They did manage to replace most of them with local analogues though. I wish it was the same in the Middle East, instead US and western brands are over represented. I don’t necessarily want it to be imposed on us, Russia was forcefully cut off, but I would appreciate if Western brands were less dominant and I do encourage boycotting them.

Open for exploits and surveillance

Harris hasn’t come out in disagreement with Biden’s policy over the last year.

Who does Blinken work for?

This comment being remove I didn’t expect… I guess the NYT is misinformation now, or people would rather not know “why is this race so close”?

I thought his goal was peace in Palestine not apartheid, and definitely not genocide.

As far as I know, economy seats are still sold at a loss. They make up for it in the higher classes. I don’t fly through Doha often but when I do, I do like getting on Qatar Airways.

I’m simply stating the facts as they are, it is not my fault that the Democratic Party lost Arab and Muslim American voters.

but I am absolutely willing to put off Palestine

How would this argument win over Arab and Muslim Americans? You are basically saying: “I don’t care if you get genocided but you have to care about me”. On the upside as the polls show, Trump is even more unpopular than Biden so you can’t blame us if Trump wins, blame those who voted for him.

so I dont get shot

Arab and Muslim Americans are already getting shot. My personal recommendation is start exercising your 2nd amendment rights:

so you dont get deported

So be it but only if Darrell Issa is deported first

Biden perhaps shouldn’t have enabled a genocide, just saying.

Also the correct term is Arab Americans

How Arab American voters’ backlash could imperil Biden’s 2024 campaign

In Michigan, for example, Biden won in 2020 by 154,000 votes. Census estimates put the state’s Arab American population around at least 278,000.

Biden won Arizona by 10,500 votes. The Arab American population in the Grand Canyon State is estimated to be 60,000.

Biden took Georgia by 11,800 votes. The Arab American population there is at least 57,000.

Inside Biden’s Broken Relationship With Muslim and Arab American Leaders

‘The man broke my heart’: Biden’s Arab-American boosters begin to leave his side

The fact that liberals would rather strawperson Arab and Muslim Americans and anyone else repulsed by the genocide than acknowledge the reality and try to stop it is hard to understand beyond it being based in racism and chauvinism. What group of people would vote for the person enabling their own genocide?

Edit: While Marxist-Leninists, i.e. Tankies, do exist in the US they never constituted a significant voting bloc that can sway elections, they always opposed the Democratic Party even before the genocide. Minorities such as Arab Americans -mostly Christian- and Muslim Americans do constitute a significant voting bloc that can sway elections and they used to be a consistent voter base for the Democratic Party in past elections.

An overlooked and undercounted group of Arab American and Muslim voters may have outsized impact on 2024 presidential election

In Michigan, Muslim and Arab American Voters Reconsider Support for Biden

The dismissive racism and genocide apologia by liberals is going to cost you Arab and Muslim Americans for more than one election cycle. I wish you had some self awareness and empathy to realize it.

Final Note: This is not meant to elicit debate and I don’t need an explanation on how elections work in the US or why the US will support Israel no matter what it does regardless of who is president. I am just sharing another side of the story that seem to be purposefully ignored.

I cited agreeable news source and articles and yet this comment is getting downvoted. I guess liberals would rather invent a strawperson they can easily take down than acknowledge they are losing among minorities in swing states.

Just look at the number of voters considering third party candidates:

Exclusive poll: Black voters aren’t thrilled with Biden but dislike Trump more

No one minds you voting for Biden believe it or not. We do mind being demonized and straw-personed for not voting for him.

Have you seen this? the equivalent of 14,000 USD new and the bed is as big as many full size pickups.

It depends on the piercing type

An economic system and religion I can get behind

The US is a funny country. It does not behave like a highly advanced and highly literate society.
