Ad hominem. If you aren't going to watch this and develop a better understanding of what the Democratic Party has enabled so be it.
But understand that the people you despise and dehumanize the most can still swing the election, perhaps treating them as humans is a good first step. Instead our anger is demonized too.
You know, I could keep quiet and just not vote for Biden or Harris. I am the idiot who is wasting his time on people who don't even see us as humans. You do realize this makes it even harder for the Democratic Party in future elections?
It's weird that you're treating "Arab American population" as a monolithic vote that you presume will vote the way you want.
Also, you know Biden isn't running right?
Now show us the Republican response to the genocide.
We'll wait while you don't bother to.
So you're seriously just going to ignore responding? Lol shill
You are a complete and total idiot if you follow this person's ideas, and your choice to vote Third Party or stay home will only increase the chance that you and people you supposedly care about will be fed to the Republican meat grinders, and then you'll have no more worry about Democrats because you'll be in jail or just plain dead.
That's what you'll be enabling. Project 2025, who views Muslims as little more than animals, will be fast-tracked. If you think that's the smart play, you are a fucking moron and deserve everything you have coming to you.
PS: Dems aren't guilty of what this guy's insinuating here. That's 100% on Republicans.
PPS: This is the kind of BS that Russians and Republicans are injecting into our discussions on a day to day basis. While I won't violate Rule 3 and outright call him a bot or shill, I WILL point out to everyone else that this is the bullshit that Team Putin and Team Pepe use to divide Democrats and suppress the vote.
PPS: I agree with @nomous that it's weird, if not ridiculous, that this guy thinks he has a lock on the Arab American psyche. Our whole purpose here is to remind everyone on the Left coalition that come next January, either Kamala Harris will start her first term as POTUS and MAYBE slow-roll more bombs and missiles to Israel so that Egypt, Syria, and others don't try to finish what they started in the '60s, or Trump, who will supply Israel with all the bombs and missiles he can while outlawing Muslims and forcing Christianity down their throats here in the USA via Project 2025. If you're stupid enough to prefer 4 years of Project 2025 to whatever you think Harris will be guilty of, you deserve what you're gonna get, sideways, without lube. And I think that makes you an idiot and a moron like the guy I'm replying to. Make the smart play and don't listen to this fool.
Ad hominem. I am not sure why you think personal attacks are the way to win but good luck.
I never did say that, but the poll data suggests I am not the only one who has abandoned the Democratic Party. I posted poll data before -in previous comments on some other thread- by two different Arab American pollsters. One from November showing a drop from 59% to 17% for Biden support, and another from May putting Biden at 7% and Trump at 1%.
I read posts by Arab Americans who were more enthusiastic about Biden in 2020 and how abandoned and depressed they feel now. You could look them up. Here's one: ‘The man broke my heart’: Biden’s Arab-American boosters begin to leave his side
As opposed to Biden and the Democratic Party who are slaughtering them in Gaza out of love?
Most Arab Americans are Christian anyways.
Why are you threatening me with my kink? How did you know?
I am not sure what you mean by this. Biden is already sending them tons of bombs. FYI Israel started the 1967 war and it was never a defensive war.
I sense a deep hatred towards Arabs combined with bad history and ignorance. This is more of a reason to not associate with you or your party.
I am using data and citing everything I write. Meanwhile you dish out insults left and right as if they come in a BOGO bundle.
Final Edit: I brought this upon myself. The correct course of action is to keep to myself and not engage. So god willing this will be the last time I reply to any post about Harris or 2024 elections. I trust the poll data and the opinion articles by Arab Americans more involved then I am. You though can enjoy dehumanizing us to your heart's desire, nothing will fundamentally change.
