Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

It does not. I'm not even going to run down the numbers again because it's a stupid amount of effort.

Specifically, the total Arab Population of Michigan is about 2%, and less than half are able to vote (age or otherwise). Assuming ALL of them are going along with a virtue signaling plan only spouted by a few (they aren't), you can read all the interviews and reports of people in the "Uncommitted" group saying they are voting for Harris.

So 100k people trying to influence the vote in a state Biden won by 150k in 2020, and most of those people are still voting Harris, AND they e already shattered early voting records.

Don't see it happening. The people who keep bringing up 2016 are living in the past. That was a low turnout election 8 years ago. None of the polling or early voting numbers say this is anything like election.

The 100K number is from the Democratic primaries. The situation in the middle-east has deteriorated much more since then. I wouldn't be surprised if that 100K number grew.

That being said, you may be right in that Harris will win and I hope you are. But like I said in my comment above, it's a toss-up on who will win the state of Michigan at this point. And whoever wins Michigan has a really good chance of winning the election. It really should not have been so close for this state, given how important it is.
