“We recognize that, in the next four years, our decision may cause us to have an even more difficult time. But we believe that this will give us a chance to recalibrate, and the Democrats will have to consider whether they want our votes or not.”

That’s gotta be one of the strangest reasonings I’ve heard in a while.

    Be nice if the leaders endorsed third parties instead of just going anti-democrat. Gotta give people the alternative and keep that vote relevant.

      Voting third party or sitting at home is the same damn thing when it comes to effecting the outcome of the election.

        With the electoral college, going to vote is the same as not voting in the vast majority of places with regards to the federal elections.

          Michigan, which contains a lot of Arab Americans, is one of those places where votes very much do matter.

          Indiana went for Obama in 2008. Don’t make assumptions.

            Reagan got almost every electoral vote in 84, with the exceptions of Minnesota and DC. But in landslide wins, your vote matters even less.

              Ok then I guess never vote. Problem solved. You do you.

        Not trying to get the votes of people whose votes you need is dangerous negligence.
