Muslim and Arab Americans say their support was critical to Biden’s winning Michigan in 2020. Some warn they won’t back him again over his blanket support for Israel.

“I am willing to vote for a much worse actual fascist monster who will 100% use his presidency to destroy democracy and those that tried to hold him accountable, all because Biden… stood with an ally during a horrendous terrorist attack even though because of Biden Israel has slowed its roll and allowed aid in”
The full brainless take from that moron. What an emotionally stunted bullshit opinion
Or they could just not vote at all like most Americans
In a two party system, abstention is a vote for the person you hate most.
That is why you stop using that system on the first place.
If most third party voters or vote boycotters were actively working on, in one way or another, opening avenues for ending the two party hegemony, I'd be all ears. But as it stands most are just being idealists and hoping that works out for them.
If only.
I agree and I always vote
Where did they say who they were voting for instead?
They didn't. Most people don't understand the concept that politicians should earn your vote by their own merits, not just against the worse option of their competitor. Refusing to vote for a candidate who goes against your best interests is a part of your civic duty, even if the alternative is no better.
I totally agree.
There will never be a candidate that exactly matches your best interests. You need to consider the overall and cast yourself your vote for the one who comes closest to your interests.
It doesn't have to exactly match, but there should be enough overlap that you don't feel as though you're just supporting the 'lesser oppressor.'
Unfortunately, most people like being oppressed or controlled so we don't get any politicians that fight back against it.
Not to mention Trump or any of the republican contenders would be far more extreme on middle east issues.
Totally agree with you. I'm impressed with Biden's strategy. This is what expert diplomacy looks like. The US is acting like a true friend to Israel by supporting them while also moderating their thirst for revenge, which of course also helps the Palestinians and may prevent the wider Middle East from escalating into a regional war. Biden may be old, but he actually learned something about statecraft during all those years in politics.
