Alas! A lot of full movies on dailymotion have been deleted… Including this one…
They didn’t lose the election for Harris.
Right… I don’t think there are enough Arab- and Muslim-Americans in PA to swing it, and she needed that to win the election, even if she had won MI. I suspect it was her failed messaging on the economy that made the difference. But we don’t have final numbers yet so it’s hard to tell.
The article is a lot more nuanced than the headline. Arab- and Muslim-Americans knew that neither candidate cared about them, and the article explains various ways that affected their thinking.
Just watched this movie; it’s solid. Willie Nelson and Jim Belushi co-star! Not familiar with Tangerine Dream, but their soundtrack is far out, gives the movie a Blade Runner feel. (though Blade Runner came afterwards…)
Unpopular opinion: Kamala was a solid candidate.
Biden was headed to a humiliating defeat. Another couple debates, and maybe he loses NY and CA and we have a Dukakis- or Mondale-level annhilation. Kamala stepped in and ran a solid campaign on very short notice. Trump didn’t even have time to come up with a good nickname for her! She kicked his ass in their only debate, and he was literally too scared to do it again.
In the end, she lost by a couple hundred thousand votes in 3 states. She was wrong about Gaza and the economy, but PA, MI, and WI are credibly winnable in future elections. Kamala was not a garbage candidate.
What If: Beavis and Butthead were born in Türkiye.
Hmmm… “A Passage to India” takes place during the Raj (which is when the Crown took over from the East India Company) but a lot of the attitudes and issues are the same

Similarly, “Conduct Unbecoming” takes place right after the Crown takeover. But hey, it’s free on youtube:
