Only 17% of Arab American voters say they will vote for Biden in 2024, according to a new poll.

    I mean, man, if I had my way, I’d say fuck Israel, either reduce aid drastically or demand more accountability regarding civilian casualties. But unfortunately, a good half of Dem voters are still quite content to support Israel unconditionally. I absolutely am in favor of reaching out to the Arab-American community, but I doubt it’s going to happen anytime soon.

    Honestly, the ‘best’ realistic outcome is that many of us will remember this shitshow, especially those who are young enough to still be forming opinions on international affairs, and unconditional support for Israel will drop further with upcoming voting age cohorts.

      Pug Jesus, you always spoil me by the grace of your presence. I hear ya. With the shit shows I’ve been in the middle of lately, doubly so. I didn’t think as much of this when I first heard it, but this is like the 3rd time I’m hearing it and it feels like someone out there in media thinks this is worth warning about.

      It already seems like the Biden admin is beginning to see that they are between a rock and a hard place here, so I think a lot of it will come down to how they handle this. Both parties and this system is beyond fucked, but we’re all at the mercy of it till someone can take fascism off the table and put it back in the toilet. I just really hope that they don’t fuck this up man. It already looks like Biden can’t get Israel back on “plan” or pull back on the reins anymore or it would have happened middle of last week. So it feels fucked.

      I was knocking doors for candidates today and had an old man just go on for 20 minutes about how things are all falling apart because of 20 years of immigration and that he knew who was secretly all behind it. Yup, Obama. And THAT is why you don’t hear about him in the news anymore.

      I don’t want this war to come back here but maybe it was always inevitable. Just so you know, rifle plates and carriers are relatively cheap. <3
