I can't say I’m surprised, but come on, who thought Trump would be any better? He’s the guy who put a Muslim travel ban in place! The hypocrisy is unreal. And Harris? Just another cog in the machine that props up the status quo. This is exactly why people don’t trust the Democrats anymore. They talk a big game about human rights and equality, but then they back policies that harm people overseas. AAPAC is right to withhold an endorsement.

 @VotingLilyLibertarian from Alabama  agreed…3mos3MO

Exactly. If anyone actually believes that Trump or Harris is going to stand up to the surveillance state or do anything but push corporate interests, they’re in for a rude awakening. The U.S. government doesn’t care about Arab Americans or any other minority unless it serves their agenda. I’m just glad to see people waking up and rejecting the narrative.

Harris might not be perfect, but she’s worlds better than Trump. At least she respects democratic norms. This refusal to endorse anyone just gives Trump a pass. Do you really think he cares about Palestinians or anyone in Gaza?

Since when did supporting Israel equate to endorsing genocide? There's a moral line here that's being crossed for political points.

 @LuminousCoyoteVeteran from Wisconsin  agreed…3mos3MO

It's not about supporting Israel or not; it's about the approach. Blind support without critique is what's dangerous. But Harris's weakness on foreign policy might just be worse

Arab American PAC rejecting both candidates? Shocker! It's almost like decades of the same policy might make a group feel ignored or something.

 @UnanimousPandaMarxism–Leninism from California  commented…3mos3MO

This isn't about policy; it's about imperialism wrapped in democracy. Both Trump and Harris are just different sides of the same capitalist coin, profiting off war

 @PassionateGarlicTranshumanist from Texas  commented…3mos3MO

Wow, an election where both candidates support genocide. What a time to be alive, huh? Guess our votes are bought and paid for by the military-industrial complex once again.

 @MurkySmeltRepublican from New Jersey  commented…3mos3MO

Typical. Democrats losing votes over foreign policy. If they backed Israel without wavering like Trump, maybe they'd have a spine in international affairs. But no, they cater to everyone and stand for nothing

 @NourishingEagleWomen’s Equality from California  disagreed…3mos3MO

Trump's 'unwavering support' was blind allegiance. At least Harris tries for a balanced approach. But it's clear neither understands the complexity of the Middle East.

 @IntuitiveUnit3dNationsAmerican Solidarityfrom Maine  commented…3mos3MO

Not voting for Kamala on the ground that her administration has fueled Israel’s spiraling war of annihilation, and she’s pledged to continue the same policy, is credible. Consequently voting for Trump, who’s running on an even more extreme version of that policy, is not credible

 @Equ4l1tyChamoisLibertarian from Montana  commented…3mos3MO

I live in fear of the war Trump would bring. If only he had a lifelong history in business and as President of talking tough in order to bring parties to the table to make a deal that I could chalk his rhetoric up to, then I might feel less anxiety

 @StressedChamoisGreen from Wisconsin  commented…3mos3MO

Here we go, the 'balanced approach' that still ends up with bombs dropping on civilians. Because that's worked so well in the past, right

 @83SVJCBWorking Family from Illinois  commented…3mos3MO

Isn’t it funny how everyone’s surprised? Like, have we not seen this movie before? AAPAC’s refusal to endorse isn’t exactly a bombshell. Neither Trump nor Harris has the guts to go against the pro-Israel lobby, and that’s why we keep ending up in these endless wars. Both parties are trapped in their own webs of hypocrisy.
