      Some do believe in lesser-evilism and are holding on to it, others simply don’t care except about themselves. This drop remains one of the largest in a very short period. Biden and the Democratic Party had around 59% approval among Arab Americans before October 2023. I don’t have conclusive data but I know that it was higher than among the general population at any period, now it is in the single digits.

          You should explain to her that not voting enables the regime…

          Protest vote random third party or just write in anything is the proper way to send the message.

        Trump is unpopular as well. Telling Arab-Americans they should fall in line and vote for someone actively contributing to genocide of Palestinians is monstrous behavior, I encourage you to touch grass.

          I’m not telling arab-americans to do anything. I invite you to chill out.

          You have two options.

          1. Biden who supports Israel almost completely in this war and is making at least some diplomatic effort to move toward a peace agreement.
          2. Trump who wanted a “complete Muslim ban” and wants to deport people who don’t completely support Israel.

          You tell me which option you pick. You can whine about wanting other options but you don’t have any. If you don’t want Trump then not voting for Biden helps Trump.

            Clearly Arab-Americans have decided that largely, they cannot abide either of these outcomes, and have ditched both genocidal parties in favor of non-genocidal parties.

            That’s why you need to touch grass, telling Arab-Americans that genocide must be tolerated and democracy doesn’t exist.

                  Look I don’t friggin’ care who you are. Anything you do to help Trump win is going to be a bad thing to do. Biden is NOT the perfect candidate for you. There is no such thing. But Trump is certainly worse.

                  You can sit back and say “yeah but arab americans don’t like him” – well too friggin’ bad. At the moment he’s the only other viable option. So quitcherremovedin’ and DON’T elect Trump FFS.

                    How am I helping Trump win by not voting for Trump? Why is Biden entitled to my vote?

                    How many genocides would it take for you to abandon “Lesser Evil” rhetoric? Would you vote for the real Nazi party if it was competing against Nazis+, rather than vote for a third party?

        1. Trump as you can clearly see is very unpopular among Arab Americans.
        2. Arab Americans are citizens, majority Christian and practically indistinguishable, here are a two American celebrities you might not have known were Arabs: Callie Khouri, and Tony Shalhoub.

            Only regime removed care…

            We lived under both and life is shite for majority of Americans

            These fear campaigns are tone deaf.
