She had so many chances to make this election easier. Could have had a Palestinian talk during the DNC, and that would have likely changed this story.

Hamtramck is run by a bigoted shit stain mayor. As welcoming as I want to be to immigrants, don't bring that sexist, homophobic shit into my neighborhood. Go ahead and vote against Harris, but don't come complaining when Trump deports your family.

Angry with the Biden administration – and, by extension, Kamala Harris – for its support for Israel, Arab Americans may be willing to overlook Trump’s history of closeness with Israel’s hard-right leaders.

So, these individuals could be described as the common clay of the new West?

yeah man, denigrate them more, that'll surely get them on your side! maybe a touch more smug condescension? anything except engaging with their concerns, of course.

I call conservatives dumb too.

These people aren’t special. Just a different kind of dumb.

Similar in the way they vote against their own interests.

I don't get this. 3rd party will never win. Ever. There are two real options. Vote for the one that offers the best outcome for you. Not doing that is accepting that you are ok with the worst of the two, because you had a chance to keep them out of office and choose not to.
