“We recognize that, in the next four years, our decision may cause us to have an even more difficult time. But we believe that this will give us a chance to recalibrate, and the Democrats will have to consider whether they want our votes or not.”

That’s gotta be one of the strangest reasonings I’ve heard in a while.

    To be clear by “do better” I mean appeal to most voters, which means transferring politics that have broad support in to policies. Right now they provide policy and basically invent the politics to underlie it.

    Also let’s be clear what’s being asked of Muslim voters right now, “support the fascist genocide against your people vicariously by supporting the Democrats, because the alternative will be worse.” That’s a BIG ask, that’s why it’s never addressed directly and diverted with “this is the best you can get.” To then shame those voters and blame them for worsening the situation… you’re telling them this system requires them to die one way or another. I don’t blame them one bit for taking this position.
