You’d stop posting the minute everyone ignored you. Since you know the stakes of this election though, you know that won’t happen.

When you post articles that use data that is damn near a month out of date. Polls from August 25th? Or is it August 27th? Wasn’t that prior to the debate pounding that Harris gave Trump? On top of that where is this data from? What CAIR has posted at first glance does not include geographic breakdowns, so where did that data actually come from?

I didn’t write the Rueters news article. The date of the article shows “September 19, 20243:21 PM MDT.”

If you believe any part of the article is inaccurate, I encourage you to reach out to the news organization that published it.

Jill Stein doesn’t put in the efforts between presidential elections to promote her party or to get her candidates elected in local, state or federal elections.

She’s not for helping anyone besides herself and a majority of Muslim Americans realize this.

You just get that impression because the media isnt interested in her between elections. She continues having events and talks and doing political work.

How many people in her party are elected in local, state or federal governments?

You really cant be crusading against a party being elected and then try and complain that theyre not getting elected.

I didn’t write the title. I didn’t write the article. In fact, it’s a Reurters article. So please bring up your issues with them directly. Thank you!

1.34% of the American population, the third largest religion in the US behind Christianity and Judaism.

I’m also going to point out that voting based on what’s happening to people who share your religion in a foreign country is a TERRIBLE idea. If you make that your voting priority, it will bite you in the face in other aspects of your life because someone will exploit you for their own ends. The same is pretty much true for any single issue voter.

We’re all free to be stupid, but it probably won’t end well.

So I’ve been thinking, if I was in these folks shoes, what should I be doing?

I think the Uncommitted movement nailed it on the head: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/sep/19/harris-uncommitted-movement-declines-endorse

tldr - the stupid FPTP system in the US means we effectively are stuck between two candidates, GOP and Dem, and of the two, the GOP one would be much much worse. So without endorsing they still recommend voting for the Dem candidate for President - while also voting down the ballot for candidates who better represent their views (and might be able to make the future President listen or at least rein the President in - e.g. enough Dem House Reps might be able to table a future bill to increase arms sales to Israel).

The most useful thing individuals can do to change or enact specific policy is to get involved in party politics, because the party platforms are decided internally and either becoming a party delegate, or working to garner votes from delegates for particular policies actually works.

I feel like this is a part of what I said in the other comment on this post, about needing to build up from the grassroots. Agreed.

How about based on whats happening to people that dont share my religion? Because what is happening is so horrific it doesnt matter what group they belong to, it must be stopped.

When was the last time you posted about the other genocides going on? Do you even know which ones I’m talking about?

Or are you just following the social context around the Israel-Palestine conflict and ignoring the fact that there are multiple other major genocides occurring right now? One of them has had a few hundred thousand kids forcibly separated from their parents and sent to special boarding schools, the other is at almost a half million deaths, both dwarfing the scale of the Israeli-Palestine conflict by almost an order of magnitude.

How about them? Where’s the university protests? Where’s the demands for divestment? You haven’t even made a single comment or post about any of them from what I can see.

Nah, this one is the fad genocide to be all upset about right now.

The Muslim population in swings states is larger than the margin Biden won in 2020.

The Muslim population isn’t a single voting bloc, and a good chunk are still voting Democrat.

On the flip side, the Jewish population is almost twice the size of the Muslim population, so pissing them off is probably worse.

Any vote for Harris is taking a vote away from a third-party candidate and is giving it to Trump.

Nope. Every vote for Harris is stealing a vote from third-party candidates who represent real change. By sidelining those voices, you’re indirectly helping Trump win!

If you really want to avoid a Trump win, supporting a viable alternative outside the two-party system is the only way to push the conversation forward. :)

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
