    You’re scapegoating 40,000 people who have lost family members in the genocide for not voting for the killers and using Dearborn as a slur at this point. Less people voted for Trump there than the national average. Keep proving you’re a Nazi.

      Fuck the Nazis, but also fuck the conservative Muslims that can’t vote for a woman.

          Yeah she just made them by doing what exactly.
          Chosing the only possible winner over trump isn’t a hard choice…yes I can swallow current genocide for Gaza to possibly still exist in the future. You picked accelerated genocide.

        that can’t vote for a woman.

        That wasn’t the reason and others have already given you receipts. You just can’t stand that your genocide isn’t as popular with Muslims as it is with centrists.

          Fuck Isreal and what they did to the Palestinians. But I’m on the ground here and there were plenty of people that refused to listen to the words straight from Trump’s mouth. They held Muslims for Trump rallies. Their political and spiritual leaders told them to either vote for trump or abstain. They met with the man believing he would not only de-escalate but bring peace when he’s vehemently supported Isreal in the past. Complete stupidity and voting against their best interests. Now they live in fear of ICE stopping by their neighborhoods and sending naturalized citizens back, something unheard of before. Take some responsibility and make the necessary changes. I refuse to accept the Democrats going more conservative on things like gay and women’s rights. Either everyone has rights or no one does, and we are seeing the no one version right now.

            Democrats are already going conservative on trans rights and immigration. You at once condemn other minority populations for refusing to accept the Democrats going more conservative while declaring your own personal red lines.

            Your final declaration sounds like good principle, but if that were true we were already in the “not everyone has rights” category. It just sounds like you have the core rights that you feel that would be too far and then don’t allow other members of the coalition to have and value their own personal core rights.

            What did you expect would happen when centrists ditched the only common cause the party had with Muslims?

            Take some responsibility and make the necessary changes.

            Because the party never fucking will. Ever.

            I refuse to accept the Democrats going more conservative on things like gay and women’s rights.

            Remember that when they do. Because they absolutely will. Resist the temptation to just point to their opponent and excuse everything Democrats do on the grounds that Republicans are worse.

      “Not voting for the killers” is REALLY a stretch here.

      Honestly if Palestine is your one and only policy, not voting was the right choice.

      It was well known from Trump’s first term, and everything the man has ever said, that he would encourage attacks on Palestinians vs the Dems who simply stood by and let it happen.

      There’s a big difference between not voting for someone who won’t help and actually voting for someone who hates you and will unapologeticly help your enemy kill you.

        This isn’t what happened though. What we got was a vote between someone who will apologize while helping your enemy kill you, and someone who will help your enemy gleefully. The outcome is the same either way, one just has better optics.

        Not when you have first past the post voting. None of you actually realize you helped trump by voting 3rd party.

        A lot of Dearborn’s Arab population is Palestinian and Lebanese and had/have family at risk of being killed. You know when those 2,000 pound bombs get shipped to Israel they actually get dropped on people and kill them, right?
