2024 U.S. Elections | Trump wins
- Thread starter Raoul
- Start date
A lot of Arab Americans are completely ambivalent about the choices up for election, with good cause
Will be interesting to see if Kamala wins Michigan; without it she will be toast
I didn’t realise we were due for another drive by.
If Trump had a track record of following through with his rants then I would agree. In a vast majority of cases, he never does what he says, including all of his campaign promises about policy (building the wall, Mexico will pay for it, etc). He’s a vile person who is full of hot air and false promises.
I’m voting Dem as soon as in person early voting opens up two days before Election Day.
This is a very fair point.
But, couple of things:
1. Her answers on the economy, immigration and borders were not good as you say.
2. Her answers on Gaza (in response to one student) and on antisemitism (a question by another) weren’t good either.
4-5 topics, not a single answer sounded convincing.
3. If I, as a voter of hers and someone who’s trying to convince people to vote for her, couldn’t watch all of this Town hall, others who aren’t as convinced may have done the same.
In any case, we have an election to win. This event has been over for couple of days. I’ve moved on.
Oops. Sorry
I really don't understand pro-Palestinian voters will will vote for Trump. I understand them being unhappy with Harris, but not going the next step and actually voting for the man who stands in opposition to everything thy profess to believe.
As a non American, it is so weird seeing newspapers officially endorse candidates. The liberals on social media getting mad about this even more so.
Where are you from?
there are socially conservative arabs, there are arab business owners. this was a republican demographic before w and his war on terror.
"Democracy dies in darkness"
Germany.
I think that's what some people fail to grasp.
Arabs outside of foreign policy aren't some homogenised voting bloc. A lot of them are traditionally socially conservative business owners who historically have always voted GOP.
If the situation is genocide Palestinian babies vs genocide Palestinian babies regretfully, then the choice comes down to their personal circumstances and politics.
Also constantly calling them idiotic for not deciding to vote for Harris has a counter-intuitive effect.
Though the progressive Arabs who vote GOP to spite the Dems are a little insane.
Beside the face on the caption? did she answered? and what she answered if so?Haha go get kindly fecked - For a good couple of years, Biden's stumbles and slip-ups were hard to ignore, yet even the slightest mention of cognitive decline was met with fierce media backlash (and a torrent of abuse in places like this very thread!). Media and the Admin kept pushing this "sharp as a tack" story, telling us he was the best Biden yet, completely lying to the public because they're fake and lack morals. Which is why now that they're crying wolf none gives a shit and we're about to end up with an Orange Clown for 4 more years.
Feck the media
So much for Bezos not messing in editorial affairs. He can launch himself into space (albeit only suborbital) and eat his shite. As Bo Burnham said, Jeffrey you can do it.
1. I didn't say her answers on the economy and the border were good. I said...
"When in a conversational environment, Harris isn't great on the economy or the border. It feels like she is trying not to make a mistake."
It is clearly a weakness and by now her answers should be better given they are the number 1 and 2 issue.
2. What is the issue with her Gaza answer and what realistically what should she have said...
Same goes for the Antisemitism answer.
3. I guess they could switch over, watch Newsmax and see Trump talking about Arnold Palmer's cock!
I agree, but only you never did. When you start hey will be judged by any change
Media should stay out clearly endorsing a candidate, even if their editorial lines are clearly in favour of someone
Considering the guy wanted to jump down her throat every time she tried to answer his question and catch her with gotchas, then yes, i would say she did great in an adversarial environment.
Not only that, she called him out for playing a deceptive clip of Trump denying talking about "enemies of the state" rather than the original clip of him saying it. He later owned up to the "mistake" by claiming he/they played the wrong clip. Which is complete BS because why would they have had the wrong clip ready to roll? It make no sense. They were clearly trying to sanewash Trump and she caught them out....
Sheesh if that's really what you think we got essays worth of things to prove the opposite for you. Let me know if you want me to start at 1. Even the things he didn't quite do were therefore made worse: let's use your example of building a pointless wall using tax payer money that disappeared into the pockets of his cronies (ie contractors that had no experience building one) through fraud and worse (say hello to Mr. Bannon). He makes promises and somehow makes it worse.
It’s been a very long day, so I might be missing something obvious, but is this not more or less the same point I was making?
It's bizarreIt has been done in the UK for years...

Also weird. I try not to pay attention to the Sun. It's just not a thing, where I am from, nor should it be IMO.
That is a good life lesson for all.
Famous OnlyFans star Corinna Kopf supports Trump.
Never heard of her.
Interesting that the Guillen family is not corroborating Goldberg's story though
The Atlantic used to be a great magazine; now it’s just another casualty in the billionaire media takeover.
Good days…
I used to be subscribed to the Washington Post. No more. I stopped a while ago.
I have been done with NYT even before that. Sold its soul to Trump.
For foreign affairs, I read French media. Not fully impartial, but still better than what we have here.
The Trump era has killed a lot of what used to be decent in this country. Everything has become corrupted/political, including our sports and media.
Trump has pissed off thousands of his cult followers tonight by turning up to one of his rallies in Michigan hours later than advertised. He spent lots of extra time with Joe Rogan and evennhas a video played to his waiting crowd telling them he stayed with Joe for longer because it reaches more people and he absolutely has to win!
Yet they will still vote for him.
That does not reflect reality.
This might even be better than Howard Stern.
Harris looks energized in Texas.
