My wife is Indonesian Muslim, hates Kamala for what we're doing in Palestine and told me not to vote for her. I'm still voting for Kamala but man that was a hard conversation I never would have expected. Seems like the military owns everything these days
She understands that Trump would actively get on the ground and help the IDF out if he could, right?
Oof, that must be a weird conversation. Am Indonesian.
Any conversation touching Islam adjacent lost any nuance with the general population more often than not . Not saying your wife is one, but let's be honest the education quality here is abysmal and at the same time we're number 1 muslim by population. Also our "Netizen" is notorious for wrongly attacking any issue they misunderstood.
One of our top singer got berated nationwide because she wore a skirt with a random arabic text in it, people thought it was a Holy script and she's Christian.
I kid you not one election season I saw an angry mob with a banner that said USA = COMMUNIST !!
Most have hard enough time just to get by day to day so I get it, they take anything to blame. With corruption top to bottom it's a sad state all around. I'm grateful it's still a relatively peaceful affair though, at least here in Java.
The hard part is, she gets to pick between genocide, and genocide with fewer rights for women.
I don't understand why she'd pick the latter, but anger does crazy things.
In defense Kamala is actively in power with Biden and has had many chances to voice and make change on this issue and she hasn't. We know what we will get with Kamala, and it's a lot like Biden all over again
Well, seeing a lot of the positives Biden has done, or tried to do but the repubs shut down purely out of spite, I'm still fully voting for Kamala.
We also know what we'd get with Trump. He's pretty forward about wanting Israel to finish the genocide quicker.
If your presidential plan is "Trump is worse," you have no plan, that's the problem. Trump is obviously worse, but you need to stand for something and have policy and actions.
It's "I'm fucked" vs "I'm fucked and those that fucked me die too".
It's gonna get harder. Especially if you guys have kids.
