murdered yet another American citizen and you know that wouldn’t happen if Russia or any other country on this planet had murdered them and the media will barely (if at all), cover the murders —because people like Jake Tapper are considered your typical, “American” journalists as he’s screaming about everyone being an antisemite due to his own Zionism— then the hell with the US for basically telling us that despite being people who work, pay taxes, have educations, have people who serve whether in military or law enforcement, one foreign country can kill us with impunity.
I don’t know how anyone rationalizes their defense of a disastrous FP going on like this for so long and not comprehending that the US would’ve never had the enemies it had if it had actually prioritized Americans for all of these years, not endlessly lie, send hundreds of billions, break both US and Int’l law and protect from accountability one country created out of lies and the fact the west never paid for its own sins, and instead, made Palestinians pay for it.
And don’t think you’re immune from your country turning on you because you’re a good little American who sees no problem in laws violating your own 1A on behalf of one, foreign country. Slippery slope.

Biden raised prices by boosting energy prices, and Trump will lower grocery bills by lowering energy costs.

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.
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.
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.

Suckers!!!!!
What happened during the first Trump administration? Two Muslim Am women made it to US Congress and they’re anti Trump. Trump didn’t do anything because it’s a democracy. Trump
Doesn’t censor politicians or CNN like the Biden admin does. Don’t preach about democracy before examining your own backyard

It seems many Muslims won’t vote for Harris and will stay Home.
And then they will discover how much worse trump will be for them, the hard way.
Muslim here and life long democrat. I can't bring myself to vote for Harris because of genocide. Trump might as well be worse but there is an element of unpredictability in Trump that I'm willing to take this time. I know exactly what Biden/Harris are doing.
Smart decision. make sure this country falls apart and then we won't be able to help anyone. Ever heard of putting on your oxygen mask first? We need to vote what is best for this country, first. I am sure you are not a Muslim voting for Trump nor a democrat.
My goodness. He was already in office 4 years and the country didn't fall apart.
When Harris says "we're not going back" I keep thinking why not? The country was better off then. (Of course she won't even answer that simple direct question 'are you better off now than 4 years ago." Gee, I wonder why?
The country is way better off now than it was four years ago. If you don't think so, that's on you. Take some responsibility and pull yourself up by your bootstraps.
DP. It’s on me that my groceries cost 20% more? It’s on me that millions of illegal immigrants, including terrorists, have entered the country- even been flown in? It’s on me that my kid who is a teacher in a solidly blue county in a blue state can’t afford to live where he works? This is all on me even though I voted for Biden??? My bootstraps have been stretched to the limit, thank you very much.

Good luck to you. If Trump were to win again, the few brakes that we had are gone now - according to the Republican Court, a president has total immunity! - so I’m sure you’d be happy in whatever country Trump decided you belonged in.
Dp. You are not understanding the “lesser of two evils” calculus that many of us are making.
One candidate is literally part of the administration handing out weapons, vetoing U.N. resolutions, and enabling a war that is killing our brothers and sisters. They may have good words to say, but their actions say something else.
Another candidate may be saying bad words, but is not actually participating in killing our friends and family. He is a wild card and it is a possibility that it could get worse and it is a possibility it could get better.
It’s a possibility we have to take and I think deep down a lot of people would make a similar choice.
