  • The ATL area is carrying the state of Georgia now. That's what has changed over the past three decades. The GOP has a hard time in any state where there's a large dominant urban area. That's not really a new thing.

  • There has been a lot of talk to pressure Democrats on the Arab issue, including during the primaries. At the end of the day, the Democratic agenda is much more friendly toward Palestine than the Republican agenda. Most Arab-Americans are fully aware of that and it will probably show on election day. But they may as well try to get as many concessions as possible before the election by threatening to withhold their vote. Makes sense.

  • if she had taken a position like, "Israel has a right to defend itself, but the bloodshed in Gaza has gone on long enough, and we must acknowledge that the Netanyahu administration has been a major obstacle in ceasefire negotiations," she would have been massively more appealing to Palestinian supporters

    Thing is that she doesn't really have to. She's already massively more attractive to Palestinian supporters than Trump or not voting. That's the problem with a two-party system with only two real choices.

  • Fact is that no matter what position Kamala takes on this, she'll lose votes somewhere and win votes somewhere. Most Jewish people vote for Democrats. Trump just straight up does not care about Palestine. That's a much more simplistic take.

  • It's also the same people who claim that moral integrity is the end-all-be-all in leadership while having no problem supporting a person for the ultimate leadership position whose views on women include "grab'em by the pussy." The moral superiority is pretty much gone.

  • Definitely. There's a difference between evangelical Christians and progressive Christians. Evangelicals consider themselves "born again" and are usually very conservative and staunchly Republican and are usually Trump supporters. Those are the ones mentioned here.

  • While this is true to a certain extent, it's worth remembering that Musk is a naturalized citizen. The Constitution would have to change for him to actually become president. On the other hand, in the US, it seems money can buy anything these days, so, who knows...

  • At the end of the day, none of the parties can afford losing voters on social security. As always, they'll find a fix at the very last minute while spending all the time in the runup blaming each other. Same story every time.
