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.

    I think the difference here that you're not addressing, is that no one claimed Biden or even Hillary were Muslim. They only did that with Obama. Yeah they would have hated Obama if he was white too, just like the hated Clinton before him. But no one called Bill Clinton a Muslim. I don't see anything revisionist or lazy about this idea. It may or may not be right, but i don't think its lazy or incongruent within the historical context.

    I’m sure a percentage of people think he’s extra bad for being black

    This seems kind of hand wavy regarding the existence and level of rascism in the US. Obviously, i hate Obama for all the legitimate reasons to hate him, but there was a nonstop barage of rascist attacks against him that drowned out real critiques of his ghoulish, status quo admin.

    The US is a white supremacist state. Its not just a certain percentage, its the bedrock of the US project.

    I know no one here will want to hear this.

    Why? Or do you just want to sound like a condescending redditor?
