The Democrats care about not alienating you (if you’re a corporate or ultra -wealthy entity).
Alternatively, they could vote for Trump who has already stated his desire to increase all bans on Muslim immigrants. How long before his racist leadership tries to outright deport all Muslim citizens for not being “white enough”?
I mean at this point Shapiro isn’t even a presumptive nominee, he’s just one of the possible candidates. I think the only reason he’s even being considered is because he might bring in some extra votes in a large swing State.
It’s odd to me that so many Arab voters are leaning towards Stein. As much as we hate it, this is still a two-party nation, and in an election where the votes might be close why would you take any chances in basically throwing away your vote? Personally I would still cast my ballot for the candidate who hasn’t directly threatened my family. Then again polls are not ballots, and as we get closer to November a lot of people’s opinions could still change.
It’s worth considering that maybe Arab and Muslim voters aren’t stupid and they have a point. If we assume that both parties really want to win (and with Dems that is definitely an if), then the worst thing you can do to persuade them to listen to you is to vow to vote for them unconditionally. If the constituency keeps approving a genocide and the genocide remains profitable, why ever would the Dems offer an anti-genocide candidate? Conversely, if hardline opposition to the genocide loses the Dems an election, suddenly next time around their pro-genocide ghouls aren’t “electable” and they need to actually pick someone who will give the people some of what they want, almost like there’s a popular mandate or something!
All of this is giving a thousand times more credence to liberal democracy in general and America’s in particular than I actually have, but there are many ways of thinking beyond “Well, what are you going to do about the two party monopoly?”, most of which involve thinking past a single election cycle.
The fact that he is even likely is insulting.
If Democrats want Arab and Muslim votes maybe they shouldn’t even consider someone who volunteers to kill Palestinians and calls them savages as VP?
Why are all the Arabs doing the right thing? Don’t they understand they are supposed to do the wrong thing?
If all other people joined the Arabs there would be no more two party system.
I will never understand people who vote third party. It’s absolutely not a viable option if you actually care about reforming voting laws (or, you know, stopping fucking fascists from taking over, as the case is in this election)
For me personally it is about dignity. I am not voting for someone who as VP -stood silent- cheered on while their boss enabled the worst genocide of our lifetime and whose likely VP pick volunteered to kill Palestinians and called Palestinians savages. Is this not fascism? Or is fascism is only when bad things happen to white people?
Goes without saying not voting for Trump either.
Why would they vote for Harris, who has already stated her desire to support Israel’s genocide and ethnostate? How long before her racist leadership tries to outright deport all Muslim citizens for being “too anti-semitic”?
Now you’re just trying to impress Republican policies onto Democrats. Democrats accept immigrants and welcome the diversity into our country, Republicans just want to deport everyone who isn’t a “true white American”.
If you pay absolutely no attention to policies or what is actually going on, I could see how you would reach that conclusion. Reality, unfortunately, disagrees with you.
