      Yes, we do want to punish Biden. It’s that simple, he is allowing and chaperoning the starvation of millions of our people. Over half of whom are children! Everyone should be angry at Biden’s decisions and role in this current conflict. Why would we not want justice in the form of his loss?

      I can assure you that we’d rather suffer here in the form of discrimination (which happens either way, all throughout my childhood post-9/11 in particular), over the continued suffering of our brothers and sisters in Palestine, Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, and Iran through continued US hegemony in the region. I’d rather continue to be treated as a second class citizen, with a full belly and a roof over my head, then let people far worse off than me face horrors behind comprehension. A Trump victory would weaken America not strengthen it.

      Muslims know what we must do to ensure our people get the peace that they deserve as human beings. If that means sacrificing domestic comfort, then so be it.

      “Vote blue no matter who” types should keep on talking down to and patronizing Muslims on geopolitics, Black Americans on police violence, and leftists on corporate overreach. That has totally worked out well in the past 🙄

      All politicians must earn the support of their constituents. America will fall regardless of a republican victory, because our democracy will suffer either way. Specifically because of the morons who vote for politicians even after they stab them in the back.

      I would love to see Trump try and deport the millions of Americans who are citizens. His immigration ban failed for a reason, and citizens have far greater protections.

          Honestly, they aren’t any better than the Bernie Bros. Changing your vote to Trump because Bernie didn’t win means that you don’t give a shit about policy or issues. No one who actually supported Bernie policies would have ever voted for Trump.

          Typical Republican voter thought honestly. I will vote in line with what hurts me the most because it will hurt this one person right there and damned anyone else that sinks in the ship with me.

          You lost me where you insinuated I care more about my comfort than theirs. I absolutely do not, “a full belly and a roof over my head” refers to the fact that I am in a better position than them. I can bear it with more ease than them. It will never be as bad for Muslims in America as it is for the Palestinians right now. If you don’t understand that, then you do not know what they are going through. I’d rather be the one starving and homeless, not them. Especially not those innocent children who did nothing wrong other than exist.

          That’s besides the point though, you can fixate on me all you want. This thread is referring to muslim voters, not me. The fact stands that Biden’s position on Israel is threatening his chances in 2024. Period. I’m not discussing this any further. You obviously have no clue what you’re talking about and continuously misinterpret my words and derail the conversation.

          You won’t change my mind and I won’t change yours. There’s nothing to discuss when you very clearly have no intention of ever understanding the point of view of Muslims.

          Edit: and as far as the rest of your drivel. I was born and raised here. I know the pain and suffering of the people who live where my parents came from. I visit my family there often. I know far better than you how lucky I was to be born here and live here currently. I love this country and its people. You and I just disagree on the best course of action. America’s global policies must change for lasting global peace at home and abroad. Don’t forget that America’s policies in Israel were a direct “casus belli” for 9/11. Over 3000 of our people died for a country thousands of miles away that doesn’t even value the life of a child. Without a drastic change, America will not continue to be the country we know and love.
