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

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.

Why would they even vote ?

Both parties are beholden to Israel and the power of AIPAC

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 3 points 24 minutes ago

Other way around. Both parties support Israel because Israel helps secure the Petro-Dollar, by which the US dominates the Global South with predatory IMF loans.

It's like the trolley problem, except instead of the other track having fewer people, it has more, and it just loops back around to run over the people on the first track anyway. We should have sent the trolley on a completely different route decades ago.

Strawmen belong in fields, not comment sections.

Also: does every ml user have an allergy to pragmatic problem solving?

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.

Yeah, earlier in her campaign, I was optimistic that she was just trying not to undermine Biden's foreign policy, and that she would eventually take an at least slightly more critical position on Israel. So far, though, she's seems entirely committed to Israel's escalating violence, and she won't even make the smallest gesture towards the Palestinian community. I didn't expect her to denounce Israel, but staying lock-step with Biden on this is looking like political suicide.

don’t come complaining when Trump deports your family

You can't claim to give a shit about people and then say things like this

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.
