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