These are questions only the Democratic party can answer, and the fact that they didn't answer them in their statement is very telling. It's very clear they do not want any Arab party members to speak up and are actively silencing them.

Would you agree that inviting a prominent Muslim and then kicking them out has only downsides for the campaign?

I mean, yes? That's kind of why we're having this conversation.

And Harris and her team did respond this incident. It's in the article. They did acknowledge that it was wrong and he was welcome back. But like I said above, her team has a habit of silencing Arab-Americans, and actions speak louder than words.

These things don't just happen and get decided from anyone in a political party and rhey singled him out so they knew his face. This definitely came from someone with a senior position in the party. There's no doubt about that. On top of that there seems to be a consistent trend of Harris and the Democratic party silencing Arab-Americans from speaking up, I wouldn't just naturally assume this was some kind of accident.

This article does not seem a bad faith argument though. This person is a registered Democrat, ran for a Democratic seat, canvassed for Democrats, was invited to a Democratic event. He didn't say, do, or even wear anything. Nonetheless he was singled out and threatened to leave with no explanation.

You seem to have a bit of an optimistic view on Harris position on Israel IMO. I won't begrudge you of that, you're free to think that way. But actions like the one this article reported doesn't do this opinion any favors.

Cops play find the black kid all the time though. Doesn't usually end well for the black kid, but still.

I honestly would not be surprised in the slightest.

Did these lands just happen to get acquired by a company recently by any chance?

They're already moving right. I don't think a lot of Americans fully understand how radicalized their politics have become over the past 20 years or so. Even your most radical leftists, like Bernie, is pretty moderate when compared to politicians in other developed democratic countries. Harris isn't very progressive to begin with, she's just infinitely better than Trump which makes her look like the best candidate in history.
