Unless Biden drastically reverses course on Palestine, Muslims will not turn out for him on Election Day—critical voters in key swing states—and Democrats only have themselves to blame.

Former democratic party activists are organizing Muslims and Arab-Americans in Swing states to vote against Biden with the demand that he support a ceasefire in Gaza.

I’ll allow them a little bit of electoralism this time.

    The vote is performative.

    At this point, you’re voting for the window dressing.

    • Which bill was it where dems legalized gay marriage?

    • Which bill was it where they protected abortion rights?

    • Which bill was it where they protected the right to marry other races?

    etc.

    Basing your record on a few supreme court decisions, which can (and have) get overturned is fatuous.

    Aside from taking a slightly less shitty stance on things, you’ll find that for the most part, the dems, when they had full government control, did fuck all to enshrine minority rights, provide a living wage, or make steps towards universal healthcare.

    I used to think like this, I’m 50 and voted like my life depended on it since '92. All I’ve seen since then, are conditions getting worse and worse, regardless of who was in office. I bought Obama’s schtick and watched as he did half assed measures and frittered a majority away.

    And by the way “b-b-but conservative democrats” line has been used as far back as I can remember. If you consistently see members of a party blocking vital legislation over and over and over again. Maybe that shit is performative too.

    This country needs a reset.
