More than 100 Arizona Palestinian, Arab, Muslim, and progressive Democrats and community leaders have signed a letter making the case for those reluctant to support Kamala Harris against Donald Trump.

“We know that many in our communities are resistant to vote for Kamala Harris because of the Biden administration’s complicity in the genocide,” the letter, published Thursday night, reads.

“Some of us have lost many family members in Gaza and Lebanon. We respect those who feel they simply can’t vote for a member of the administration that sent the bombs that may have killed their loved ones,” the letter continued. “As we consider the full situation carefully, however, we conclude that voting for Kamala Harris is the best option for the Palestinian cause and all of our communities.”

Do Muslim’s really think voting for Muslim ban guy who would give Israel even more weapons a better choice?

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 73 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No but Russian troll farm employees sure want us to believe it.

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Oh good, this must be a safe community. Asklemmy@lemmy.ml banned me for having the audacity to suggest the russian trolls might be fewer in number than the number of their accounts would suggest.

Yeah, their admin is working for russia.

I just got banned from !asklemmy@lemmy.ml for 2 months because I said I wasn't comfortable installing an Android app with a Russian developer. The audacity!

Many just want to stay home, but in contested districts their absence may mean something.

A poll released Monday conducted by Arab News/YouGov found that Trump led Harris 45 percent to 43 percent among Arab Americans. Those voters said that they viewed Trump as more supportive of Israel’s current government, but that he was more likely to end the conflict.

In 2020, FL Hispanics were bombarded with ads saying that Biden would give away Florida to Castro as part of his love for communism or deport them all to Cuba. Trump won FL by a large margin, mostly because Miami area was not as blue as in the past. 60% of FL voters still voted for $15 minimum wage.

In 2020, also, heavily hispanic southern counties of TX went pro Trump on ads that there would be a lot of work in the counties from building walls.

AIPAC lobby has spent record amounts on primaries for democrats this year where the incumbent supported a ceasefire. The only ones AIPAC won were ones where they did not mention Israel at all. Other Republican PACs are blanketing Arab zip codes with how pro Israel Harris is, and Jewish zip codes with how she is a muslim plant.

While Trump very proudly has RFK boast of his desire to end the most stupid war the US has ever conducted, Trump is favoured by Netanyahu, including reported daily strategy calls on how to sabotage Biden's fake constraints policies. He is more likely to believe any benefits Netanyahu tells him of a full war on Iran/Lebanon/Syria over any prudence.

Trump's main claim for 2020 election "rigging" is that a Hunter Biden laptop existed, without anything implicating President on it. But republican rigging of misinformation, and vote suppression, just wasn't enough even though that nothing story was still all over the news.

There are serious problems with US electoral system, and it is orders of magnitude worse every cycle.

I love how utterly deranged republican shit is in the US, and seemingly there are people so braindamaged they take it serious. 😂 Really goes to show how much worse things could be in many countries. At leasy they're not the US, basically.

Many are extremely conservative, and just want a tax cut.

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The tax cut that Turnip would only give to the 1%?

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Lot are well off, and the rest think they'll get it anyway.

Remember, the Trump tax cuts were popular-ish even when most people got like $100/yr.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No, but virtue signaling white folks will be happy to tell you that, rather than "voting for genocide", it's better to vote 3rd party or not at all... thereby electing Trump.

It's a principled nut punch to every Muslim, themselves, and all the rest of us. So brave.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works -3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Look, another group democrats hate. I'm sure if you hate them enough it'll go full circle.

Maybe its not so much third party voters as it is the vast majority of americans are intolerant selfish people.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Or maybe people who don't live under the American 2 party system DONT UNDERSTAND HALF A FUCK of what's going on in our elections and should shut the FUCK up and eat a whole potato instead.

Respectfully.

Edit: But it couldn't be that, otherwise why in the everloving butthole would you still be talking out of your poop shooter?
