Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Seems like cutting off your face to spite the nose but also can't trust the polls and the DNC's messaging about Israel has been dogshit so who knows.
You know what?
This is a really good point. According to the article,
the margin of error of plus or minus 5.93 percent.
Meanwhile, it also said the poll was saying,
45 percent to 43 percent
So in the extreme case, rather than being down by 2 points for Harris, it could be up for Harris by almost 4 points.
Anyone who is an Arab-American and concerned about the situation in the middle east, and who is voting for Trump, has to be a special kind of stupid. He's the candidate who hates brown-skinned people and who is backed by money that supports Jewish interests in the middle east because they think more death and destruction will force Jesus to come down from his cloud quicker. If these Arab Americans think Trump will offer Palestine or Lebanon even a modicum of help then they are fucking idiots.
Edit: Clarified some phrasing.

I can't say I'm surprised, harris has blown the narrative. but I am saddened by the fact that Arabs think turnip is a better option, I think it's a plain as day what he thinks and plans for the next administration. I am feeling very pessimistic these days.
Harris isn't going to alienate 300,000 Jewish voters in PA for 20,000 Arab voters in MI.

"The American Jewish Population Project at Brandeis University estimates there are about 300,000 Jewish voters in the Keystone State. When you consider that Joe Biden won Pennsylvania by less than 82,000 votes in 2020, and Trump by about 44,000 votes in 2016, the margins matter."
So there a shit ton dumbass Arabs then? Do they have their heads up their ass? Seriously are we sure this isn't Russian trolls. No Arabian could Seriously think Trump will be better for them then Harris? Or is it a sexiest thing because she a woman?
A lot of Arab-Americans are Christians, who have a problematic relationship with Arab identity.
They may be people who are opposed to the idea of a far-right, pan-islamist caliphate swallowing up the Middle East.
Oddly enough, some of the people who survived long enough to see West Germany wanted there to be a monarchy established there...
The Jewish voting block, although largely Blue by tradition, does have have a real alternative in the GOP candidate (since he'd stick with the Israel Prime Minister no matter how low they go in Gaza, no matter what, as long as he's not personally insulted).
This is part of the reason why Dems have had to walk such a fine line around Gaza - it's next to impossible navigate without offending either group. That said, it's difficult to understand folks of this persuasion who'd actively support the GOP guy here - both alternatives are bad so you'd actually pick the worse one?
