The skepticism among Arab tweeters regarding the US electoral process underscores a broader disillusionment with Western democratic practices, particularly in the context of foreign policy decisions that affect the Middle East.
The comments reveal a perception that both Trump and Harris, despite their differing political platforms, may not significantly alter the trajectory of US involvement in the region.
If the election results are delayed, it could lead to increased speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding the legitimacy of the electoral process, particularly among international observers.
Should Trump win, it may reinforce existing tensions in the Middle East, while a Harris victory could lead to a re-evaluation of US foreign policy, particularly in relation to military engagement in the region.
The US elections have sparked significant interest on social media, particularly among Arab tweeters, who have shared varied perspectives on the candidates and potential outcomes. As Americans head to the polls, the contest is between Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and Republican incumbent Donald Trump, with many speculating on the implications of the results for both the US and the Middle East.
Comments from Arab social media users reflect skepticism about the electoral process, with some suggesting that the outcome is predetermined by the interests of the political elite rather than the will of the people. Abdullah Al-Amoudi stated, 'The American elections are just formalities and appearances. In the end, whoever the White House wants to win wins, not the people.'
Others highlighted the unreliability of opinion polls, which have historically failed to accurately predict election outcomes, as noted by Al-Wadaei. Ali expressed indifference towards the election results, emphasizing that the winning candidate would primarily serve American interests, not those of Arab nations.
Yara echoed this sentiment, stating that both candidates represent a continuation of policies that could lead to conflict in the Middle East. This reflects a broader concern among Arab observers regarding the future of US foreign policy regardless of who wins.
