    But his positions on Israel-Palestine, including calling for an end to offensive and defensive military aid from the US, have become the focus of an active campaign to urge Jewish Michiganders to vote for his Republican opponent, Mike Rogers – as well as a counter-effort on El-Sayed’s behalf.

    The ‘gay marriage’, “Harris supports genocide!” accusation in a Jewish flavor because Mike Rogers is an Epstein-beneficiary piece of shit in trouble who’ll try anything.

    But, you gotta figure a solid two-digit percentage of low information voters are gonna fall for that, so it’s worth a try. But it’s still stupid.

    Hell trump won Michigan with help from the Arab-American community, so why not.
    People will apparently believe anything they’re told.

        The ones who voted for trump? Yeah. Actually they put themselves in the same basket . . . uh, case. . . but I did reference it.

        It’s an old story, voting against one’s interests.

            Technically, I said “help from” which could mean some or all, as in “this help is derived from that community”. The context (which btw is a real-life contemporary news article featuring facts, figures and verbs - the works!) is obviously “some” but if one wanted to be offended by a misinterpretation I could see that being a foothold.

    And this is a concern, because?

    If he doesn’t win, it will show you exactly where majority of MI voters are at, especially because he’s able to mobilize progressives to vote.

    They can’t decide whether he’s the ‘good’ kind of Muslim they can advise and enslave, or the ‘bad’ kind that will hold them accountable
