    This infographic looks super sus. How is Jill Stein leading in anything? Also, why isn’t LP candidate Chase Oliver on the list? Is there a link to the polling methodology? The result is surprising enough that I really can’t take it at face value.

        1. Trump as you can clearly see is very unpopular among Arab Americans.
        2. Arab Americans are citizens, majority Christian and practically indistinguishable, here are a two American celebrities you might not have known were Arabs: Callie Khouri, and Tony Shalhoub.

      Some do believe in lesser-evilism and are holding on to it, others simply don’t care except about themselves. This drop remains one of the largest in a very short period. Biden and the Democratic Party had around 59% approval among Arab Americans before October 2023. I don’t have conclusive data but I know that it was higher than among the general population at any period, now it is in the single digits.

      Biden is shedding leftist and POC votes, not because Trump is better somehow, but because Biden cannot meet the mimimum level required for support. That’s how bad Biden has fumbled the ball.

      Trump is not gaining votes if Biden loses votes. For starters, non-voters outnumber any other voting block to begin with, America doesn’t have compulsory voting. Therefore, vibes absolutely sway elections, and failing to earn votes means you will lose them.

      Finally, if you genuinely believe Trump will gas Arab-Americans and your only plan of resistance is to merely vote for Biden, then you don’t actually care. If you do believe Arab-Americans are in danger under a possible Trump regime, then you should be organizing and protesting outside the standard electoral process to ensure that doesn’t happen, and protect them on the ground.
