Who you gonna vote for, Republicans?
Who you gonna vote for, Republicans?
Who you gonna vote for, Republicans?
Who are they going to vote for in what is effectively a two-party system, the Republicans with a sizeable group of Christo-fascists?
They'll get even worse than ignored, they'll be targeted.
3rd party 2024
3rd party has always been a guise to pull votes from Democratic candidates.
Giant asteroid 2024
Ever wonder why Steve Bannon is working so hard to recruit 3rd party candidates?
Tell me you don't understand math & game theory without telling me you don't understand math & game theory.
And that's how you effectively voted for whichever of the 2 parties you hate least.
Can't happen until you change the legislatures to 5 member proportional districts and the single-seat offices to something like approval voting (or any other voting system where it's safe to give your favorite maximum support).
What should Democrats be doing for black voters that they aren't?
reparations for slavery, strengthening the right to vote and making it easier to access polls, outlawing the death penalty, abolishing prisons, removing the clause in the 13th amendment that allows for legal slavery, abolishing the police or at the very least force them to have oversight, banning AI for use in law enforcement, etc.
Reparations seems like a nonstarter but the rest of these are happening, to various degrees, at the state level in blue states
Thanks for the thorough list, that all seems like good stuff to me except I'd prefer reforming prisons and making them like the Nordic model instead of abolishing them.
Reparations: what’s your suggested plan for this?
Can't tell if /s
There is a national black caucus that pretty well represents current black American issues before each election.
Muslim Americans are going to be so shocked when Trump strips their citizenship & expels them from the country of their birth.
It can happen here.
You guys seriously need to start talking about getting rid of your two party system
The #GOP is outlawing other methods of voting, so good fucking luck with that if you're going to support Trump by staying at home.
Their choice remains: getting beaten up, deported or killed or just getting their issues ignored
Can someone please identify a few "Muslim issues" that are ignored by Democrats? I can't seem to think of any political issues that could be considered "Muslim"
Yes.
Removing the Muslim ban (Biden delivered on this)
Civil Liberties for Muslim Americans (he won’t meet with Muslim rights groups like CAIR)
Prosecuting hate crimes against Muslims and mosques. (Biden only announced this month that he will get some experts together and make a new policy TBD. Not sure why he waited 3 years to announce he will start to deliver on a campaign promise…)
Evenhanded Israel-Palestine policy (he badly failed at this)
Support democracy in Middle East and Muslim majority countries (he’s failed at this)
ya, just remember if Biden doesn't get in, the guy that unironically wants to send Muslims to camps will get in
Not sure why he waited 3 years to announce he will start to deliver on a campaign promise…
Common tactic. Delay working on vote-winning issues until the end of the first term for that sweet, oh so sweet, double dip.
I appreciate this!
Not American
In Canada Muslims vote Conservative
Recently a Liberal visited a Mosque and covered her hair/dressed up for it
They booed her and told her that Muslims will never vote for a pro-gay candidate
We had a nationwide march against gays/trans called the one million march for children, Christian and Muslim leaders joined together to organize it
Well many of them do seem to be pretty upset at the US giving military aid to Israel.
I completely overlooked that tbh, not my proudest moment.
It occurred to me after I posted this that depicting "black voters" in a meme with a noose might be insensitive. What do you guys think? Did I do a racism?
given that it's a very widespread meme format used exactly the way this meme presents itself, any meaning along those lines are incidental and not intended. Personally I give it a pass, though it's possible there are people that don't think the same and find it offensive
Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.
votes democrat for house and senate, votes republican for president
At least I get to see them fight each other while I get screwed over regardless
Also its funny because iirc most polls and studies have shown that Muslims are still equally split between both parties anyway.
False. Been an American Muslim voter for 20 years, and majority of American Muslims have voted Democratic ever since 2004 when they wanted to send a message to Bush. Since then you haven’t seen an election with Democrats getting less than 70% of the American Muslim vote.
I don’t know where you think or heard that Muslims are split, but that’s simply false and you can check exit polling in every US election since 2004 if you don’t believe me.
Same in the UK with Labour ayylmao
Black folks aren't marching in anti gay parades (see comment below).
So I feel like it's kinda unfair
All Abrahamic religions are very conservative. Hardcore Muslims share more values with hardcore Christians than with progressive liberals.
Problem is the xenophobia.
That's another value they share.
Sure, but most Muslims in America are not hardcore. The average Muslim American is significantly more liberal than the average white person.
Idk about that one champ
Thats so hyperbolic it would be funny if I didn't think you were serious
Not true.
In the US, Jews and Muslims vote Democrat. Over 50% of American Muslims believe LGBT Americans deserve equal rights as everyone else; meanwhile only 15% of Pentecostal Christians agree.
Why would you compare Muslims to Pentacostal Christians specifically?
Hardcore meaning fundamentalist types. Not sane people.
I don't think the current shitstorm has anything to do with hardcoreness.
Is that a joke?
WHAT THE FUCK IS UP, DENNY's?!?
