(3,395 posts)and Joe on that issue (God bless him, but he was WRONG on the Gaza war
when it continued forever)---
but the Wayne County muslims made a huge mistake,
and where are we now???
That issue probably lost Michigan for the Democratic presidential nominee,
but much less so elsewhere... where we probably lost the election
because of the economy and inflation,
regardless of logical arguments about it....

(3,395 posts)mostly due to the concentration in Dearborn and Wayne County.
Yes, the issue hurt us elsewhere as well,
but not nearly as much as in Michigan
(my home state, so I was extremely aware of the problem here)

(1,605 posts)...voting for Trump.
Exit polling proved that Trump peeled off a good number of traditionally liberal demographics from Harris' expected base.

(3,395 posts)and I WAS a big supporter of VP Harris after President Biden dropped out---
'Blanket' statements like you are making here are offensive.
