Summary

In Wayne County, Arab American precincts rejected Kamala Harris, with Biden receiving 82% of the vote in 2020 and Harris only 23% in 2024.

Trump’s outreach to Arab American and Muslim communities, including visits to Dearborn and Hamtramck, contributed to his increased support.

Harris’s performance in Dearborn, where she received only 13% of the vote in the south end, reflects the backlash against Biden’s handling of foreign policy in the Middle East.

      Imagine saying this about German Jewish folk in the Holocaust. You just gave up all pretense of advocating the moment they didn’t support your party.

          LOTS of poeple, including Arab Americans felt that their interests werent represented by either party. So they voted against the system in general.

              You act like the party didnt lose in pretty much every measurable demographic, and every level of government. Nothing to learn from any of that loss you think.

              …Obviously, we’ll be sure to put you centrists back in charge as fast as we can.

                You’re more than welcome to campaign locally for change. You’ve already made certain that federal change is impossible 🤷‍♂️ good luck over the next 4(+?) years

                  I dont need your "more than welcome ", thanks.

                  And Harris/Biden ran an out of touch and clownishly far rightwing genocidal campaign, not me. Not knowing she’d lose by 10 million votes and in every swing state and almost every single demographic when she blew a billion dollars of dem money on consulting fees really shows you that no one there has any idea what they are doing.

                  They appear to have lied to themeslves as much as to all of us. So take your good luck and fold it till its all sharp corners, smug centrist. You lot led us to a loss but you’re so keen to blame everyone but yourself. Look in the mirror.

                  Progressives told her exactly how to win and practically begged her to do it.

                    Yeah, that’s great. Good job voting for genocide. Good job voting for racism. Good job voting for sexism.

                    I don’t care that feel better about ruining everyone’s lives. I care about outcomes, and you helped get Trump elected. Good luck with your stupid metaphors and bullshit virtue signaling.

      So minorities only deserve rights when they agree with you, even as you advocate for their death?

      What makes you different from Trump supporters again? Is it really just the colour of the tie?
