That analogy is very flawed and, within the context of Arab voters, crosses the realm of “insensitive” and well into “fucking stupid” territory.
I’ll start with the “very flawed” part. Harris didn’t promise to “paint the interior an ugly color”, she promised to sit and watch while the ship slowly sunk and maybe open a few small holes. She promised stagnation and yet more rightward shifting to people who are being driven closer and closer to poverty every day. Sure, she was better than Trump, but she still had massive policy and attitude flaws that can’t be called “painting the interior a bad color”.
Now for the “fucking stupid” part: Harris was promising to do exactly the same things Biden was doing in Palestine. She promised that and still expected—or thought she could do without—Arab votes. Votes from people who were losing loved ones and attending funerals because of the policy she completely unapologetically promised to continue. Comparing killing her voters’ families to “painting the ship a bad color” is, as I said above, fucking stupid.
Allowing Trump to win was “fucking stupid” for anyone that actually cares about this genocide. Accelerating everything for innocent people from the comfort of your western home - all that matters is your virtue signaling.
If this was a race (which it might me given the state of AI and mass surveillance) you would all immediately smash into a wall thinking the shortest distance is fastest ignoring the reality of the track in front of you. Geopolitics is real.
You forgot to mention that the current captain is shooting one POC person a day while it heads into an iceberg.
And the first choice for new captain is the current first mate who by all accounts will not change course, and keeps promising to uphold the shoot a POC person a day policy. And you’re acting surprised they’re not getting popular support from that group.
Lol ya, but that’s been done on purpose. They’ve been underfunding public institutions, including education, for decades, and trying to privatize it. They have been making university seem like it’s only purpose is as a job-training center instead of also opening your mind and improving critical thinking while making it more expensive. They’ve been spewing propaganda at us the whole time through billionaire-funded news and media while slowly undercutting public broadcasting. It’s all been pretty successful apparently.
You have two choices for ship’s captain.
One wants to paint the interior a color you hate. Like, it’s the worst color you’ve ever seen. And she won’t even listen to you about changing it.
The other wants to run the ship into an iceberg.
Hope you brought a life jacket.

I’m not surprised. People are pretty stupid, little shocks me these days.

If I hear this crap one more time I’m going to make the news.
What, you’re going to murder someone in an act of pointless violence? Great call.
You already have. Mostly in the “people regret their obviously stupid decision” category.
Maybe you hear it all the time because it’s the reality. You can just bury your head in the sand harder I guess, that’s an option.
