“The election has already started. Absentee ballots have been sent. We need to catch up rapidly. We need everyone here to get active. We need to be clear about what our goals are. We are not in a position to win the White House, but we do have a real opportunity to win something historic, we could deny Kamala Harris the state of Michigan. And the polls show that most likely Harris cannot win the election without Michigan.”

Trump is actively attempting to court these dissatisfied voters. In September, he received the endorsement of Democrat Amer Ghalib, the Muslim mayor of Hamtramck, Michigan.

Many Arab American leaders, meanwhile, have strongly opposed a Trump presidency, citing his so-called Muslim ban on immigrants from several majority-Muslim countries.

      Drag heard a great name for them today: Socialism Angels

      They think that by choosing to abstain from democracy by not voting or voting third party, they’re not culpable for their country’s genocides. They can just sit on their clouds, polishing their halos, gloating about their moral purity, while Gaza burns.

        This might actually bring some of those people to vote for Harris. There’s a difference between high minded moralism and watching the worst case scenario happen. Like knowing something intellectually, and actually seeing it.

        it’s actually a better scenario that they’re getting paid by russia, otherwise yes, they are that stupid. honestly both possibilities are equally plausible
