Because Trump who literally said Muslims should wear a "Special ID at all times" back in 2015 is obviously gonna be much better....

Read the article. Maybe half or more are voting third party, they hate trump and kamala.

The other, from one of the interviews, the last four years of Democrat led politics has literally been the worst in their lives for both themselves living in america, and for their friends and families who live in the middle east.

Assuming a democrat leader is best for everyone is part of the problem. There are groups of people who suffer under Democrat leadership, and ignoring them is just frustrating them.

Were they not alive from 2001 to 2008?

I was and I voted for Kerry in 2004 because of it. It is much worse now though!

With all they've been through, at least they have you to tell them how to feel and vote, and which traumas are worse than others.

Careful, you might cut yourself on that edge.

Politics is all edges since our government got completely taken over by bribes from war criminals, so we're all walking around with some small cuts lately.

And they should know that the Electoral College means that this only helps Trump, who in 2015 wanted Muslims in America to wear "Special IDs"

[–] PanArab@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Biden/Harris aren't even giving them the chance to wear the special IDs, they wiped out Gaza and took out a few churches and Christians in the process too

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Trump meant that for Muslims living in America.

Additionally, Trump has talked about wanting to use nuclear weapons in Gaza multiple times. So I don't know why you think he's "better" for the region

[–] PanArab@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No one said he is better but neither are Democrats, both are equally awful for the region.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Some have falsely claimed he wants a ceasefire, while he has talked about "ending the problem quickly", he has clarified he means by blowing Palestine straight to Hell by throwing everything America's got at it.

Which is what’s happening already under Biden.
