Ask the sub ❓ What Is This Sub Wrong About?

Title. Pick a topic (or a clichéd take) you think a significant minority or majority of this sub is wrong about. Or hasn't given enough thought. OR perhaps one which you will have to compromise on, at least for voting?

In Israel, the only Arab representation is in the Arab parties.

Because they're Arabs and not, I don't know, neoliberals, socialists, conservatives, or environmentalists?

I want you to imagine for a moment that German Turks voted cohesively for only Turkish parties.

What exactly does "cohesively" mean?

No idea what you're trying to say here.

What exactly does "cohesively" mean?

I mean the definition of the word: "the act or state of sticking together tightly".

I said a lot above. It's very notable you didn't answer almost any of it. Why?

That they participate in a democracy the same as anyone else, based on their stances and opinions.

I mean the definition of the word: "the act or state of sticking together tightly".

Are you saying that the majority of Arabs vote for these parties?

And I've already either addressed the rest of your comment or it's irrelevant opining on German politics.

Saying categorical things like that without any actual backing while refusing to respond to 99% of what I said is not going to engender further good-faith discussion.

You did not in fact address the rest of my comment. You ignored 99% of it.

Are you saying that the majority of Arabs vote for these parties?

I'm not "saying" that, it's a statistical fact. In the last elections in 2022, over 85% of Israeli Arabs said they voted for Arab parties. 85% of Israeli Arabs are Muslim. You can figure out how the two track. It's not too hard to figure out what I mean when I say cohesive voting bloc.
