this, plus her border policy, ensures I will still be voting for the PSL this election.

Conservatives are more successful in pushing Democrats right than progressives are at pushing the Democrats left. Wherever the Republican party is on an issue, is where Democrats will be 10 years from now.

Harris is also in favor of KOSA among other bad things.

Do you think the Palestine policy would change under Trump? Because that would be incredibly naive.

Who is currently president and supporting the genocide unconditionally?

No one is stopping you from voting for Harris, you are pro-genocide so knock yourself out. But you can't expect people who are opposed to genocide to vote for the genocider. It is not just Biden, it is the entire Democratic Party that is the problem. Harris on numerous occasions defended the genocide, and if she picks Shapiro that's someone who demonized the anti-genocide protestors and criminalized boycotts of Israel.

I am not counting on you. You are a lost cause. I am hoping and counting on Arabs and Muslims to not bend the knee and vote for the genocider whether Harris or Trump. The polls suggests they won't.

and I have reason to be optimistic despite our small numbers

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.

Biden is out but most of us are wise enough to know Harris is the same if not worse on Palestine.

But advocates should not place hope there. Harris was an AIPAC darling during her brief stint in the Senate. She’s not likely to change if she becomes president.

it's so hard to figure kamala out because of this and ruining so many people's live for weed; but at the same time her statements to end the genocide give me hope.

i think i'll vote for her once i see her end the genocide; not before it.

You’re calling the rabid dogs with that last sentence. Need you be reminded that Trump will kill slightly more than Biden already has, so you HAVE to vote for the democrat or else you’re a hypocrite.

Remember: America is a DEMOCRACY
