I’m thinking of those ultra religious Korean Christian nutjobs who vote solely because they hate gay people. They’re very much single-issue voters (but not on issues that affect them, just issues like gay marriage 😒) and I know there are several super religious Asian communities who vote red and always have. Obviously it’s not most and it’s not all but they are a loud minority and in Asian communities, they do have lot of influence because of insularity and solidarity. The Asian hate crimes were a big factor this year and very understandable. But I didn’t really see any politician running on that. Hate crimes have to be handled rather differently than general crime but that’s a more nuanced topic.
I’m speaking anecdotally but to me, it really seems like the younger Asians have more political knowledge than our immigrant parents and won’t vote for a Trumper who will end up doing more harm for our community. Of course, it is super frustrating when voting for larger tickets like governer, nyc mayor, etc but I’m seeing a bigger effort to get Asian people in political positions in nearby suburbs that have large Asian communities. I am hopeful of the future that our voices will have more political power. We do need to get more involved as this is where we live and it matters more than ever. There won’t be change for us if theres no one in office who understands us. Damn every election now feels stressful as hell 😂 it’s like voting for brainless shills vs rabid psychopaths.

Asian communities are pretty split with political leanings. Always have been. Younger tend to be more liberal due to being less religious. I personally haven’t met anyone (20s-40s Asian-Americans) who voted for Zeldin but I’m not surrounded by religious people. We’re aware democrats don’t do much for Asian hate crimes but trumpie republicans would definitely do more harm than good for the Asian communities. We’re voting for a bandaid at this point. It’s become very depressing

I just use it cause so many websites store cookies which somehow makes the user experience worse over time so it’s much better to use Incognito for that reason (and that reason only). Who uses chrome for privacy anymore?

Yeah but on E, they’re just sleeping not bothering anyone. I’ve had crazy men try to attack me on A. Anyways, any train without doors is a nightmare
