        Politicians don’t run the US. Corporations do. The reason US funding continues is because the military industrial complex is making bank — stealing billions of dollars from the people to genocide brown people is win-win for the sociopath oligarchs that own these corporations.

      Unfortunately that’s only like 1% if not less. Not that voting is an effective vehicle change on its own anyways.

        Muslim votes are what can prevent him from winning states like Michigan. Percentage of the popular vote doesn’t matter, the electoral college does.

      He knows they have no choice. If its not him, it would be Trump. Since people in Gaza have little money, Trump wouldnt care if IDF wipe them out

          As horrifying as that would be, I do feel a little sexual tension at the thought of all those smug liberals being murdered by the fascists they were upholding thinking that they could keep them under control just enough to murder the left, but not them.

        That’s true but that’s not stopping Muslims (particularly in Michigan) from running dropping Biden, or even voting for Trump, campaigns. The idea is to show Biden that they’re not all talk, but either way his reaction tells us he doesn’t “know” anything.

      Not defending Biden, but seriously if you were a Muslim voter would you rather vote for Trump then? I can only assume he isn’t very popular with those voters either, so they are left with very little choice and not voting for Biden is more or less the same as voting for Trump.

        Maybe

        Imran Khan was “coincidentally” able to gain a majority in Pakistan after 20 years trying with his party. He wasn’t perfect, but he targeted a lot of corruption and revamped the economy by convincing big companies to enter and expand business there, especially in the tech sector.

        He had decent relations with the USA because Imran Khan met Trump several times long before he became president, probably due to his status as a cricket captain.

        Then Trump got replaced for handling covid like a [insert favorite insult], and magically Imran Khan and the USA became cold again just like Obama. Biden outright refused to talk to IK and kept sending his defence secretary to demand US bases in Pakistan while leaving Afghanistan.

        Then the moment IK showed a hint of resistance, they told the army to get rid of him or face consequences. Now he’s sitting in jail, banned from being shown or mentioned on TV, banned from direct internet access, and banned from having his party run in elections. Oh and several of his party members are dead, hundreds if not thousands tortured, and internet cuts with police deployments whenever his supporters try to rally together.

        Naturally the economy self destructed, every corrupt politician came back since they’re in bed with the army, and elections were unconstitutionallly delayed for an entire year (and just happened 2 weeks ago).

        So a Muslim nation of 231 million suffered because the USA loves “spreading democracy” by approving coups and getting people killed all because they dared to have sovereignty.

        Except magically it only happened under Biden and not Trump.

        So yes. There is a pretty good chance Muslims will vote for Trump.
