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.

    I was a little drunk which is what got me posting in the first place.

    Totally fair, that makes a lot of sense. Yeah i wanted to be direct but i don’t really want to be harsh, since i think you’re asking genuine questions.

    I’d also say like others have, that it’s fine if you vote. Some of us vote, and under certain circumstances some who generally don’t would, especially locally.

    But we’re mostly communists here, so we reject capitalism and liberal democracy, and through historical example know that you can’t use liberal democracy to stop the oppression of the ruling class that controls liberal democracy. They won’t let their power be voted away, so that’s why we have the general attitude we do toward voting especially in national elections in the US.

    Anyway, thanks for asking genuine questions. We can be a rough bunch, but we don’t have a problem explaining ourselves to people who genuinely want to understand. No one is born a communist and we were all ignorant of the things we know now at one time.
