      Oh fuck. Dammit, Bill. Just make it clear that the party has completely abandoned them.

      Alienate voters you need. Blame them for any loss you earn in so doing. Fucking hell, why are we doing this again?

        The Muslim populations in the swing states that Biden won in 2020 is larger than the margin of votes he received. They’ve learned absolutely nothing from 2016.

          They learned that they can browbeat the left into silence and get everything they want if they just lose.

          • He’s trying to make the pro-Netanyahu case to them

            Israeli forces have to kill tens of thousands of Palestinians because they are allegedly human shields for Hamas.

            I.e. Hamas is evil and it’s their fault that Israeli bullets ended up inside of innocent Gazians. There is an element of truth to this, but as the article points out,

            It should be noted that the Israeli military has recently been accused of using Palestinian civilians as human shields in their Gaza operations.

            The only good thing about this is that it makes Harris look more moderate by comparison.

        Hold up… See, I recognize your username. So suddenly, you want the Democrats to win, despite your claims that anyone that supports them is pro-genocide?

        Shouldn’t you welcome this “mask off” moment from the Democrats?

        Why the change of heart? Or is it just that you’re allergic to acting in good faith?

    This should be interesting. There’s a reason why Harris hasn’t gone there in person. And Trump is probably even more hated by the Arabs. I wonder how civil this will be.

      Idk. I posted this piece from Medhi where he interviews Micheal Moore, which if you want to get a read on MI, thats your guy.

      https://lemmy.world/post/21487386

      The consensus I got from those two is that MI is lost for Harris since she didn’t/ isn’t going to pivot. I know we’re seeing other data on women voters, but like, I don’t see a path to the WH without Michigan for Harris. I just can’t imagine how she could lose MI, but keep WI and PA, AND THEN ALSO pick up NC or GA or some other sunbelt state.

      Its just very very difficult for me to imaging losing MI but picking up somewhere else. MI should be in the bag, incontestable.

        Thanks for the read. I’ll take a look at it when I get the chance.

        MI should be in the bag, incontestable.

        Yeah it should have been but the Democrats, and Harris, royally fucked this up with all that they’ve done and supported the past 13 months of this conflict. Trump going to Dearborn just goes to show how close it is to turning red.

          The fuck are we gonna do at this point. The only possible saving grace is a literal tsunami of women voters. Harris really needed to be sweeping/ taking at least 5-7 of the swing states, to keep this thing out of the hands of the supreme court. That seems like an impossibility at this point.

        I know a lot of people have been saying the polling shouldn’t be trusted, but they always underestimate Trump and he’s basically taking every swing state even still. Harris only has like .8% in one or two which in reality is like +3 Trump.

        We’re so fucked it’s stupid.

          Harris was on track to end up at around +4, +5, +6 if she would have been able to follow through on the momentum she gathered going into the convention. She took all that good will and threw it in the trash to spur Muslism voters and anti-war voters, then went on to put Liz-FUCKING-Cheney on stage.

          I can tell you the exact moment Harris started to lose this election and it was right here:

          It was the moment Jeff Duncan, a pro-abortion Republican, got the stage instead of a Palestinian.

            Yeah but have you considered that the military industrial complex and Isreal are more important than people’s lives and even our own country?!
