia said, "As part of just getting more informed, I decided to come in person and get a good look at the DNC."

One demonstrator, Kim Gaspar, told Fox News Digital she wouldn’t be voting at all in November.

"I couldn’t possibly vote for Genocide Joe and I couldn’t possibly vote for Donald Trump - absolutely neither of them," she said.
