‘They will vote against Harris’: Arab Americans in Michigan desert Democrats over Gaza

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?

Okay, but, abandon her for whom exactly? Just not vote? Vote 3rd party? I am not going to say Harris is perfect, but this is cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Oh they're really gonna love how Trump handles Arabs

Because Trump who literally said Muslims should wear a "Special ID at all times" back in 2015 is obviously gonna be much better....

Who could have possibly seen this coming for a full year

This group is the single greatest gift to the 2024 trump presidency and he doesn’t know it yet!

Cant blame them, Biden\Harris are literally sending Israel the bombs.

Both parties are beholden to Israel and the power of AIPAC

Context:

• I am not an american, so there may be some missing knowledge for me about the american electoral system.
• I abhor Israel's genocide in Gaza, and I abhor the biden administration's support of (and Harris' seeming continued support of) the genocide.
• My understanding is that Trump is just as, if not more supportive of the genocide in Gaza, and on top of this has his sights on doing some truly terrible things in the US re: minorities, trans rights, etc

So with that context, my question is thus: It seems clear that Trump wouldn't change anything about the genocide in Gaza, and that he would bring more evil than the current status quo. So if you're an american voter, you obviously can't let Trump get in. But, Harris is gross to vote for as well, even if its a "lesser of the two evils" thing. What do you do? As far as I understand its basically one or the other, you dont really have any third party to vote for right?

Great so now we can have a more certain Trump presidency. Why limit yourself to just one genocide when you can have this guy in power here too:

“How about allowing people to come to an open border, 13,000 of which were murderers, many of them murdered far more than one person, and they’re now happily living in the United States. You know now a murder, I believe this, it’s in their genes. And we got a lot of bad genes in our country right now,”

At this point (3 weeks before elections) if she comes out against the genocide, it's obvious it's just a career move and not her actual feelings. It will be business as usual afterward.

Apparently this is what her supporters want. As long as they can convince themselves to FEEL like she didn't want to aid in genocide, that's all that matters.

Not just in Michigan ;)

He hopes that Trump, on the other hand, uses his business acumen to bring down the cost of the products he sells in his store, many of which are imported from overseas. “Trump is not perfect, but we have no choice,” he says.

Hashim’s other major concern is Gaza, where more than 42,000 people have been killed by Israeli attacks. “The No 1 reason [to not vote for Harris] is that she is supporting Israel 100%,” he said.

I don't understand how someone this stupid is able to run a successful business. The high price of goods now is completely due to republican policies that have taken the brakes off of corporate price gouging and Trump has stated that not only is he 100% supportive of Israel but he will happily supercharge their genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza.

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.

Why would they even vote ?

stop paying your taxes too, that shit is funding the genocide

It's THEIR Fault for not voting for the Two Candidates Killing Their Families and instead hoping a Trump Presidency would be a Quicker fall so we can Rebuild in a way that Their Families don't die!

Oh boy, that'll teach 'em....you know, the party where they absolutely listened to the people who didn't want Hillary just because "it was her turn".

yup...this'll fix it!

I want to laugh but it's so dark they're turning to trump

Stupid motherfuckers.

So, i'd just like to point out with all of the fear-mongering going on that even though I strongly dislike trump, he pulled our forces out of Syria, and he got the ball rolling on ending the Afghanistan occupation. Sure, the former was to please Russia, but he still doesn't strike me as being as war-hawkish as Liberal Democrats are making him out to be. On the flipside he moved the U.S. embassy in Israel which raised geopolitical tensions in the region but in contrast to that I understand Biden and Harris are looking to put troops back on the ground to fight in the middle east again. I'm not really sure how Trump can make it worse than all-out war which appears to be what Democrats are proposing just by another name. -"military exercises" seems to already be taken

This is going to be such a leopard ate my face moment. Do they really think the Republicans are going to do anything? They're just going to drop some bombs and call it a day. At least with the Democrats there's a slight chance.

Bahaha idiots

You know, one of the big third party candidates is Jill Stein. If you are one of those pro Palestine supporters who hates Israel... Stein is Jewish. She might be one of those Jews who hates Israel, but she's still Jewish. I don't mind her being Jewish, but I do mind her being vaccine skeptical, a Kremlin devotee, among other things.

sorry, Russian plants, people know Trump will not only give Israel MORE weapons and NOT call for cease fires but will probably also send US troops. nobody's dumb enough to think they're "the same"

And now

President Biden told the Israeli leader that airstrikes that killed aid workers were “unacceptable” and appeared to condition future support on how Israel changes course. https://archive.ph/t5tIi

Meanwhile the alternative

The whole "Kamala is bad because Israel" line is so absurd compared to Trump that it really must be Russian propaganda.

Good bye frying-pan, hello fire.

legit question, if arabs love Palestine so fucking much, why don't they open up their countries' lands for the creation of a Palestinian state?

Dumb fucks. I hope the leopard fucking devours their faces.

Good!
