Once again I see lots of white Dems using this to blame Muslims or Arab voters. Stop blaming others for the fact that 57% of white people voted for Trump--only 42% of Whites voted Harris. The 20,000 votes Harris lost in Michigan didn't decide this election-it was white voters. Own it.

That said, Palestinians deserve human rights & our support.
Amazingly, a decent proportion of the population has eyes and ears.
A non-white woman with a late start to the race.
Blue No Matter Who leads to real harms.
Wherever I was, I addressed it with whoever said it.
You have to EARN their votes, no one owes us anything.
That's the only dividing line that's really important. When it mattered, did you stand for democracy or did you vote for a tyrant.
But yes, most white people failed the test.
If a white person is saying it. Fact check it. Period.
The majority of the voters didnt.
The choice was a sane person who would improve on the policy of Biden or the insane one who promised to be a dictator and was involved with project 2025.
This is purely on the US people.
every time TRUMP does something horrible.
Read some facts about the Biden policy .
Do you see ANYONE talking about the two state solution?Do you see USAID going to Gaza?!
GET A GRIP
Trump & the GOP are responsible for all of this. I want Dems to be an effective opposition. But fighting over who lost the last war (like blaming those who couldn’t stomach genocide) is no strategy for winning the battles to come.
On Gaza
I don't blame Arab or Muslim voters as their anger was clearly sincere.
My anger is reserved for those who were arguing that Trump would somehow be better either out of stupidity or venality.
The Arab Americans were warned and could have known Trump is against Muslims. Which was proven again last night.
Fill a need they have.
Evangelicals are lost.

But instead of being racist and finding a minority to blame, start with your own folks first, especially considering the higher rate white folks voted for Trump at. And the higher social power white folks generally have for like, everything.
- ~60% of white people voted for Trump in 2016, 2020, and 2024
^ this is all I have to say to white people blaming Black and brown people right now
They told us to fuck off, and they lost.🤷♂️
Once again, as always- not the left's fault.
But Harris' message DID get through- people just hated it.
They *dont*.
And without a bold vision, Harris couldn't overcome her preexisting headwinds of race & gender.
stop downplaying their role in the genocide of Gaza, which started well before Trump took office
What you mean is the inherent racism and adherence to the characteristics of white supremacy and the patriarchy. Not "stupid"
I know, I get it.
But they aren't stupid they are racist.
Uncomfortable conversations.
We white women in particular have all but given up on Uncomfortable Conversations within our own collective.
Even the feminists can't see it sometimes.
It's designed that way.
But that doesn't serve anything. It's empty.
It means you think you're "too good" to be associated with people who look just like you.
Is that true?
Or is it just Muslims, Arabs, and Latinos?
This is not a case where only the margin carries the blame.
2) None of that matters if the killing won't stop.
Secondly, she gave speeches supporting Palestinian rights & a two-state solution ( at times, taking a stronger stand than Biden on the issues). Listen
It did matter b/c now FELON trump will let netanyahu do whatever he wants, including annexation of the West Bank.
I truly do not understand why some Dems are so hateful. They are acting like trumpers.
It's sad but yes, they assist the wrong side because they don't actually like leftists, they like being comfortable.

Their FAMILIES are suffering unimaginable horrors.
If you can't find any compassion or understanding for these folks, you must not think of them as human or worthy of compassion and understanding.
They are not the reason trump won.
Yet you're very comfortable blaming them and sending hatred their way.
What's that about? What does that say about you?
No. I don't get reactions like yours. Why do you choose to single out folks who's families are enduring unimageable horrors as responsible for trump?
It's ignorant. It's cruel. It's racist. IT IGNORES THE FACTS ABOUT THE ELECTION AND THE MILLIONS OF WHITES WHO VOTED FOR TRUMP.
Parties are supposed to be responsive to the electorate, not the other way around.
Blaming demoralized voters for not voting hard enough is kinda like Elon suing advertisers who left Twitter when he ruined it
You just sound racist not accepting reality.

No “I believe it is peace for our time” Neville Chamberlain

Addressing the 57% means addressing white soi-disants left accelerationists.
Do you think the very weight of the popular vote matters symbolically, and even upping the percent in blue or red States counts on paper?
Food for thought
did you know that voters owe nothing to the parties and it's their job to earn the votes of the electorate
