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.

    Because we always vote for the lesser of two evils, we now have a system where candidates can be as evil as they want as long as the other candidate is more evil. There is no incentive to be anything except slightly less ghoulish than the other person. And even then, they can usually get away with being more ghoulish than the other person if it fits well enough into the current bigoted zeitgeist.
