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

    They can also just be less enthused and a few may not vote. They don’t even need to decide not to vote - they can intend to, but with an additional logistical hurdle, it ceases to be something they do.

    I’m not going to fight to vote if I think both candidates are happy to see me (and people like me) dead. And while Biden wrings his hands at the “jumanitarian” toll, it really looks like it’s the political one that has his attention.

    People will have legitimate feelings about that and we as Americans are not entitled to Muslims voting against Trump. Even if we desperately need it.

    If we do desperately need it, we’ll need to earn it.

      I just think voting for someone who called for a full and complete ban on your religion entering the country absolves anyone of taking your position seriously in the future.

      You say we as if “we” and Muslims are separate. We are all the same. We don’t have to earn Muslim votes. Our party needs to earn all of our votes. Just because they have a specific issue in world politics right now doesn’t make them any different than so many sub groups within the democrat party.

      Nope. Like most things in the continued enshitification of life, the bleeding must be stopped before the wound may be closed. Voting for the lesser Evil is as required.

      Every Election, no excuses.
