WASHINGTON, D.C. – After narrowly backing Israel’s military action in Gaza in November, Americans now oppose the campaign by a solid margin. Fifty-five percent currently disapprove of Israel’s actions, while 36% approve.

    How many Muslims do you think there are in the US??

    Irrelevant question.

    A better question is - How many Muslims are in Michigan?

    And the answer to that is - Enough to flip the state, and therefore the election, to Trump.

      Possibly. Another relevant question - how many white centrists in Wisconsin, Nevada, and Arizona?

        People who would vote for Trump because Biden chose not to support genocide? Probably not many. From what I understand real centrists are a dying breed.

          Politically active centrists are a dying breed, because if they actually paid attention they wouldn’t be centrists.

          But somewhere between 1/2 and 1/3 of the country falls into the low-information voter category.

            I mean low-information voter is one thing, but I think even those people either understand that Trump is a threat to democracy or think that he’s their messiah who descended from the sky.

              It seems like that to us, because those are the types we’re exposed to. The low info voters don’t comment on political articles.

          Not too many Russians in America, so I couldn’t say them, I know that’s so disappointing for you

            I didn’t say “tell me what you call people you hate because they oppose genocide.”

                Anyone who crosses you must be a scary foreigner, sure. You’re talking like a xenophobic republican. Do you think I’m gonna take your job?
