Protest vote. She could have met with them in a small group if she didn't want to be cornered. But they were not going to hear anything from her that they have not already heard: "stand with Israel but stop humanitarian crisis in region....blah blah blah"


There is no such thing as a protest vote and that’s what most of this thread is saying.


That is FALSE. Do you want to speak to Dearborn MI residents who did just that???


They voted to make America worse. A vote for Stein was a vote for Trump. He will do nothing for Gaza, and he will make their lives harder here. They should have voted for Harris, then organized a campaign to sway her when she was in office.

Instead, they voted to endanger the lives of my children, take away my health insurance, and my mother’s SS and Medicare. My sympathy is dry.

I don’t think they’re alone by any stretch. I think a lot of left leaning voters were manipulated online to make them one issue voters in Gaza specifically to help Trump win. And unfortunately , it worked.

I do not think even this pointlessly maligned population were single-issue voters. But it’s pretty easy for you to withhold your cleary expansive sympathy when the Michigan strategy was: bring Bill Clinton into the state to say publicly “Jews were there first!” to get a roar and clapter, and to also fly in Richie Torres and Doug Emhoff.

If the convo is about Michigan, in some pretty arrogant ways, the Harris campaign told hesitant voters to eff themselves. And they told the campaign to go to hell.

Yeah Harris's messaging obviously wasn't effective!

I'm not sure why you're shouting at Dems now. We lost, badly - it's out of our hands what happens now. We didn't persuade these voters that we'd do more for them than Trump.

And now they get Trump. So - they voted, and they won.

And now they get Trump - and hopefully he'll keep all his promises.

You can update us when everything is gone. Things will change but we don’t know how they will pan out. Biden, who I supported, is not all unicorns and daisies as some here like to think. It is OK to object to some things and not others contrary to the Democrats’ brown shirts who are all about political purity.

This is what will lose that voting bloc for absolute ever to the Democratic Party. It’s enough. You’re just a B, and it’s visible from space. It’s like a more willful version - because we have history - of JFK permanently losing Cuban voters after Bay of Pigs.

I have the same fears you must have about future elections, Trump or Vance staying in office past 2028. You and your stupid, mean, power girl posse are incapable of coalition building or seeing that using rich celebrities for messaging can’t be the go to. So be it.

did you read what I wrote? I was addressing the blue no matter who Democrats, who cannot understand why some Americans who lean Democrat would not vote for Biden's successor.

Unfortunately, Muslims who voted for Trump have fooled around and they will be finding out in the next few years. There will only be so much the rest of us can do to help them.

PP, they are the same people who go ballistic when the policies they vote for affect their schools. See certain schools in FCPS and the boundary study. It is OK for them to protest that but not for people protesting wars killing their relatives.

When Biden said “next time let them shoot straight”, I made up my mind about casting a vote for Trump

+1


I guess we did. No Muslim ban protests this time, guess we were not good allies. But wishing the best of luck to the campus guys on taking their protests to the new admin.


You’re such a piece of sh!t, honestly.


Nope. Muslims did not care about the rest of us with this vote, this much is clear. So please do tell, why are we supposed to care about this now. And yes, the pro Palestine protests need to find their new target now. If they dare, under the new regime. But something tells me they will be quiet.


Well, now you know how they felt when they went to vote.


Oh, they told us. And they called us hysterical or something. I guess that hysteria was useful to them when we stood up for them during the Muslim ban, but not anymore. Leppard, faces etc. etc. They're on their own



You’re proving that Arab and Muslim Americans were only important as votes to you and the Harris campaign. Stop pretending you ever cared more than that about them.


Here's my question to you. Did Arabs and Muslims care about me as a woman? Yes or no?

Take this to the other board, please.

Biden didn’t even apologize for the death of the 6 year old Palestinian boy in Chicago who was stabbed to death 26 times as he was playing in his own apartment.

Biden and Harris can go to hell along with Netanyahu.
