Muslim Americans voted overwhelmingly for Biden. But community leaders in swing states tell NBC News that the president's handling of the war in Gaza risks losing their support.
Last time I acted on a threat like this, we got Bush Jr.
puts on mechanic outfit that’s your problem right there! You’ve got your intended effect meter on backwards. puts it back to “politician acts on threat from constituents”
I really do believe that blood is on my hands.
Blaming yourself for what others do is a classic sign of being in a toxic relationship. You didn’t invent the undemocratuc Electoral College, without which Dubya would never have been president and none of his war crimes were suggested by you.
Every potential US president with any real chance of winning - all of them - will support Israel.
Yeah, as long as people like you reinforce the toxic status quo by doing their best to vehemently oppose every attempt to hold them accountable.
My representatives know I think our support of Israel in this genocide is unconscionable.
And your representative also knows that they can count on you and others to run interference every time someone tries to effect meaningful change.
Threatening to not vote for the lesser of two evils is an understandable statement of frustration, but until there’s a credible alternative candidate who says they’d cut military support for Israel… well, it’s just punching a brick wall.
You would have told Martin Luther King to cut it out with the “brick wall punching” for sure.
You didn’t invent the undemocratuc Electoral College
No, and I didn’t institute our broken first-past-the-post election system, which is far more complicit than the electoral college. But, even back then, I knew full well how the system works. Everyone who understands how our election system works and yet still believes they are making a difference with a protest vote is being willfully ignorant.
In that election, the Green Party did far better than they ever had before. What measurable difference did that have in either the reigning conservative, or subsequent liberal, policy? What did those protest votes accomplish, other than absolutely making the difference and costing Al Gore a close election?

Oh, cut it out. You know this is a straw man. Protest can be effective; violent insurrection has worked. Neither are strategic voting.
You can vote Bernie as many times as you want. It’s not going to affect American policy. Protest votes in general elections are wasted votes; it’s the mathematically proven outcome of our first-past-the-post election system.

I know, but they wouldn’t have gotten the opportunity to do so if not for the EC.
