    Normally I’m one to say we should be understanding and all that, but I honestly can’t understand Arabic people voting for anyone they thought had a chance to murder their relatives back home.

    Edit: I was wrong, I thought they had voted for trump or Harris but they actually voted third party or withheld their vote. I think thats morally consistent and we shouldnt blame them for anything trump has done. Saying they helped propel trump to victory is the only immoral thing here.

      The Trump side was saying anti war things that were lies. The Harris side was saying there is no air between my policies and Joe Biden’s Israel policy.

      I don’t think the numbers were massive of Arab voting for Trump but they just didn’t vote. The Dems thought that people would have no choice but to vote for a dem with Dick fucking Cheney’s daughter campaigning with her. They stayed home instead.

        My bad I should have read more. I dont think we can blame them for voting third party or withholding their vote. Thats actually the only morally consistent thing they can do.

        I thought they had actually voted for trump or Harris.

      I’m sorry but I still blame them along with the dems. It is unimaginably tragic that Harris couldn’t just say Gaza bad we will stop it, but Trump was still worse in Gaza among the litany of other reasons why he was a terrible person to vote for. If there was ever an election to truly vote against the greater evil, it was this one, and now the entire world is paying the price for it.

        I think people hoped kamala would listen to their protests and advocate for change, but she did the opposite. I would never be able to vote for someone if they couldn’t at least commit to not murdering my family members. I dont see how thats controversial.

      if you see an immediate danger and you have three options

      1. allow it to happen
      2. stop it from happening
      3. wish it would stop from happening

      which do you think is going to be most effective?

        It’s extremely fucking funny you say this considering the democrats were executing a fucking genocide and then these people “helped” stop the democrats from continuing executing the genocide.

          #F

          you failed the assignment.

          ironically for the same reason why Trump was elected.

          because you failed to understand the assignment of keeping Trump out of office at any cost.

          you only wished the bad thing would stop happening, yet did nothing to help actually stop it from happening.
