    I'm still befuddled how Harris can lose the Israeli and the Palestinian vote at the same time.
    Practical knowledge seems to dictate that one side at least be in her corner.
    Is this bad messaging.

    I can see Israelis' voting for Trump but not Palestinians'.
    Trump was all about closing borders to Middle easterners not that long ago.
    I think we are living in bizarro world.

    You have summed up this election in four sentences.

    "Lost" is really about expectations. Some groups aren't voting in traditional blocs anymore so a 20% "defection" seems yuge.

    To the greater point, the ME has always been a quagmire. Our fingerprints are all over there so it's only bound to spread here as demographics change and grow older.

    With the Jewish vote, I think it's more about feeling abandoned by the far left (college protestors) and knowing Trump would enable Israel far more than w/e Biden is doing now, which is their right as voters.

    I don't know enough to guess what Palestinians are thinking in the long term...

    First, we don't actually know how many Muslims are not going to vote for Harris - same for black people. Likewise, we don't really know how many conservative women will vote for Harris. In the past there were polls that showed GWB would get a big decent chunk of black voters and it did not happen. Doesn't mean it won't - but until it happens we don't actually know.

    Religious Muslims naturally would support the modern conservative Republican party in 2024 - Republicans are not as social liberal, they are more oppressive to homosexuals, women etc. The only reason that religious Muslims would support Democrats is if they believe that Republicans will be oppressive to them - but the reality is that the Biden/Harris administration has largely let Israel do what it wants and has defended Israel when they have been attacked.

    We will see what happens - I suspect some Jews and Muslims will leave Harris, but not as many as right wing media claims. Likewise - I think that a lot of white women are going to still vote for Trump.

    thus, 4 days before election day, this instagram post by KingJames targeting those who are not sure that they'e gonna to show up to vote



    Mr. James also posted a video that spliced together civil rights protests and abuses from several decades with comments by Mr. Trump and footage from the former president’s recent rally at Madison Square Garden.
    The video made the argument that Mr. Trump is racist and ended with the written quote: “Hate takes us back.”​

    you've proven wrong again


    The POTUS race, nationally, is neck and neck, with significant gender gap


    The poll finds Harris with her biggest advantages over Trump among
    • Black voters (87%-9%),
      • a larger margin than Biden in 2020
    • younger voters under 30 years old (57%-41%) and
    • white voters with college degrees (55%-43%).


    In conservative / GOP-friendly Iowa. https://www.forbes.com/sites/sarado...s-winning-iowa-could-spell-trouble-for-trump/
    • Harris has leapfrogged Trump, ahead 47 to 44
    • among all independent voters, she leads 46%-39%
      • Harris leads by 28% among independent women voters
    • Harris leads women over the age of 65, 63%-28%, and
      • men in that age bracket 47%-45%

    You're exactly right. They don't like her period. Not "They don't like her, period." Luckily in her 60s she has been through menopause and no longer has a period.

    As someone who spent a decade in Omaha (love that town) I can tell you Iowa is a white man`s conservative heaven and IF true that would make trump`s head explode. If Harris takes Iowa, which I doubt will happen, the gop should seriously look at what they're pushing out to America..........Iowa should be a gop slam-dunk like Florida. I will be watching Iowa tomorrow night very closely, it could be a sign of things to come
