In case it wasn't already obvious, there clearly isn't a single Arabic speaker on AOC's team.

This is the worst thing I've ever seen any political campaign ever do. I'm definitely voting for Trump now. He would never do that.

He knows how to appeal to both English speakers and ~~citizens of the Empire of Rome~~ Spanish speakers!

Full of mistakes is an understatement....That's not even Arabic.

This is what you get if you put the phrase "Vote by Tuesday, November 5th"

التصويت بحلول يوم الثلاثاء 5 نوفمبر

Whoever did this should be fired lol.

I don't understand. She's in New York City. She could probably bump into an Arabic speaker if she just stood on the sidewalk for five minutes.

As opposed to Arabic speakers in the other party?

They can always ask their pal MBS to proofread.

[–] HomerianSymphony@lemmy.world -5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Which is one more Arabic speaking pal than AOC has, apparently.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Sorry... are you actually saying friendship with the bloodthirsty Saudi royals is preferable in a politician to one who didn't use someone to proofread the Arabic on a flyer?

How is that related?

Libs here really do get pissed whenever you say anything bad about Kamala, shocking news libs a critique of Kamala isnt a support for Trump.

Their excuse is always "Trump is worse", which is not an excuse.

AOC's campaign team not having a single Muslim on it in New York City really undermines their claims of being the party of diversity.
