Democrats are stepping up their outreach to Muslim and Arab voters, who could be critical in battleground states like Michigan but are concerned about U.S. support for Israel.
Withholding your vote is synonymous to voting for Trump. Trump does not have a moral compass and only cares about himself. He most certainly does not care how many people die in Gaza or anywhere else.
In other words, withholding your vote is voting for genocide.
that’s not how voting works. if I don’t vote for trump is that automatically another vote for harris? they don’t take the non-votes and just give them to the candidate you like least. I’ve always found this stance very silly. Even sillier since American elections aren’t decided by the popular vote anyways.
additionally, withholding your vote is the only way to maintain leverage with politicians, since they do not listen to the policy demands of their constituents. policies that have broad support among the populace (medicare for all, an Israeli arms embargo/ceasefire) are not even a consideration for them. how do you expect them to change if you pledge your support to them anyways? at some point they have to realize that ignoring the demands of their voter base is going to cost them elections, which it should.
History disagrees with your opinion. A large part of the population does not vote in any election, and far right citizens are committed to making their voice heard in every one. When left-wing voters withhold their votes, the Overton window naturally shifts right.
Electors are generally bound to the local popular vote. Candidates can absolutely win the election without winning the popular vote overall though.
Yes. People have evidently forgotten just how dangerous, delusional, and chaotic Trump has been since 2016. He could care less how many people die as long as he isn’t one of them.

Does Harris have a moral compass? Biden? Anyone in Washington? They’re all selling guns to Israel
