    Can someone please identify a few “Muslim issues” that are ignored by Democrats? I can’t seem to think of any political issues that could be considered “Muslim”

      Yes.

      Removing the Muslim ban (Biden delivered on this)

      Civil Liberties for Muslim Americans (he won’t meet with Muslim rights groups like CAIR)

      Prosecuting hate crimes against Muslims and mosques. (Biden only announced this month that he will get some experts together and make a new policy TBD. Not sure why he waited 3 years to announce he will start to deliver on a campaign promise…)

      Evenhanded Israel-Palestine policy (he badly failed at this)

      Support democracy in Middle East and Muslim majority countries (he’s failed at this)

        ya, just remember if Biden doesn’t get in, the guy that unironically wants to send Muslims to camps will get in

          no way to stop this says only country… oh no wait thats shootings.

          what do you call a democratic system where you only have one choice?

            see, you happen to be confusing having one not horrible choice with having no choice.

                It’s American “democracy” in action

                Clearly we need a different system, because it’s clear that Democrats will never make the types of change we need, and we sure as hell can’t vote Republican

                It’s a farce

                  why are you relying on electoralism to enact change? no, you go out and vote every election so the least bad, and easier to work with government gets into power, not so you can sit back as they do everything

                    Why are you a liar? Let’s start with that. I vote in every election, fuckwit. And the Democrats have consistently failed me.

                even in a multi party system, why would there be multiple parties that have similar demands?

                you also again forget that you have a choice of following through with an ultimatum

        Not sure why he waited 3 years to announce he will start to deliver on a campaign promise…

        Common tactic. Delay working on vote-winning issues until the end of the first term for that sweet, oh so sweet, double dip.

      Not American

      In Canada Muslims vote Conservative

      Recently a Liberal visited a Mosque and covered her hair/dressed up for it

      They booed her and told her that Muslims will never vote for a pro-gay candidate

      We had a nationwide march against gays/trans called the one million march for children, Christian and Muslim leaders joined together to organize it

      Well many of them do seem to be pretty upset at the US giving military aid to Israel.
