I was told to grow up the other day for simply pointing out why Muslim/Arab voters may be struggling internally with voting for Harris. Just, y’know, applying empathy and putting myself into someone’s shoes who has way more involved in that than I do.
When I pointed out that this is why Democrats lose voters (they’re condescending and dismissive to their own party because their issues/concerns aren’t “convenient” right now) I’m screamed at for supporting Trump and how much worse it would be.
100,000 voters cast protest votes during the primaries in just Michigan alone over the Palestinian genocide, it’s clearly an important issue to your constituents and they deserve to be treated with respect. Not condescension and insults, as if they can’t possibly comprehend their choices here.
If Trump wins, there is no one to blame but Harris and the Democrats, full stop. If we fall to fascism, which I hope we don’t (I already begrudgingly voted Harris this morning), I will blame no one but the Democrat Party.
They chose to ignore the Muslim/Arab voices protesting this past year, they chose to run on a moderate presidential platform, and they refuse to denounce a genocide, or even do anything about it (Biden is still president, and has continued to do nothing but send Netanyahu whatever he wants).
You all want Muslim/Arab voters to vote for Harris to prevent fascism, well, they wanted you all to take their wants seriously, and Biden/Harris haven’t.
So if they lose, it’s on the Democrat party, not anyone else.
It’s wild that there was this like straight talking past the voters from the Democratic party complaining about Harris having to be “perfect” when most of the people with complaints directly stated what the issue they wanted covered was. Like as if there was some mystery of what the undecided voters wanted while ignoring it.
I will also put full blame on the Democratic Party. There is no one else to blame at this point. You can’t gesture at 40+% of the populace and say somewhere in there a few thousand people could maybe have done things better. It’s like jousting a windmill. They won’t hear the complaints.
It was picked who they wanted to vote for them, if it didn’t work they needed a different strategy or a wider voter base maybe?
I swear people also seemingly forget the protest votes in the primary and say “we should have voiced our concerns then” as if that wasn’t exactly that and what made us get “Biden but as a woman of color”. People have been barely choking down Biden policies since 2020. Ugh. But it’s us that’s wrong right Blitzø?
There is somehow always a moving Boogeyman in here.
And yet it’s everyone else that has to grow up.
