Not racist. Not uniquely stupid. And not BECAUSE they’re Arab.

Anyone who acts knowingly to assist another Trump presidency is a fucking moron. White, black, Asian, Arab, Hispanic, etc. don’t give a shit.

To be frank, this sounds like an excellent tactic to silence criticism of acts that would support another Trump presidency. It’s even posed as coming from the left which is genius.

I’m coming away from this thinking you actually want him elected.

I don't want either genocidal establishment party elected, but one will be regardless of what I want.

So because Arab-Americans are voting third-party more than other ethnic groups, your answer is that the driving factor is stupidity.

Thinly veiled both sides shit. ^

Third party votes fall squarely into knowingly assisting a Trump win. And it’s really stupid.

What's your explanation, again, for Arab-Americans abandoning Harris at significantly higher rates?
