More than 100 Arizona Palestinian, Arab, Muslim, and progressive Democrats and community leaders have signed a letter making the case for those reluctant to support Kamala Harris against Donald Trump.

“We know that many in our communities are resistant to vote for Kamala Harris because of the Biden administration’s complicity in the genocide,” the letter, published Thursday night, reads.

“Some of us have lost many family members in Gaza and Lebanon. We respect those who feel they simply can’t vote for a member of the administration that sent the bombs that may have killed their loved ones,” the letter continued. “As we consider the full situation carefully, however, we conclude that voting for Kamala Harris is the best option for the Palestinian cause and all of our communities.”

    Please look up the Kent State Massacre.

    It didn’t just end with arrests.

      Maybe the Democrats won’t stoop to that level.

      Or live and learn, Democrats won’t do that yet, fearing backlash.

        Perhaps, but Trump is outright promising it. He is flat out saying he’ll deploy the National Guard and the military against the “enemy from within”.
