‘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.

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.

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

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

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,”

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?

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.

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

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.

Not just in Michigan ;)

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!

Why would they even vote ?

Good!

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!

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.
