Only 17% of Arab American voters say they will vote for Biden in 2024, according to a new poll.
“Look, we’re not silly—we know what Trump has done to our communities,” says Amer Zahr, the president of the Dearborn-based New Generation for Palestine. But when it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, he continues, “The policies are basically the same. Except when Trump does it, you get some pushback from the Democratic Party.”
Positively delusional.
Right? Like great, vote for the GOP, they will definitely care about Arab policies. /s
Foolish and short sighted. Sorry but 2/3 of the US population supports Israel in this conflict, and likely all of the remaining 1/3 is from the young liberal left. Biden is an old democrat, expecting any other result was naive.
But sure, elect an authoritarian Trump. Then instead of protesting, just get thrown in a camp for not being white and christian.
It’s like they’ve forgotten Trump’s policies on Israel that were explicitly reversals of Dem policy during Obama, and even reversals of former, less jingoistically pro-Israel policies of the pre-Obama GOP. Which, mind, were major wins for the far-right government of Bibi which is currently in power in Israel, and eked into power by a fucking thread.
I guess the great thing about being an American is how well everyone assimilates, regardless of ethnic origin. They’re just following in the long and storied American tradition of being fucking clueless about foreign affairs and having the political memories of goldfish.
If Arabs don’t vote for Joe or stay home pouting on the couch on election day, the only thing they’ll accomplish is to enable the tragic national nightmare of a second trump misadministration and a whole new tsunami of violent, stochastic terrorism-driven Islamophobia that has already cost innocent Muslim Americans their lives
Until first past the post is done away with your 3rd candidate vote is an awful idea.
fuck this. This is literally what people said during Trump’s first election. Guess what? Making things worse doesn’t magically make things better.
“both sides” ☝️🤓
How are democrats different from republicans when it comes to israel? If the shoe fits…
At least some democrats are willing to admit that Israel may have done some bad
Didn’t Trump literally already say he was bringing back the Muslim ban and making it worse? But ok, I guess vote for him anyway. Most republican voters vote against their own interests all the time so they’ll fit right in until they’re deported.
They’ll probably just not bother voting for either. Why waste time doing so if you’ll get screwed regardless?
Why waste time doing so if you’ll get screwed regardless?
So the solution to this is to sit home knowing full well that benefits the man who is literally campaigning on the promise to screw you harder?
You argue that because you see a difference between them, but for marginalized peoples they are the same.
only 17% of Arab American voters saying they will vote for Biden in 2024—a staggering drop from 59% in 2020.
Alternate headline: 42% of Arab Americans decide to assist in electing the greater evil because Palestine.
