Vice President Kamala Harris has secured the endorsement of one of the nation’s largest Muslim American voter mobilization groups, marking a significant boost to her campaign since many Muslim and Arab American organizations have opted to support third-party candidates or not endorse.
Emgage Action, the political arm of an 18-year-old Muslim American advocacy group, endorsed Harris’ presidential campaign on Wednesday, saying in a statement provided first to The Associated Press that the group “recognizes the responsibility to defeat” Donald Trump in November.
The group, based in Washington D.C., operates in eight states, with a significant presence in the key battlegrounds of Michigan and Pennsylvania. The organization will now focus its ongoing voter-outreach efforts on supporting Harris, in addition to down-ballot candidates.
Horrid title, but yeah.
Trump’s view is roughly summarized as ‘kill as many Muslims as possible and let god sort it out’.
I’d vote for anything better than that
See everything is fine
really it only makes sense.
the obvious glaring problem with all of these people who say they support the plight of the gazan people was that if they actually cared for and listened to what the gazan people were telling anyone who would actually listen to them, when it came to who the next american president should be they overwhelmingly said kamala harris.
these online activists were in effect doing the exact same thing that trump was doing with the border. they didn’t care or cared very little about gazans other than using them as a tool to try to affect the kind of political revolution they jerk off to every night destroying the “corrupt duopoly” as their only real political goal.
it’s good that a leading muslim organization a) listened to what gazans were saying b) considered all consequences of electing either candidate, not just the consequences regarfing gaza and c) knows that there is no such thing as a perfect political party or candidate and that demanding purity on an issue important to them is much likely to get them less influence.
hopefully this news shuts these people up for the next few weeks.
they didn’t care or cared very little about gazans other than using them as a tool…
Which is very fitting, as everyone seems to be doing that. “No you cannot come into our country and integrate and forget it ever happened, because that means Israël won. You need to stay in your predicament to make a point”.
I’m curious to hear what the “withholding my vote because palestine” idiots have to say about this.
Edit: give me those sweet, sweet downvotes you butthurt idiots. I shall wear them like a badge of honor.
Most of them were going to vote Kamala if nothing changed anyways. This is the equivalent of a group of workers going on strike. They are doing it to improve the company and their own lives, but they were always intending on returning to work.
Pinning the democrats to a wall so to speak about Israel is smart, its caused a ton more attention and discussion, and rightfully so as many americans had no idea what the relationship between America, Israel, and Palestine was really like.
And now everyone can calm down as the largest group has ended its strike and returned to work (vote). Its not stupid to use what little power you might have to try to advocate for change.
my guess: they’ll ignore it, just like they ignore what the gazan and west bank people say who they want as president.
it’s not about genocide or gaza for them.
it was never about genocide or gaza for them. just look at them scramble when you point out how their champion said nothing about what happened in ukraine and syria and those genocides (relevant since their champion was a known supporter of putin and assad).
it was only about disrupting the “corrupt duopoly” and having the ability to smugly declare their purity in not compromising their values on the ballot, the consequences of that vote which would affect all of us be damned.
Simple, which candidate is more likely to stop the Israelis in the middle east? Trump or Harris?
Neither. There has been no progress made. Biden keeps drawing lines and saying if they cross it blah blah blah, and then nothing over and over.
People should be upset the current administration is shielding Israel, its absurd. Its not the voters fault the government got caught with its pants down before a presidential election.
I want trump to lose as much as the next person but I’m not voting for the loser. Taking any criticism of the current government or democrats in general as helping the republicans is ridiculous.
