Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Summary

In Wayne County, Arab American precincts rejected Kamala Harris, with Biden receiving 82% of the vote in 2020 and Harris only 23% in 2024.

Trump’s outreach to Arab American and Muslim communities, including visits to Dearborn and Hamtramck, contributed to his increased support.

Harris’s performance in Dearborn, where she received only 13% of the vote in the south end, reflects the backlash against Biden’s handling of foreign policy in the Middle East.

I'll be watching how this bold strategy plays out in Gaza.

Oh, this is a shocking turn of events.

To clarify, this is not a new quote. However, this is the new Ambassador to Israel, I'm given to understand.

Shit, theyre gonna start bombing gaza and murdering women and children when Trumps inaugurated

We are at genocide. Now. Someone else tried coming up with the term 'super genocide' because whatever democrats are responsible for cant be that bad, trump has to be worse. And since we're already at genocide, it has to be worse than genocide. Like we are currently at excusable genocide, doesnt count genocide, only technically genocide. Itll only be a crime against humanity once Trump is bombing women and children. I cant wait to see the headlines of hospitals getting hit with US missiles and people like you going "see? Its worse!"

[–] MagicShel@lemmy.zip -1 points 1 week ago

Oh it'll get worse. Let's watch. Can't do anything else at this point.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

But that would make Trump a war criminal, and the US public would not stand for that, no sir they wont! They would rise up and march in the streets until that genocide stopped!

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The West Bank. That's where they're going to start. As announced. Because of Trump winning.

[–] blazera@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Start? You aint been payin attention, theyve been actively occupying there long before the gaza invasion.

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

They've been occupying it of course, but they haven't started carpet bombing it yet like they're doing to Gaza.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world -5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

There is no higher level of Genocide. The worst is already happening. Get the fuck out with this bad faith take.

[–] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So naive. Let's see what happens.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ah yes, I must be naive. It can't be that you're wrong about the already existing levels of death.

[–] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 week ago

Pretty sure it'll get worse, but let's see. Maybe Israel has achieved maximum misery from which things literally can't get worse. I'm betting not, but we'll see.

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There's genociding the West Bank as well as Gaza, as currently suggested now that Trump has won. You might not see a difference between 40% and 100%, but your joint winners Netanyahu and Trump do. You sure showed Harris there.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You think they weren't fucking up the West Bank already? You haven't been paying attention.

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You can't even bring yourself to admit that the announcement of extending the kind of carpet bombing we've seen in Gaza to the West Bank is a bad thing.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Of course that would be a bad thing. Are we really at the point where we have to declare that bad things are bad things? But the Biden administration would have greenlit it too as long as Bibi said there was Hamas there.

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago

Yes, sorry, you're right, every piece of bad news about Trump is actually about Harris. My mistake.
