Muslim Americans voted overwhelmingly for Biden. But community leaders in swing states tell NBC News that the president's handling of the war in Gaza risks losing their support.
Last time I acted on a threat like this, we got Bush Jr. I absolutely did not want to see Tipper Fucking Gore in the White House again, so I voted Green Party. Turns out, me and a bunch of other people doing the same thing almost certainly resulted in the resulting 20 years of constant war, and the deaths of countless innocent civilian non-combatants. I really do believe that blood is on my hands.
Every potential US president with any real chance of winning - all of them - will support Israel. Taking voting action that will lead to a guy who will not only continue to support Israel, but will fan the fires of anti-Islamic rhetoric, and is also a right-wing white supremicist who openly hates poor people… that’s the definition of “cutting off your nose to spite your face.”
They’re angry. I*m angry. My representatives know I think our support of Israel in this genocide is unconscionable. Threatening to not vote for the lesser of two evils is an understandable statement of frustration, but until there’s a credible alternative candidate who says they’d cut military support for Israel… well, it’s just punching a brick wall.

Blaming yourself for what others do is a classic sign of being in a toxic relationship. You didn’t invent the undemocratuc Electoral College, without which Dubya would never have been president and none of his war crimes were suggested by you.

Yeah, as long as people like you reinforce the toxic status quo by doing their best to vehemently oppose every attempt to hold them accountable.
My representatives know I think our support of Israel in this genocide is unconscionable.
And your representative also knows that they can count on you and others to run interference every time someone tries to effect meaningful change.

You would have told Martin Luther King to cut it out with the “brick wall punching” for sure.
