It is amazing Muslims ever voted for Dems after 9/11 proved the entire democratic party leadership was just as bigoted as Republicans. Hopefully Dems go the way of the whig’s and we can get some new parties.

I thought the same when the nut jobs of the Tea Party started tearing the Rs apart…guess what happened?
The thing is the tea party was the same as the Republican party. Both were nationalist ultra capitalists that believed money should buy power. Democrats are the same, really.
Any left wing thought, is entirely different from either of the major parties. There’s not really a way to pacify it.

Dems are the party of complicity.
The tea party though gave validation to the conspiracy theorists and unmasked the supremists.

Really not the right take to say “we lost the Election because of Muslims not voting for Kamala”.
- It was not just Muslims who did not turn out to vote. It was a large list of different demographics. Some demographics were explicitly shown to having turned out more in order to vote for trump. Of any demographic, Muslims and Arabs were the groups who had probably the best reasons not to vote (islamophobia on both sides and our nation actively propagating a genocide of Arabs regardless of the political party in power)
- While we’re focusing on the demographics which did or didn’t show, it’s still a massive issue that the majority of Americans don’t vote, period.
- focusing on this failure as a point of anger and choosing only to blame a group you have no control over has zero value. You either need to either put your eyes forward to prepare for what comes next, or analyze what you could have done better in order to improve your own actions for next time. If there is ever a time for stoicism, it is now, right before the oncoming crisis.

Liberals attempt to not fantasize about genocide: impossible edition.
