It's only a strawman if you haven't posted exactly that argument before. So, which is it, though? Did the Dems lose because they failed to pivot left on Palestine to capture the leftist Arabic vote, or are leftist Arabs an inconsequentially small voter base?
Answer: it's the second one! White people handed this country to Trump, and trying to court Arabs with Palestine wouldn't have increased Harris' results.
Again, not a false dilemma if you've previously posted that pivoting left for Arabic votes on Palestine would put the Democrats in power.
I agree that the Dems abandoned appealing to voters on economic grounds, which is what actually lost them the election. But I'm not addressing any arguments in that - I'm commenting on your previous commentary on Dems not pivoting left on Palestine. So hey, fallacy fallacy yourself if you want.

This you? This isn't a meme you posted about Dems needing to shift left on Palestine? /conversation
