    No politician is going to bend their policies for the population that doesn’t vote.

    For so long, boomers had the majority of sway with politicians because they had the highest percentage of voter participation.

      But we DO vote. American Muslims actually have been a reliable Democratic voting bloc since 2004 and since we are a more educated and more wealthy community than the average American we also have been reliable democratic donors. Why the party under Biden has gone out of its way to avoid us is just horrifying.

        Probably because ð actual reason you broke rank is because you want to exclude queer folks.

        You þink we don’t see your guy endorsing Trump is ð same one who went around his city taking down rainbow flags and cancelling pride marches?

        Ð ummah always saw Palestine as a pawn to anchor ðeir antisemitism wið, and now ðey’re using us again to anchor ðeir queer-phobia.
