Alternatively, they could vote for Trump who has already stated his desire to increase all bans on Muslim immigrants. How long before his racist leadership tries to outright deport all Muslim citizens for not being “white enough”?
I mean at this point Shapiro isn’t even a presumptive nominee, he’s just one of the possible candidates. I think the only reason he’s even being considered is because he might bring in some extra votes in a large swing State.
It’s odd to me that so many Arab voters are leaning towards Stein. As much as we hate it, this is still a two-party nation, and in an election where the votes might be close why would you take any chances in basically throwing away your vote? Personally I would still cast my ballot for the candidate who hasn’t directly threatened my family. Then again polls are not ballots, and as we get closer to November a lot of people’s opinions could still change.
The fact that he is even likely is insulting.
If Democrats want Arab and Muslim votes maybe they shouldn’t even consider someone who volunteers to kill Palestinians and calls them savages as VP?
You’re right… they should vote for Trump. How stupid…
You need glasses
The only thing that matters this election is how many votes Harris gets vs. how many votes Trump gets. You either vote for Harris or against Harris. It’s a sucky reality, but it is reality.
Sorry, not voting for your genocider-of-choice. She can still win over other Arabs and Muslims IF she chooses her VP wisely. She lost me a long time ago.
Why are all the Arabs doing the right thing? Don’t they understand they are supposed to do the wrong thing?
If all other people joined the Arabs there would be no more two party system.
True enough, but how you are going to convince enough people to change a lifetime of voting habits? I mean I voted 3rd-party in 2016 because it literally doesn’t matter in my district – we vote more than 80% Democrat so a few people changing their vote wasn’t going to matter. However after losing in 2016 to that shitstain I’m simply not willing to take that chance again. I know my one vote still wouldn’t make a difference, but for me the principle this time is voting directly against Trump by voting Dem. And hoping that Conservatives finally realize Trump isn’t a “radical change”, he is just outright insane and doesn’t give a rats ass about anyone who is worth less than tens of millions of dollars, and that the next election provides candidates who aren’t treating people’s lives like a stupid reality show.
If only people would take the Arabs as example and start endorsing a third party instead of pushing back on it. Somewhere a line must be drawn. If not here where?
Sure, lines must be drawn. The problem is that one of the candidates is openly friendly with white-supremists and likes to encourage them to take action without getting his own hands dirty. If this election opens the doors for openly killing anyone of color (you know, even more so than it is now), then we’re really taking a big step backwards and have no hope at all of pressuring our government to start making things right in other countries too. From my perspective, both parties are going to continue this genocide in Pakistan for as long as they can, and if we open the doors to domestic terrorism then none of us have any hope of trying to encourage foreign policy changes.
So if genocide is not the red line, at what point would you stop voting Democrat?
Probably just as long as the Democratic candidates. They have the track record.
The Democrats care about not alienating you (if you’re a corporate or ultra -wealthy entity).
