          I think calling Arab-Americans stupid for refusing to vote for genocide is racist. Harris is handing Trump a victory because she can’t cease US support for Israel.

            I don’t think anyone is calling anyone stupid for calling for an end to the genocide. But what’s stupid is when people think that Trump will somehow stop the genocide.

            Oh and btw… I was banned from world news. LOL.

              There was a commenter calling Arab-American voters stupid for abandoning Harris.

                    How are Arab-Americans being harmed by liberal democrat policies? Do you think Trump being elected will be better for Arab-Americans?

              Virtually no one thinks Trump will stop the genocide. You’re just strawmaning.

                Then why not vote for the other people, who will possibly make it a slightly less bad genocide? What’s wrong with less bad?

                  You’d have to ask them. If your family or the families of people in your community were being slaughtered by the incumbent administration, you might discover you have a red line after all. Fortunately for you, you’ll probably never really know.

                    I’m at least not going to be making it worse.
