The article from months ago, about Biden? Yeah... Sure.
You really do have a habit of ignoring any point that's inconvenient to you. So I'll leave you to read my previous post again.
Wow, what a great point. Except the context I brought the article up in was, "This is the baggage Harris inherents as a member of the Biden administration, she needs to distance herself from Biden's position in Israel if she wants to win Michigan, this makes Shapiro a very bad choice." So, what Muslim Americans were saying about Biden 3 months ago is actually very relevant given that context, and it's not a great point.
But thanks for, "You really do have a habit of ignoring any point that's inconvenient to you." Watching you ignore your misinterpretation of Harris' Michigan polls, misunderstanding that entire article, and that you've still provided no evidence to support any of your assertions, that legit made me LOL. Anyway, as someone else in this thread said, once it had become clear you had no idea what you're talking about, "We're done here."
If you want to talk about that why not any of the articles published in the last week about it? Why an article from months ago colored by Biden being the candidate?
Because you claimed that the Uncommitted voters would still fall behind Biden in the general, and that article very clearly shows many Muslim Americans would not. But you're right, there have been a lot of articles written in the last week about how Harris is trying to win back the Muslim groups that Biden lost. Those articles are also great examples of why Shapiro, who once said Palestinians are, “too battle-minded," for peace, is a bad VP pick.
