I read though that Stein actually draws away more Trump supporters. Not sure how that happens, but I suspect that a few disaffected Republicans will vote third party rather than Harris and the rest of her supporters don’t vote at all. Regardless, the polls show a 1% drop for Trump when she’s in the mix.
I hope that's true but it's not what I read this morning. I found the article I read earlier today. It's probably behind a pay wall, so I'll quote some of it.
Nobody ever said that, but it is pretty sad that an increased percentage of minority males would vote for Trump because they think he's macho and/or because they are sexist, when Trump is obviously a hateful racist. Low information voters for sure. It's some of the younger minority men, not the older ones. They have more sense.
Why? Why is it so close? Is it really because of those evil, evil Palestinians refusing to cast a vote for genocide? Or is it because middle class white males almost to a man are loyal to a fascist demagogue? The writer of those articles has incredibly poor aim.
If every single Haitian in the country eligible to do so voted for Trump, that would hand him... let's see... one third of 1% of the vote. Where will the rest of his support come from, I wonder?A friend had a Haitian-American Uber driver the other day who told him that he was voting for Trump because Trump is “a father figure to us.” I think I give up.

No, but if a Palestinian wants to vote for an actual pacifist, I can understand why they might. You find it easy to wag your finger, because you've never watched a family member tortured and then burned to death on international television. For a Palestinian, it's a much closer and more emotional thing, and if losing their vote isn't worth it to you, don't go to war. Grown-ups know that decisions have consequences. Waging genocidal war against a despised racial group is very likely to cost you some votes within that demographic, fucking duh. What incredibly obvious thing do you need explained to you next, that going swimmming might make you wet? That playing with matches might cause a structural fire? That having sex might mean having to change a diaper later?
So Trump, who has talked about the value of Gaza real estate, and his moron son, who has openly talked about cleaning out the area of the riff-raff (residents) of Gaza and building luxury waterfront condos for the rich or some such, is a better choice for those Palestinians that Harris, who is not even president and has no actual say over Biden’s policy? Right.
And yet, it's so much easier to point fingers at this one taxi driver, who has no social status and whose vote will be erased by the plurality of his neighbors, than at the privileged fucks in affluent suburbs that actually decide each election.Which is entirely not my point, of course.If every single Haitian in the country eligible to do so voted for Trump, that would hand him... let's see... one third of 1% of the vote.

What incredibly obvious thing do you need explained to you next, that Biden did not attack Gaza and Harris is not the president and has no say over his policy anyway? That Trump would be MUCH WORSE for the Palestinians, and would likely let Netanyahu go ahead and starve all two million of its residents, as one top Israeli government official said would be “moral” to do?

You're living in a fantasy land where it is possible to slaughter someone's family in front of them and then mansplain to them why still they "owe" you a vote, and that just is not the planet we live on. Most Palestianian Americans will, in fact, still vote for Biden/Harris. But not all of them will. Of course not all of them will. Imagining that this would ever have not been the case is stupid as hell. And scapegoating them as the cause of Harris' loss instead of asking why more than half of the US States are about to vote for a dictator is just crass. Revictimizing a victim for no other reason than that it is cheap and easy to attack someone who you know can't slap back.What incredibly obvious thing do you need explained to you next, that Biden did not attack Gaza and Harris is not the president and has no say over his policy anyway?

With regard to why men are moving out drifting away from the Democrat party, is it really such a mystery? I don't think its so much that they love Trump (although that's certainly the case for some), but they are routinely dismissed and insulted by those on the left. Check the progressive lefty ladies on The View recently:

And what is the name of the imaginary strawman you have constructed in my name in which you think that I expect that ALL Palestinian-Americans will vote for Harris, or that ANY of the “owe” her their vote?
Accusing someone of “revictimizing” a victim who has done no such thing is cheap and easy and just crass, though I can and I do slap back. Stuff your preening sanctimony.
