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.

      Well if Genocide Joe wants to not throw away the election then he’d better stop supporting the Israeli military in its ethnic cleansing.

      Like I cannot believe the level of pure fucking entitlement to claim that a man who’s been actively campaigning for the democrats since 2008 is a stupid trump supporter when finally, after 15 years of supporting the democrats under the promise of “the lesser evil” and then watching them repeatedly commit horrific crimes against the Arab world, he says he won’t vote for the democrats until they change how they act after the president announced that he proudly endorses the apartheid state of israel while, under his watch, the US is funding an active genocide against the Palestinian people.

      To give a sense of scale, the Israeli government has killed 2,360 children in the last 3 weeks in gaza, the Russian government has killed 1,700 in the last 2 years in Ukraine. Biden is endorsing a far right fascistic murderer who’s easily outpaced Putin in just a few weeks and you’re sitting there pearl clutching that Muslim democrat voters are turned off by Biden when he’s been pretty much making it clear that the lives of Muslim children from Gaza are worth less to him than white European children from Ukraine.

      And like, the author of the article’s not even refusing to vote for the democrats again, not even point blank saying he won’t vote for biden again, all he’s saying is that either the democrats need a new candidate or Biden needs to change his stance if they want his vote and the vote of many other Arab American democrats who swung the election for Biden back in 2020.

      Like this is the textbook purpose of democracy, that if Biden wants to win then he has to oppose fascism, and if he refuses to do that then what the fuck where so many Americans turning up to vote for in 2020?

      You’re asking people to vote for a guy that is actively supporting an oppressive apartheid state in carrying out what may very well turn into a full on genocide.

      Does this really not make you pause?

      "In North Korea you have to vote for one party, if anything bad happens they blame you and tell you fascism is your fault. This is what they mean by democracy. "

      Attn shitlib, this will be news to you but guess what? Neoliberals like Biden are fucking right wing. That’s what makes them NEOLIBERALS.

      Weird how you choose to endorse them, curious even, while asserting that choosing to support only actually leftist candidates is, somehow, a right wing thing to do.

      According to you we have to abandon our principles and support for people whose policies would actually help things and support your right wing candidates or else we’re “far right.” Either way we’d still have a fucking right wing government!

      If voting for someone who is not Trump is by default a vote for Trump, then is voting for Trump equal to 2 votes for Trump?

      We’re reaching areas of mathematics never dreamed before!

        By not voting for Biden you are voting for Trump. But, because of symmetry, by not voting for Trump you are voting for Biden.

        Therefore, by not voting for either you are voting for both and committing voter fraud, which is cool and good
