Muslim voters disillusioned with President Biden’s position on Israel are facing the prospect of a difficult choice in 2024.

    Muslims refusing to vote for Biden is like taking themselves hostage. You know if Trump gets elected he will try to deport them, inspire more hate crimes against them, and would be way worse for Palestinians.

    Biden isn’t the problem. The problem is that both parties support Israel.

      Another problem with not voting is, in my eyes, the same as voting for your least preferred choice. Basically not voting is voting for the other guy.

      The problem is the two-party system and that we don’t have ranked choice voting. The DNC would rather a Republican win than to see an inspiring progressive win. People voted for Biden in 2020 because it was either him or Trump, but I believe a lot of people expected the DNC to take note and make changes to ensure their voices were heard. Instead, it seems like the DNC took that as a message that Biden is well liked and that they didn’t even need another candidate. If Trump gets elected in 2024, it will be the DNC’s fault and the DNC’s fault alone. Don’t go blaming the progressives, Muslims, or whoever else.
