I know I'm going against the grain here, I'm obviously no Harris lover, but also I'd prefer to be allowed to continue existing. If that's controversial in leftist spaces then maybe I don't want to spend any more time in leftist spaces.

Who is voting Republican down-ballot over Gaza for this take to function?

[-] KammicRelief@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

I think it's more the third party voters (which effectively are Republican voters, by taking away Dem votes). And abstainers, which, ditto.

this was proven to be a straw man since the report than jill stein siphons away more trump voters than kamala voters.

[-] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

As someone who supports third party, there was no chance of me voting for Kamala this election so you can stop with the made-up arguments

[-] Objection@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago

Are you saying that 2/3 of the country vote Republican? In that case, how is it possible for the Democrats to ever win?

Can you explain in detail how my California 3rd party vote will help Trump?

[-] ToastedPlanet 2 points 3 weeks ago

The Republican strategy is to contest the election in every state, county, and polling place. We need high voter turnout to prevent contested elections all over the country. No matter where people live, even California, our votes matter.

So you think trump will spend money trying to to flip my district that went 78% for Biden in my state that went 63.5% for Biden so I cannot exercise my constitutionally protected right to do anything but support a corpo prosecutor.

down-ballot

Are these residents of Dearborn also calling for voting out Rashida Tlaib or going for Rogers over Slotkin on the issue?

Or is it just the presidential race? The article doesn't even mention any of them.

The Arab American Institute poll also found that, by a slight majority (46% to 43%), Arab American voters say they would prefer to see Republicans control the next Congress beginning in January.

Ah thanks.

James Zogby, co-founder of the Arab American Institute, said the latest polling numbers reflect the reality that a significant population of Arab Americans vote Republican.

Well, maybe the votes weren't there to begin with, but I haven't seen a campaign against Rashida Tlaib, so I'll be surprised if she does in fact lose.

but also I’d prefer to be allowed to continue existing

project 2025 is propaganda for kamala supporters and the anti-trans laws are propaganda for tump supporters.

project 2025 was created in 1980 and our government has already enacted 75% or so percent of it before trump ever made it to office. we thrived during those decades enough to shift popular support in our favor thanks to hollywood and we did it without the support of the dnc. (dnc support came after most of the blood, sweat, and tears were already shed and we only picked them because they were slightly better than reagan and bush and we immediately encountered buyers' remorse with clinton).

also: the choice between diet genocide and full-fat genocide is propaganda. mostly because of the virtue signaling around project 2025 and mostly evident from the intense levels of manufactured consent that encourages participating in this system as a democrat or republican only and applies intense levels of peer pressure and misinformation against participating in an other form.

we've both been forced into this dichotomy because republicans and democrats have been taking away our options and weakening our alternatives for decades; things will continue to get worse if we keep cooperating in the way they want us to.
