[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another Muslim and longtime democrat.

Not voting for Harris but also not voting for Trump.

In my circle of Muslims that I know, only one person is voting Harris, two are likely voting for trump, and everyone else is voting third party or staying home.

There was a window for Harris to win back a lot of Muslim votes, but she didn’t earn them.[/quote]

What was that “window”? What do you believe Harris should have done within that window to “earn” / “win back a lot of Muslim votes”?

I ask because I’m genuinely curious. This post is also both very specific —and short on details. Harris has been the nominee for less than 2 months — although I get that early voting and voting by mail are already starting up. Given these time constraints, I’d like to understand what Harris could have done — or possibly could still do—  within them to meet your expectations. [/quote]

The window was open after Biden dropped out.

When she scolded protesters and told them that they want Trump to win, it was not a good look.

They did not allow any pro-Palestinian speakers at the DNC.

DNC official platform was changed to add pro-Israeli talking points about Lebanon.

The uncommitted movement asked her for a meeting after the convention, she refused.

A US citizen was shot in the West Bank by the IDF in August, and the US said nothing.

Another US citizen was killed in the exact same place a couple of weeks later, and Biden called it an accident. The administration should have been more forceful about condemning it. What would have been the downside in calling the family and opening an independent US investigation? The family has said they have not received a call from Biden or Harris.

She has said a ceasefire is needed, but has not said anything else about how her administration would be different. At an interview with the NABJ last week, she was pressed by journalist Eugene Daniels about specific policy that she would implement, and she just said we need a ceasefire. That's it.

Meanwhile, the situation is spiraling out of control. There is almost no chance of ceasefire in Gaza anytime soon. Israel is talking about ordering the population in northern Gaza to leave, starving the people who remain by blocking all aid, and then doing the same thing in the south. Lebanon is on fire, with nearly 200 killed just today. The US talks about deescalation, but apparently approves of the "de-escalate through escalation" strategy of Israel.

Thank you for your detailed response to my questions.  I appreciate the links.  [/quote]
