For an article titled, "Dearborn residents show remorse," it sure didn't feature a lot of, you know, Dearborn residents showing remorse.

They should've voted for democrats, who also love genocide. Seriously, the only "leopards ate my face" I see are democrats insisting on supporting genocide and then predictably losing support from voters. These voters were just desperate for any possibility of change, no matter how slim. This is understandable when the change they were hoping for was to not have a president that supported genocide. This doesn't deserve mockery, no matter how misguided.

Thanks to you and people like you the genocide will increase and even speed up and spread out

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

How? I voted for Harris. It was the democrats who supported genocide and then lost against a clown for the second time.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Could a put that in your first post. It reads like you didnt

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

How would adding who I voted for change my first post?

"... Sounds like you are supportive of the alternative to Harris despite there being ample evidence that that alternative supports genocide more actively than Harris.

I can vote for them while criticizing their support for genocide and their generally idiotic political strategy. The other party being worse doesn't change this.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

you are absolutely correct for this. really infuriating to see the bad faith argumentation coming out.

what needs to happen is constructive and significant criticism of the party, but it seems the moment you dare do that without using your vote as some kind of tone tag all bets are off and you’re MAGA.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

That's fine. Like I said you didn't indicate your vote, so I barked. Sawwy

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

yeah no, it’s not fucking okay to shove assumptions down someone’s throat. you don’t get away with “sawwy,” do fucking better and be fucking kind.

So the better choice was the guy endorsed by literal nazis, who are known for... checks notes their genocidal inclinations?

reminder:

this election was lost on multiple fronts.

do not let articles like this, however truthful, and the inevitable spiteful comments underneath convince you that the next four years were caused by Arab-Americans.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 14 hours ago

Yeah, even if we won Michigan, where the Arab-American vote is strongest, it wouldn't have reversed our defeat in the electoral college.

This is just more sad "But I didn't think Leopards would eat MY face!" that is happening in all kinds of demographics of the US electorate right now.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

fine, fine, yes, it is multifactorial. Unity in opposing trump's ghouls is the most important, not infighting over losing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 20 hours ago

thanks, and not trying to be combative here :) i just know how discourse molds and progresses and it’s just a few short steps from the comments and name calling i’m seeing here to “pro-Palestine caused trump”

when in reality biden/harris actively ignored the petitioning of multiple vital demographics including latino, young, and low-income voters—all of which played out very poorly. it speaks volumes that i haven’t seen a single post about these demographics yet and multiple about Arab-Americans.

just be careful yall! your neighbors need you
