Do you see that he supported the election of Obama, Clinton, Biden etc? Do you understand that he is a pragmatic democratic socialist and caucuses with the Democratic party, not because he shares his ideas but because they are closer to him than fascists? Ah well, remedial politics. - ThreadSky

Yeah, man... That's what I'm arguing for. You don't have to agree with them on everything to understand they're an order of magnitude better than Trump and Republicans.

One can vote against Republicans because they are fascists without denying that Biden and Harris have shown moral coward over the last year, and sacrificed America's moral credibility for a fascist who also prefers DJT.
Read up on the history of liberalism sometime.

Again, yes I know - that's been my argument. Elections offer choices and outcomes. The choices are unlikely to ever fall exactly where everyone wants, but the outcomes are shaped by those choices regardless. To me it's pretty clear that Trump and Republicans are worse than Harris on every topic.

Above, you were ignorantly asserting that Arab-Americans would never vote for Harris or a Democrat.

Care to review some statistics from Yalla Vote and the Arab-American Institute?

Nothing in my comment says anything about how all Arab Americans would vote. I was referring very specifically to a sub set of voters and activists who play this performative rhetorical game where they pretend their votes are actually easily gettable, knowing full well they aren't voting for her.

The comment was in response to my saying that Harris could win the votes of Palestinians and Arab-Americans by speaking with humility and sympathy, not arrogance.

You responded "these people were never voting for her"

I mean, arrogance and rudeness is a choice.
