Voting against your interests, an American tradition

I’ll assume your interests are fully aligned with the aggrieved minority, but consider their POV for a brief moment. Trump’s talking about an end to the conflict, he’s at the very least honest about what Netanyahu wants, and he’s dunking on the islamophobic, mass-murdering Cheneys.

Arab Americans are well aware of Trump’s racism, which is why they put their trust in liberals and went for Biden by a landslide. This is a pretty clear “fuck you” to those very same liberals for carrying out a genocide.

And Trump has said he wants it to go even farther.

What’s farther than genocide? This was yesterday,

A mother from #Jabalia says: “They took all the children from their mothers and put them inside what resembled a pit or a hole. The tank came to circle around them repeatedly until their bones cracked under the pressure of dust and sand, amidst the screams of children and the wailing of mothers.

“After that, the soldiers came and started throwing the children towards the mothers, and whoever caught a child was ordered to carry him and move away quickly, with no guarantee that the child would be their own.

“Many mothers carried children who were not their own, and were forced to leave with them, leaving their own children in the hands of other mothers. This marked the beginning of a new chapter of suffering, with mothers searching for their children in the arms of other women, trying to calm the children they held until they found their real mothers.“

Anyone who is an Arab-American and concerned about the situation in the middle east, and who is voting for Trump, has to be a special kind of stupid. He’s the candidate who hates brown-skinned people and who is backed by money that supports Jewish interests in the middle east because they think more death and destruction will force Jesus to come down from his cloud quicker. If these Arab Americans think Trump will offer Palestine or Lebanon even a modicum of help then they are fucking idiots.

Edit: Clarified some phrasing.

How many Arabs have you talked to about your theory that they’re stupid? Democrats are literally exterminating them.

Seems like cutting off your face to spite the nose but also can’t trust the polls and the DNC’s messaging about Israel has been dogshit so who knows.

You know what?

This is a really good point. According to the article,

the margin of error of plus or minus 5.93 percent.

Meanwhile, it also said the poll was saying,

45 percent to 43 percent

So in the extreme case, rather than being down by 2 points for Harris, it could be up for Harris by almost 4 points.

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.

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!
