If the answer to people being hurt internationally is to make moves not to stop that but to continue it AND add damage domestically, that’s fucking stupid.
Anyone not voting Harris is fucking stupid. Don’t care what color, sex, nationality, cool aid color you are.
My calling non-Harris voters stupid has absolutely nothing - ZERO - to do with race.
Why is it that Arab-Americans are abandoning Harris but other ethnicities are not at the same rate? Your answer has been "stupidity," which is obviously racist.
You are the reason that word is losing meaning.
Coming from people like you, it means literally nothing.
Racism is not "losing meaning."
My answer for why Arab-Americans are abandoning Harris is because they don't want to vote for genocide of their friends, family, and people of a similar background, and cannot support the Democrats because of this.
Your answer is that it's because they are stupid, which directly means that you believe the majority of Arab-Americans are uniquely stupid, ergo this is a racist statement.
And doing this which could assist a Trump win is very, very stupid.
That is, unless they believe Trump will improve things abroad and at home? But that’s another kind of stupid. (<—- White christians believe this and they are stupid for it)
So you are commiting to racism, then, believing Arab-Americans to be uniquely stupid and yourself more enlightened than people directly and indirectly impacted by genocide you support.
Not racist. Not uniquely stupid. And not BECAUSE they’re Arab.
Anyone who acts knowingly to assist another Trump presidency is a fucking moron. White, black, Asian, Arab, Hispanic, etc. don’t give a shit.
To be frank, this sounds like an excellent tactic to silence criticism of acts that would support another Trump presidency. It’s even posed as coming from the left which is genius.
I’m coming away from this thinking you actually want him elected.
I don't want either genocidal establishment party elected, but one will be regardless of what I want.
So because Arab-Americans are voting third-party more than other ethnic groups, your answer is that the driving factor is stupidity.
Thinly veiled both sides shit. ^
Third party votes fall squarely into knowingly assisting a Trump win. And it’s really stupid.
Just say you want Trump.
What's your explanation, again, for Arab-Americans abandoning Harris at significantly higher rates?
