There are no Hamas supporters. There are anti-genocide protesters. I'm guessing Arab voters will just sit out. If the choice is to vote for the racist guy genociding their people or the racist guy who will probably do the same thing, what's the point?

I think a lot of people will come back during the actual election. But I also know that Democrats seem terrified of the dissent. You don't ban a popular app and storm college campuses unless you're terrified of your genocide getting more attention. Those are the actions of people who are scared of their position.
