You're viewing part of a thread.
I think anyone that is not a billionaire that is not voting for Harris is a fucking moron. My views aren't limited to Arab-Americans but I guess they can feel great about their virtue signaling while they're in Trump's deportation line getting sent to who knows where.
How are Arab-Americans being harmed by liberal democrat policies? Do you think Trump being elected will be better for Arab-Americans?
Their families are being genocided by liberal democrat policies. Some of them are even in Gaza right now, or their lifeless bodies are, anyway.
Also, dude, Arab is not the preferred nomenclature. Palestinian, please. Most are simply people who converted from Judaism to Christianity or Islam at some point, and some still practice Judaism to this day.
I'm confused how you believe that Israel's rabid ethnic cleansing campaign is a liberal democrat policy, but please do actually answer the question. Do you think Trump will be better for Arab Americans?
Also dude, there is literally an Arab American Institute that encompasses a lot more than just Palestinians lmao. Virtue signal harder please.
The Biden administration is aiding and abetting this genocide financially, materielly, and politically. This is as much the bipartisan US empire’s genocide as it is Israel’s.
I think you’re just trolling or hasbaraing.

This is the form imperialism typically takes, an imperial "core" where things are relatively comfortable and humane and a "periphery" where things are extremely brutal. It's more obvious when there's a war the core has more direct involvement in, like Obama siccing the Air Force on Yemen in conjunction with the Saudis, but this too is a case of it.
Other than the genocide of their friends and relatives? Increased anti-immigrant policies, failures to address concerns of marginalized communities, failures of the liberal Capitalist system at large, etc.
They aren't voting for Trump either, most are going to Stein.
A vote for Stein is a vote for Trump.
A vote for Harris is a vote for Trump.
Yeah… I’ve heard better Lowkeys.
