I have Arab neighbors but I never talk to them. It’s mostly women and men show up on the weekends. I think they are stashing wives here. Here the flags and banners for gaza and palestine are about equal to election signs. Cars are decorated. My impression is Sterling Heights is mostly Chaldean so they probably don't care about it to the same degree, if at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sterling Heights saw a wave of Arab immigration from Iraq during the war. I haven’t seen a single Palestinian flag. There’s also been Arab immigration into north Warren. I have multiple Arab neighbors. They keep to themselves and don’t talk to anybody. I’ve been looking for signs of political affiliation but they don’t put out signs or flags.

When I predicted that people would line up at the polls at two in the morning for their chance to vote against Trump, I was eight years too early.

I'll leave it to the states to decide for themselves how to do this.... that's their right. But it seems to go against their interests doesn't it? I assume they did this to make sure they get some attention by the candidates. Imagine if TN allocated a vote out of Memphis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romad1 Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Mark Robinson is biblical justice because he represents the sort of dog-ate-my-homework levels of half-assed governing that lead to the public health emergency in 2020. But, because Trump needed to stay out of jail he needed a good...lets see...what would be good for NC candidate, yeah a Black because there are a lot of those in NC. And JD Whatshisname gets him that Peter Thiel money so, yeah.. And RFK jr, has all those Kennedy votes so lets let him run the health agencies whichever it doesn't matter he's the one hung up on vaccines. Who cares, rich people can get all the vaccines they need. The proles will vote for whatever we say... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To many outsiders, arab/muslim votesrs are "arab/muslim". It goes beyond that. You have Lebanese, Syrian, Yemeni, Iraqi, Iranian.... how long have their families been here? Are they sunni/shia, or some other branch? It gets very tribal and I've seen neighbors argue over it. Have to rememeber as well that despite winning by a big margin, Whitmer did worse with these sorts of voters than Biden 2020 did. So much fretting over these voters, and while it isn't totally unimportant, they are around ~1% of registered voters in Michigan and the margins were likely always going to be a little worse regardless of October 7th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtutiger Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 (edited) Devestating ad, but there is beauty is the replicability of the ad... Just sub out two or so clips and replace them focusing on another issue, get some new copy from Deputy Commander Rawls, and put it out.

mtutiger Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 (edited) This is only one poll, but hasn't been the only one to show the gap between the two candidates on the economy and immigration closing. If that continues to narrow or is even close to parity on those issues on November 5th, that's a big deal.

And evidently Nazis got a lot of ideas for racist laws from segregation laws in the US... according to the book Caste. And let's not forget about Operation Paperclip, which brought a lot of Nazi scientists to the US to keep them from going to the USSR.

Yeah, Human civilization was progressed a lot by those scientists when we landed on the Moon. I realize the Peenamunde site was using slave labor to build the V2, but we definitely benefited massively from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.TaterSalad Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 2 hours ago, mtutiger said: I said it was a mistake then and it turns out to still be a mistake now. Striking is a fundamental right and a fundamental tool of the working class to stand up against the ultra wealthy and powerful. Biden and many Democrats union-busted these railroad workers. They should have either been given the contract they demanded or been allowed to strike. It doesn't matter if the entire country has to shutdown, short of EMS and Police service, every union employee deserves the right to strike.
