Biden perhaps shouldn't have enabled a genocide, just saying.

Also the correct term is Arab Americans

How Arab American voters' backlash could imperil Biden's 2024 campaign

In Michigan, for example, Biden won in 2020 by 154,000 votes. Census estimates put the state's Arab American population around at least 278,000.

Biden won Arizona by 10,500 votes. The Arab American population in the Grand Canyon State is estimated to be 60,000.

Biden took Georgia by 11,800 votes. The Arab American population there is at least 57,000.

Inside Biden’s Broken Relationship With Muslim and Arab American Leaders

Biden losing Arab-American voters in swing state

‘The man broke my heart’: Biden’s Arab-American boosters begin to leave his side

The fact that liberals would rather strawperson Arab and Muslim Americans and anyone else repulsed by the genocide than acknowledge the reality and try to stop it is hard to understand beyond it being based in racism and chauvinism. What group of people would vote for the person enabling their own genocide?

Edit: While Marxist-Leninists, i.e. Tankies, do exist in the US they never constituted a significant voting bloc that can sway elections, they always opposed the Democratic Party even before the genocide. Minorities such as Arab Americans -mostly Christian- and Muslim Americans do constitute a significant voting bloc that can sway elections and they used to be a consistent voter base for the Democratic Party in past elections.

An overlooked and undercounted group of Arab American and Muslim voters may have outsized impact on 2024 presidential election

In Michigan, Muslim and Arab American Voters Reconsider Support for Biden

The dismissive racism and genocide apologia by liberals is going to cost you Arab and Muslim Americans for more than one election cycle. I wish you had some self awareness and empathy to realize it.

Final Note: This is not meant to elicit debate and I don't need an explanation on how elections work in the US or why the US will support Israel no matter what it does regardless of who is president. I am just sharing another side of the story that seem to be purposefully ignored.

I cited agreeable news source and articles and yet this comment is getting downvoted. I guess liberals would rather invent a strawperson they can easily take down than acknowledge they are losing among minorities in swing states.

Just look at the number of voters considering third party candidates:

Exclusive poll: Black voters aren't thrilled with Biden but dislike Trump more

Look, Im trans. If he loses, Im the one getting genocided. Its perhaps a mirthless disposition, but I am absolutely willing to put off Palestine so I dont get shot, and probably so you dont get deported tol btw

I'm simply stating the facts as they are, it is not my fault that the Democratic Party lost Arab and Muslim American voters.

but I am absolutely willing to put off Palestine

How would this argument win over Arab and Muslim Americans? You are basically saying: "I don't care if you get genocided but you have to care about me". On the upside as the polls show, Trump is even more unpopular than Biden so you can't blame us if Trump wins, blame those who voted for him.

so I dont get shot

Arab and Muslim Americans are already getting shot. My personal recommendation is start exercising your 2nd amendment rights:

so you dont get deported

So be it but only if Darrell Issa is deported first

Let me change around your words and then shame you for the new position I created for you. Oh, and don't bother debating me, I'm only interested in the sound of my own voice
