  • China made the right move here. If you think the IMF is right show me homeownership rates in countries that did as the IMF suggested.

    There are people who took out loans to buy pre-construction apartments with plans to live there, who are now in trouble.

    mostly foreign speculators, what's wrong with having them lose money?

    you do know that homelessness and lack of affordability in many Western countries has nothing to do with the supply or demand? there are more empty homes than there are homeless people

  • if they bought the houses to live and not speculate, it doesn't matter

  • They just hate women and more so if they aren't white women.

  • It is true but the margins in the swing states are narrow enough for it to make a difference:

    • In Michigan, for example, Biden won in 2020 by 154,000 votes. Census estimates put the state's Arab American population around at least 278,000.
    • Biden won Arizona by 10,500 votes. The Arab American population in the Grand Canyon State is estimated to be 60,000.
    • Biden took Georgia by 11,800 votes. The Arab American population there is at least 57,000.

  • One-third isn't much and losing territory isn't palatable. There needs to be something better than a forever war, and also better than losing territory. Russia needs guarantees that NATO troops won't be in Ukraine posing a risk, and Ukraine needs guarantees that Russia won't expand on its expense. All of that should also consider the self-determination rights of the Russian minority living in Ukraine as well.

    It is not easy, and has gotten harder to resolve.

  • Not voting for Trump. Chill, voting isn’t the radical act you think it is. It is certainly not worth breaking any laws for.

  • Sorry, not voting for your genocider-of-choice. She can still win over other Arabs and Muslims IF she chooses her VP wisely. She lost me a long time ago.

  • Voting 3rd party nets you 3 votes apparently:

    1. A vote for Trump because you didn't vote for Harris
    2. A vote for Harris because you didn't vote for Trump
    3. A vote for the 3rd party candidate you voted for
  • In another timeline they could have been Apple's supplier for the iPhone and iPad given their close relationship at the time.

  • The Democratic Pary prefers the worst possible candidate they can get away with. Someone just marginally better than the Republican option.

  • They were shortsighted when they sold XScale -their ARM implementation- in 2006.

  • If you saw the images I saw you probably would have developed a whole different perspective. I am not in any way shape or form better than the little girl that got her jaw blown up by a bomb Biden sent Israel. What used to scare me or matter to me has changed significantly.

    Heck if Trump throws me in an internment camp at least I will have the excuse of being in an internment camp for not doing anything about the genocide. And if he drops a bomb on my house even better, one less bomb dropped on Palestine. I will gladly send Trump my home address. It won't be the first time.

  • The Democratic Party ignoring legitimate grievances increases the chance Trump gets in.

    You fear Trump more than we do. Biden is already sending Israel thousands of bombs that have killed over 40,000 people. Over 70% of Gaza is already destroyed. Universities destroyed, hospitals destroyed, water wells and treatment destroyed, polio is epidemic, ... You really can't scare us with Trump being worse. No one is voting for him, but we don't fear him.

    TL;DR: You fear Trump, if you want Arab and Muslim Americans to care like we did in 2020 you have to do much more than Trump will be worse. When we cared and volunteered and donated in 2020 we were rewarded with a genocide.

  • The fact that he is even likely is insulting.

    If Democrats want Arab and Muslim votes maybe they shouldn't even consider someone who volunteers to kill Palestinians and calls them savages as VP?

  • For me personally it is about dignity. I am not voting for someone who as VP -stood silent- cheered on while their boss enabled the worst genocide of our lifetime and whose likely VP pick volunteered to kill Palestinians and called Palestinians savages. Is this not fascism? Or is fascism is only when bad things happen to white people?

    Goes without saying not voting for Trump either.
