“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.
I will never ever understand minorities that vote this way. I get people who are like me voting conservative, I don’t but I get their self-interest pov. You are literally voting for people who want you deported. They have made that crystal clear.
There was a story about a woman who voted for Trump in 2016. Her husband was then deported as an illegal immigrant. Apparently, she was shocked that the guy who campaigned repeatedly on kicking out all illegal immigrants no matter what would kick out her husband because he was an illegal immigrant.
It was a real “leopards eating my face” moment and shows just how stupid some people are.
I remember that story
Is there really a lot of difference between Evangelical Christian and Muslim? There is a lot in the middle of the venn diagram of things they hate.
Yes. If there is a theocratic takeover of the US it isn’t the evangelicals that are getting deported.
It may surprise you to learn the are more white Muslims than any other individual race. It’s a very diverse religion in America, but just over a quarter are white.
It does not surprise me since I already knew that. Not like I have Egyptian Coptic family or something
My bad, I forgot you told me that already.
This is pressure to make the Democrats better, whether by changing their stance or getting different Dems.
Would you suggest accepting that the Democrats as they are is enough to stop climate change, end wealth inequality, provide housing and healthcare, end discrimination, reform the police, etc?
Let me know how that works for you. You know after you lose the Senate and Presidency next year. Watch how fast the Supreme Court upholds a Muslim registration program over an issue of standing or by pointing out that the census already requests that information. Then we will get a second travel ban.
You are voting against your own interests.
Who says they aren’t voting Democrat when it comes down to it? They’re trying to improve their voting choice. Ffs.
This is how democracies die. Fascists don’t need a majority to win, they just need their opposition to be splintered. It’s exactly what happened in Hungary, and now it’s too late.
You might want to think long and hard about how you triage your political decisions.
It’s not a Trump campaign. It’s a DNC better pick someone else or they’re fucked campaign. And that’s true frankly regardless of my personal opinion. The dude has sacrificed too many communities to make republicans happy and now the warmongering. He destroyed his own campaign.
This is how democracies die.
Fine get deported. See if I care.
It’s pretty clear that the people who have this take, regardless of party or political affiliation, don’t care. If they did care, they would listen. People who care don’t make threats. They listen.
It isn’t a threat. If Muslims don’t vote this year the chances of the GOP taking over becomes that much higher. At which point white liberals will be able to do nothing. So what do you want? Do you want to vote for the party that you have some chance of getting what you want or the party that you have no chance of getting what you want? How is pointing out that voting for the face eating leopard party might result in your face getting eaten by leopards a threat?
