Dearborn , Michigan , is America ’s only Arab -majority city.

The community finds itself disillusioned by both major parties, especially over the U.S. handling of the war in Gaza .

With frustration mounting over foreign policy and domestic issues like inflation and health care, many question who truly represents their values.

Palestinian American : Democratic Party has missed key opportunities to reassure Arab American voters about Gaza .

Arab American : "The time for listening — we’re beyond that now. We're in a phase where constituencies like mine are demanding action in the form of policy change, not just rhetoric change, but in seeing a party that for years this community has been loyal to".

Some Arab Dearborners are considering voting for the Green Party as an alternative to the mainstream candidates.

Stein 's stance on Gaza resonates with young voters such as Zayed Saleem , 18 .

But some question whether Stein , who has lost two presidential races, in 2012 and 2016 , stands any realistic chance of challenging the campaigns of Harris and Trump .
