“The election has already started. Absentee ballots have been sent. We need to catch up rapidly. We need everyone here to get active. We need to be clear about what our goals are. We are not in a position to win the White House, but we do have a real opportunity to win something historic, we could deny Kamala Harris the state of Michigan. And the polls show that most likely Harris cannot win the election without Michigan.”

Trump is actively attempting to court these dissatisfied voters. In September, he received the endorsement of Democrat Amer Ghalib, the Muslim mayor of Hamtramck, Michigan.

Many Arab American leaders, meanwhile, have strongly opposed a Trump presidency, citing his so-called Muslim ban on immigrants from several majority-Muslim countries.

    It’s interesting that we use the word “damage” to talk about making something worse, even if it should be worse. Bins are supposed to be full of garbage. If drag throws garbage in the bin, is drag “damaging” the bin? No, the bin is supposed to be that way. So that’s why it’s funny that we say it’s damage when Kshama Sawant makes us think less of the Greens. Sawant is being very logical and factual about what impact the Greens are really having. It makes us like the Greens less, but is that really damage?
