    My point is, most people don’t actually care about Palestine enough to sway their votes. Same with most genocides. People don’t like them but think other issues are more important. People care about issues that affect them directly. If they’re not voting, it means they don’t think a decision will affect them (rightly or wrongly).

    Conservative Muslims (not Arabs, they’re different) mention Palestine as a distraction. They were always going to vote Republican because they are conservative and have conservative values.

      Yes they do, and the votes speak for themselves. How is anything more important then genocide? Your comment is racist and disgusting.

      8.6% of Biden voters didn’t show up for Kamala. That’s hardly “most”… In fact it seems like a pretty reasonable percent of the left who might actually care more about the morality of their vote than any other concern. Those are the people we’re talking about.

      [Demographic] is always going to ____ because they are ___ and have ___ values.

      So, fill in the blanks with the most abhorent shit you can garner, I’ve got to listen to some nice vitriol myself. You see why generalization, is very much a slippery slope?

      If you ever care to be a voice of reason and possibly convince people to vote in their own best interest despite being inundated with propaganda against so, then you will learn something from this.
