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.

I'll allow them a little bit of electoralism this time.

    keeping creationists out of your local school board is a great example of your point 3 exception.

    There's probably even some population size where local politics aren't totally inbred but aren't prohibitively big where a small group of invested leftists could elect a city counselor or county clerk, or bully an entrenched liberal into doing good things but you have to do a bunch of non-electoral organizing to get to that point.

      This is where I'm at. I'm in rural New York so unless I ball my ballot up and throw it at Joe Biden so hard he dies my vote WILL NOT have any effect on national elections.

      But the only reason we dont have a school board that wants to replace math and history with Bible study and Introduction to Respecting the Troops is because the 30 people in town who aren't willfully ignorant bigots organize to vote for somebody who believes public education is a good thing.
