    The values of Muslim voters don’t even necessarily align with Democrats anyways, since alot of Muslims are pretty hardcore against LGBTQ+ and place a greater emphasis on religious values than most Democrats would probably prefer (though obviously there’s going to be exceptions). Democrats are more welcoming of Muslims though, just due to a more accepting attitude towards immigrants in general. The Democratic leadership is oddly still Pro-Israel, despite most Democrats probably being against the genocide.

    If not for the white nationalist racism and Islamophobia of the Republican party, Muslims would probably be more at home with them (similar to Latinos), but most Republicans probably hate their guts and wouldn’t have a problem bombing Muslim countries or letting all Palestinians die.

    So Muslims in general in the US don’t really have great options if Israel/Gaza is their main issue.

    “Harris with 3x the support among Muslim voters vs Trump” is another accurate way to report the results of this poll.

    Political parties shouldn’t cater to religious groups, period.

    Democrats clearly dont give a fuck about their concerns, so they should abandon the party. If the DNC wants to openly cater to right wing voters then any left leaning voters should abandon them as well.

      The Dems don’t care about me personally either, but I can recognize how to prioritize self-preservation over a single wedge issue, no matter how close I am to that issue.

      Trump would gladly deport every Muslim and close down every mosque, but nah let’s play with this election like toddlers fighting over a toy because of some stuff happening on the other side of the planet.

        If a person’s concern about human rights stops at the US border they don’t care about human rights, but of protecting their status and privilege.

        While liberals are concerned about the possibility of a Muslim ban they ignore an actual genocide that’s going on at the hands of they people they support.

        Minimizing genocide as ‘some stuff’ is the same as Holocaust denial.
