'I will never vote Biden': Some Muslim Americans in a key swing state feel betrayed by the president
Muslim and Arab Americans say their support was critical to Biden’s winning Michigan in 2020. Some warn they won’t back him again over his blanket support for Israel.

You're viewing a single thread.
So their option would be...what?
I will simply not vote, unless I get another decent option like Bernie Sanders. Any other genocide denying piece of shit can kick rocks.
Bernie did a speech about his support of Israel just last week.
It seems like he supports keeping an ally and also minimizing human suffering. Curious where I can find that speech of his? Is it in line with these press releases of his?
Good statements. Condemning Hamas while acknowledging the suffering in Gaza. And I read it in his voice lol.
It was during the senate debate about support for Israel and Ukraine
I will simply not vote
You may not see a choice that gets better in your single issue, but not voting may be a choice for the worse on many issues you also care about
Yeah, I don't think people understand that elections are a zero sum game (especially in a two party system). Not voting essentially becomes a vote for the other party, since one less vote lowers the threshold for one party to win over the other.
What if you don't like either side equally? Which side does your non-vote go to? Or, by your logic, are you technically voting twice for the negative aspects of both sides?
Since Republicans can and do win the presidency without a popular majority, I'd say not voting at all favors them. They understand this and it's why they always try to reduce voter turnout.
That's honestly a fair argument, and stated well.
I can't not upvote a Simpsons reference.
Upvoted to offset the inevitable downvotes you'll get from our (hive) minders.
No amount of mental gymnastics is going to convince me to vote for someone who actively aided a genocide.
Genocide denying? Best I can tell Biden is in support of stopping the violence and negotiating peace which would be a two state solution.
He referred to the calls for a ceasefire as "abhorrent"
100% sounds like you're talking out your ass right now, but if you have a source I'll change my mind.
Sorry he said "disgraceful" not abhorrent, but, yeah I feel you on the cognitive dissonance, it's a bizarre take.
