Harris lost all the swing states last I checked. It wasn't the sole issue that cost her the White House but it was definitely the issue that cost her Michigan, and maybe Pennsylvania.

Democrats switched from Biden to Harris last minute because they realized Biden wasn't doing so well on the popularity front. This should have been a major clue to say that Harris should have steered in her own direction. But she didn't and it cost her the election.

My comment explained why it wasn't just a meme, but rather a stark and real comparison. It was a direct answer to the question.

The fact of the matter is that Biden has emboldened Israel enough where they are actively performing an extermination campaign in Gaza, invading Lebanon and the West Bank, and escalating to a regional war with Iran. All of this could have been stopped with a single phone call from Biden at any point in the past 13 months. This is why a genocide under the Trump administration is seems as more or less the same thing. Because it's happening as we speak, and Biden is doing nothing to stop or slow them down.

It's not that Arabs voted overwhelmingly in favor of Trump, they just refused to vote for Democrats on principle. Turns out arming a nation that is actively engaged with the genocide of Arabs, silencing them when speaking up, and staunchly defending said country is something that turned Arabs off from voting for the Democrats again.

No problem at all, thanks for actually acknowledging it.

And I only really use Lemmy. I occasionally browse Imgur, but thats mainly for memes. I don't use any of the big social media sites, I haven't in over 10 years. I haven't touched Reddit in several years at this point either.

I did not know that .world was made by a Dutch person. Thanks for teaching me something new.

.world seems to have been the default instance people went to when they left reddit. It's more or less than mentality imported into Lemmy. This led to the fact that creating a US specific instance is not necessary. .world fills that niche enough.

.world is more or less an American instance in all but name.

Majority of Arabs were either voting for Trump, 3rd party, or not voting as a "fuck you" to the Democrats. I know some actually liked Trump but keep in mind that the Arabs were a big reason Biden won Michigan in 2020. A lot of Arabs hate Trump.

I'm not American. I'm Canadian actually. I was just answering OPs question though. I wasn't intending to make any bad faith arguments or mislead anyone so I'm sorry if I did that.

Found one what?

It came from Israel's actual actions. They're undergoing an extermination campaign in Northen Gaza, banned UNRWA which is the only reason Palestinians have not died of Starvation, executed the young, old, sick, weak, injured and just about everyone else. They've even just passed a law that would give them legal authority to deport Palestinians that have "terrorist relations", and we all know how even babies are considered to be Hamas by the IDF. And I havent even touched on the daily killings of civilians. We have a list of confirmed kills of over 14,000 babies aged less than 1 year old. This, along with the war on Lebanon and the regional attacks, is all done with the full support and funding of the current administration. Biden/Harris being the same as Trump on this topic is not a meme, it's the horrible truth. And all the Arabs that were kicking and screaming about this for the past 13 months were not only ignored, but also actively silenced by the Democrats.

Harris went too far right in an attempt to court the Republican vote. She preached peace in Gaza but she campaigned with known war-hawk Liz Cheney and staunchly defended Israel. She said she's going to stand up against big businesses and help the environment but she talked about having Republicans in her cabinets and not ban fracking. She campaigned on being tough on the border but expected immigrants to vote for her. She did a lot of stupid shit and no one wanted to pay attention because everyone was scared of criticizing her because of their fear of Trump. They literally ran on a "moderate" platform when campaigning against a far right fascist wanna-be dictator. This should have been a slam dunk victory for them.

Democrats need to get their head of their asses and actually have progressives run. Until then, all they will do is slide more and more to the right and disenfranchise more of their constituents who want their society to progress and not cater to the radicals.

I feel as if "hate towards South Asian people is fueling anti-immigrant politics" would be a more correct headline.

There's actually a lot of unique interactions and dialogue based on things like race and class. You can look then up on YouTube if you don't want to go through a whole new playthrough.
