    Man all those Arab Americans who voted for their orange god. Their god is cruel. Leopards ate their faces.

      A small majority of Arab-Americans are Christians, mainly descended from Lebanese Maronites and members of Syrian Christian minorities like the Nestorians. There are also a few Copts. Some are descendants of immigrants from as far back as the 1920s. Many of those groups barely identify as Arabs, many have some very real grievances against Muslims, and generally aren’t interested in the Palestinians (not even the Orthodox Christian Palestinians). And even among Muslim Arab-Americans, there is very little solidarity. The religious conservatives despise the Democrats for supporting women’s and LGBTQ+ rights.

      It’s also worth noting that the majority of Palestinian-American groups endorsed the Democrats as the less-bad alternative.

      Yea, cause he’s pretty much the antichrist. I mean, it’s the closest evidence I’ve even been presented with for anything in the Bible being real.

          Trump won with 1% of the vote.
          35% of registered, eligible voters stayed home. If 1% of those that stayed home would have voted we would be in a different world right now.
          Protest voters are absolutely to blame for this.

          If it makes you feel any better, most of the people they’re accusing voted D just like they always do…

            It was never about your vote. It was about the impact of a one-sided message on the votes of others.

            Criticism of Biden’s handling of Gaza was completely fair. That topic had no place in discussing the election unless fairly compared to the alternative we see here.

        Did you want to show me an example of you treating an ongoing genocide as a joke like a trump supporter would?

        Edit:

        Nevermind, you literally mod a trump sub and a sub about trolling, no wonder you act like a trump supporter

          Just so ya know, @Breadsmasher mods a sub called the_Donald (which I assume is what you’re talking about) that is dedicated to documenting trumps crimes. NOT a pro-trump sub.

          I highly recommend clicking through when you find something like that, often it’s a terrible sub but there’s also times when it’s not what you’d expect. As for the other sub, that’s called lemmyDrama, which is just about lemmy drama, like how r/subredditdrama on reddit is about drama. So I wouldn’t call that trolling. But that might just be my opinion on what trolling is.

            That would make sense, if they didn’t seem to spend an inordinate amount of time accusing people of not voting because they talk about what the party could do better, and “joking” about genocide.

            I took a look at their first page of post history and didn’t have to dig any deeper to block them.

            I don’t think I’d have found anything constructive if I scrolled deeper.

            I mean, do you honestly think anyone watched the last three elections and think the best path forward is attacking the left?

            Even if they’re being genuine, it’s a terrible strategy to get Dems back in power.

            So whether it’s intentional or not doesn’t really matter. They’re actively hurting the party with every comment they make.

          He’s a stupid fucking clown, and so are all these people blaming people who are anti genocide for a genocide both the democrats and republicans have been enabling and perpetuating. It’s fucking bonkers to see.

            It’s just so disappointing watching “moderates” side with literal trump supporters and falling for propaganda that makes them attack the very people they need for the Dem party to win elections.

            The left can win without the middle, that’s how Obama got elected to both his terms, but the middle can’t win without the left.

            All the middle shitting on the left does is help Republicans. But they just won’t stop doing it. They’d honestly rather have a Republican over a progressive.

            Ken Martin wasn’t my first pick, but I’m still hopeful he’ll steer the party in the right direction. Shits too important not to.

              And that’s just it right there. Libs don’t understand it and would rather attack the left than try to work together with them. And then they’ll try to blame fascism on the left(?!?) it’s so fucking stupid and tiresome.

        “Both sides are bad, so I refuse to vote for either”

        “Democrats need to earn my vote”

        "Well, yeah, Trump is definitely bad. I don’t want Trump. But I demand a pony and a blowjob. If the Democrats want my vote, they’re going to have to do more than just stop Trump from killing all the ponies. "

            There are factions among the oligarchs. Or are you saying both sides are exactly the same?

              Unfortunately there will be no more Palestine and democrats will refuse to learn.

              They got paid. Their one policy is still being implemented.

          There are degrees of genocide, as you can see very plainly by just reading the news.

      You should be calling return2ozma and TokenBoomer too. The ‘I’m not voting for Trump’s opponent, but I’m gonna complain about the consequences’, crowd.
