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.

    "When you vote for the lesser of two evils what happens? You always get evil, and you always get less" - who knows but I heard it somewhere

      Genocide Joe vs Trump is a debate over whether to drive off a cliff while following the speed limit or at 120 MPH.

        The best possible argument you can make for Biden is that the left isn't organized enough to be endorsing accelerationism

        It's not a real good one

          From a purely tactical electoralist perspective, you are better off showing up to vote for down-ballot state and local officials and leaving national ones blank. It's the opposite of what people normally do, which is just not show up if they don't like the national candidates. The parties look at the difference in votes both between candidates and in terms of the overall number cast.

          Accelerationism is when you spend the first Tuesday ocurring after a Monday in November gooning on your couch instead of voting to re-elect the guy who's arming genocidaires and spreading blood libel in addresses to the nation.

      I remember reading something like that from one of the Witcher books from that one Pole writer.

      Edit:

      “Evil is Evil. Lesser, greater, middling… Makes no difference. The degree is arbitary. The definition’s blurred. If I’m to choose between one evil and another… I’d rather not choose at all.”

        The point of this quote by Geralt in the story is that Geralt is wrong and using it as an excuse to avoid taking action to protect innocent lives. The result of this stance of his is that he butchers several people in a public square and gets driven out of town and forever labeled "The Butcher of Blaviken." Only a couple pages after this 'evil is evil' monologue he says, verbatim, "We have to choose the lesser evil!"
