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?

[-] ToastedPlanet 9 points 5 months ago

The electoral college favors low population states. Republicans historically do well in low population states. In order to correct for this overrepresentation, Democrats need high voter turnout. So not voting or or voting third party depresses that high voter turnout Democrats need to win. This is why tankies and accelerationists spend so much time falsely conflating Kamala and Trump. They know they need to discourage as many people from voting for Kamala as possible to get Trump elected. So Vote!

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.
