Muslim Americans voted overwhelmingly for Biden. But community leaders in swing states tell NBC News that the president's handling of the war in Gaza risks losing their support.
I never even implied it was great. Reality is often not great.
It’s great for the politicians who think they are in a position to demand unconditional fealty, and the people who matter to them. If the party doesn’t want people to act like they’re being taken advantage of, the party just has to stop taking advantage of people.
People who have never been betrayed by the party they vote for sure love to lecture people who have.
Excuse me, but you don’t know a fucking thing about me. As a disabled person, the Democratic Party betrayed me by not implementing single payer healthcare. You know what’s worse? Anything Trump has in mind. So no, I don’t like Democrats. I vote for them because the worst Democrat is better than the best Republican and those are the only two valid options right now.
You were talking to me. Sure seemed like you were talking about me. And I can’t know what someone else on the internet would consider a lecture, but it considering I’ve been told I was lecturing by writing a paragraph, I could very well have been lecturing you from your perspective.
Well then, I’m sorry your party betrayed you. I’m sorry they betrayed me, too.
It recently betrayed people who will withhold their votes because of that betrayal. I’m sorry it betrayed them too.
What do you suppose they thought was gonna happen if they kept betraying people? That everyone would be as willing to stick with people who betray them as you and I are?
The party is playing its voters for suckers, and never once imagined that this might make people less willing to participate in a system like that.
And if they are less willing to participate, Trump gets in. And it gets worse for them. So, as I said, not voting or voting for Trump is not going to help them. Feeling betrayed won’t change the fact that there are only two options and one is inherently worse than the other.
Oh, I thought my first comment to you was expecting you to run the entire Democratic Party because you knew that speculation was going to result in answers you didn’t want to say.

Wasn’t talking about you. Were you lecturing me?

Ok. Now that you’ve said the thing to someone who is already gonna vote the way you want, we’re still where we started.
No amount of wagging your finger at me is gonna change the political reality I described. The party betrayed them, and the party lost their votes.
Treating your constituents like hostages isn’t consequence-free.
Scolding me about it isn’t gonna change their minds, but I get the feeling that you’re gonna do it again anyway.
What the ever-living fuck? Your first comment to me was scolding and you haven’t stopped scolding me since. Would you like me to quote you?
My god, the hypocrisy of that.
Oh, I thought my first comment to you was expecting you to run the entire Democratic Party because you knew that speculation was going to result in answers you didn’t want to say.
Guess you stopped pretending.
