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.
