    When you are faced with high numbers of marginalized people refusing to vote for candidates contributing to the genocide of friends, relatives, and people of a similar heritage, and your response is that they are “stupid,” rather than trying to understand why they are acting in that manner, you assert yourself as more “enlightened,” and the marginalized people as uniquely stupid. That is why it is racist.

      It’s like you didn’t even read what I wrote.

      It’s NOT uniquely stupid. Dummies vote against their interests all the time (see comment about white Christians).

      And it doesn’t take any special enlightenment to acknowledge how FPTP voting works. In fact, it’s so simple, you’d have to be pretty stupid to be unaware.

      But keep ruining that word to the point of meaninglessness.

        I read every word of what you wrote.

        Arab-Americans are refusing to vote for genocide at much, much higher rates than other ethnicities. My answer is what they have been saying themselves: they can’t vote for continued genocide of their friends, family, and people of a similar background. Your answer is that it’s because Arab-Americans are uniquely stupid among ethnicities in America, which is racist.

            Why aren’t White Christians abandoning Harris, but Arab-Americans are? Your answer thus far had been that Arab-Americans are stupid.

                What are you not getting? You are refusing to analyze why voters are moving in different directions along ethnic lines and blaming it on ethnicities being more stupid.

                Why is it that Arab-Americans are abandoning Harris but other ethnicitis are not at the same rate? Your answer has been “stupidity,” which is obviously racist.

                  If the answer to people being hurt internationally is to make moves not to stop that but to continue it AND add damage domestically, that’s fucking stupid.

                  Anyone not voting Harris is fucking stupid. Don’t care what color, sex, nationality, cool aid color you are.

                  My calling non-Harris voters stupid has absolutely nothing - ZERO - to do with race.
