  • Leaders of 'Uncommitted' and 'Abandon Harris' movements reflect on Trump's victory and early moves

    Jump

  • All voters are worthy of our time. But Trump's victory demonstrates that the American electorate, and Palestinian-Americans in particular, have moved further to the right since 2020. To the point that the staunchest supporter of Israel can win most demographics.

    Democrats will have to grapple with this when formulating new policies. The only "tribalism" comes those who look at 2024 and imagine voters moved to the left.

    EDIT:

    As for Wayne County, I was responding to "Trump interacted a lot more with Arab voters". There is no evidence of that.

    Wayne County visits are admittedly an imperfect metric of interaction, so if you have some better comparative metric then I'd love to see it.

  • Trump at least said "fine I'll end the war."

    That's not all he said.

    "If you get me elected, and you should really be doing this … we're going to set that movement [the pro-Palestine solidarity campaign] back 25 or 30 years"

    He said on Oct. 11 that a future Trump administration would “fully support Israel defeating, dismantling, and permanently destroying the terrorist group Hamas,” while telling the Republican Jewish Coalition later that month that Hamas fighters “will burn forever in the eternal pit of hell." That month, his campaign also said that, if elected again, he would bar Gaza residents from entering the U.S. as part of an expanded travel ban.

    Based on that, it's clear that Trump did not win by pursuing a pro-Palestine policy. He nevertheless connected with Palestinian-American voters, and I suspect it's for the same reason he connected with Latino voters.

  • Exactly. Trump connected with them better despite fewer visits.

    The lesson is that those voters want someone like Trump.

  • Harris/Walz visited Wayne County 12 times. Plus another 3 visits by Biden.

    Trump/Vance only visited 8 times.

  • Trump didn't listen to them, and he won their vote. So if anything, this proves they wanted someone more like Trump.

  • The bigger difference is that NPOs don't have shareholders who demand profits.

  • The hospital in this story, MD Anderson, is also a nonprofit. In fact it's part of the University of Texas, a state-run school. So nobody profited from what happened here.

    And in general, insurance companies have an antagonistic relationship with health care providers. Because when insurance companies deny care, health care providers lose money.

  • Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois, Pike’s health insurer through his employer, had declined to cover the roughly $40,000 treatment.

    Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois is a nonprofit, so it turns out nonprofits deny care too.

    And they claim a right to protection in Gaza? This lawsuit is going nowhere.

  • If they are not planning to renew their leases, then they aren't doing the bidding of their landlords as OP suggested.

    In other words, if a company (for some reason) wants to please commercial real estate owners, it doesn't have to end WFH.

    And if it doesn't care about pleasing commercial real estate owners, then it must have some other reason for ending WFH.

  • Right, but if you have a tenant then you don't care what their WFH policy is.
