GraceRandolph Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Muslim leaders announced on Saturday that they are going national with an effort to dissuade voters from reelecting President Joe Biden in 2024 due to his failure to call for a cease-fire in Gaza. The #AbandonBiden campaign officially began earlier in December, led by Muslim leaders in swing states like Michigan, Minnesota and Arizona, who disapproved of Biden’s support for Israel’s counterattacks against Hamas. More than 22,000 people have been killed in Gaza since the war began, according to the Hamas-run health ministry there. Now, the coalition intends to expand the pressure campaign to all 50 states. “We will save America from itself, by punishing Biden at the ballot box,” said lead organizer Jaylani Hussein in a statement. The Biden campaign did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The coalition plans to endorse an independent presidential candidate, Hussein told CNBC. He added that the campaign does not support former President Donald Trump, the current Republican frontrunner, though it is aware of the risks of depleting Biden’s voter base. “There is a likelihood that our votes may weaken the Democrats that the Republicans may win,” Hussein said. “We’re not fools about that.” The #AbandonBiden campaign is willing to take that risk, he said: “We will risk an unknown four years of Trump.” Trump’s track record on protecting Muslim freedoms does not garner optimism though and the former president has been vocal about his plans to pick up where he left off. Should Trump win a second term, he said he wants to reintroduce and expand his Muslim ban, which prohibited U.S. entry of people from seven Muslim-majority countries. Still, Biden’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war has been a blight to his reelection campaign so far, especially among key voter demographics that helped put him in office four years ago. Young voters sunk Biden’s approval rating to an all-time low in a November NBC poll, due centrally to his foreign policy actions in the war. And Muslim-Americans in battleground states, who helped win Biden his thin margin of victory in 2020, have said they would rather vote for a third-party candidate or not vote at all this time around. That is not exclusive to Muslim-Americans. An October Gallup poll found that a majority of voters are so dissatisfied with the Republican and Democratic parties that they think an independent party candidate is needed.

Reginald Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 When their options are either Joe or Donald "Muslim Ban" Trump, it wouldn't be surprising if they sit out this election. What a sad state of things. I hope Democrats can do something to win these people back, but I don't even know what that would entail. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they want Trump, but withholding votes is the only way to influence our leaders. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fijitears Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 So….instead of voting for another democrat, like potential popular candidate, RFK Jr, they’d rather sit out and/or elect someone who straight up hates them.

Popular Post Dali Posted January 4 Popular Post Share Posted January 4 I don't get everyone trying to shame them into electing biden simply because trump is trash as well, especially since alot of muslims are either palestianians themselves or are from countries that israel has bombed as well. You're basically going "i know this person is funding a genocide against your people and funding a terrorist state that bombs your countries whenever it feels like it, but you should definitely vote for him because the other option will do the same thing but is more openly racist towards you!!!" BOTH are extremely evil, and the most obvious thing would be to vote for neither seeing that none of them will actually fix anything. 20 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Communion Posted January 4 Popular Post Share Posted January 4 (edited) Joe Biden is single-handedly destroying the Democratic Party coalition despite Republicans being the weakest they've been locally in decades. Odd how people will somehow play coy and downplay how the DNC is letting Trump win. I remember when Sanders' weakness with a very niche demographic (older black voters in red states) somehow caused a media-endorsed coordinated campaign in the Dem Establishlment to "#StopSanders" on the claims Sanders winning the primary risked a Trump win yet Biden becoming unelectable and putting our democracy at risk is being met with the party gatekeepers and VBNMW partisans being silent. Are partisan Dems fine with Trump being elected? Edited January 4 by Communion 13 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're all garbage_cans_racing.gif This same man was rambling and spreading antisemitic theories claiming that the COVID-19 virus was engineered to spare Ashkenazi Jews only a few months ago mind you. I'm not sure wether some of you are not reading or being purposefully dense, but not voting for Biden does not automatically mean they are voting for Trump. Staying home is an option.

Gov Hooka Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 This thread already filled with typical disgusting white liberals who don’t give a crap about Palestinian lives making snide remarks demeaning this campaign instead of actually questioning what Biden should do to get these voters back… If this is how callously his supporters act then why should those of us against this genocide be in a coalition with them. I hope Biden loses and will do everything I can grassroots-wise here in Michigan to make this filthy war criminal a one term president. 12 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBeMe Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 The Muslim population in the Us is pretty small relative to the overall population. This won’t matter much. The only state where it could make a tiny difference is Michigan but even then lots of Muslims are thinking about the alternative and that’s Trump which is 10x worse for Muslims both domestically and internationally so idk. Either way it’s a tough situation. America’s two party system really stinks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's *their* religion making them feel unable to vote for a candidate who believes 22,000 Palestinians deserve to be slaughtered and that Zionism is part of a greater Christian - not Jewish - prophecy related to Biden's faith. 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveisdead9582 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 … I’m not a big Biden lover myself but we know that trump will be a terror and he won’t support them either. Another Muslim ban will be enacted within the first couple of months 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
