Can someone please identify a few "Muslim issues" that are ignored by Democrats? I can't seem to think of any political issues that could be considered "Muslim"
Yes.
Removing the Muslim ban (Biden delivered on this)
Civil Liberties for Muslim Americans (he won’t meet with Muslim rights groups like CAIR)
Prosecuting hate crimes against Muslims and mosques. (Biden only announced this month that he will get some experts together and make a new policy TBD. Not sure why he waited 3 years to announce he will start to deliver on a campaign promise…)
Evenhanded Israel-Palestine policy (he badly failed at this)
Support democracy in Middle East and Muslim majority countries (he’s failed at this)
Common tactic. Delay working on vote-winning issues until the end of the first term for that sweet, oh so sweet, double dip.
ya, just remember if Biden doesn't get in, the guy that unironically wants to send Muslims to camps will get in
no way to stop this says only country... oh no wait thats shootings.
what do you call a democratic system where you only have one choice?
see, you happen to be confusing having one not horrible choice with having no choice.
that is known as an ultimatum, which is indeed no choice at all
It's American "democracy" in action
Clearly we need a different system, because it's clear that Democrats will never make the types of change we need, and we sure as hell can't vote Republican
It's a farce
why are you relying on electoralism to enact change? no, you go out and vote every election so the least bad, and easier to work with government gets into power, not so you can sit back as they do everything
Why are you a liar? Let's start with that. I vote in every election, fuckwit. And the Democrats have consistently failed me.
even in a multi party system, why would there be multiple parties that have similar demands?
you also again forget that you have a choice of following through with an ultimatum
I appreciate this!
Not American
In Canada Muslims vote Conservative
Recently a Liberal visited a Mosque and covered her hair/dressed up for it
They booed her and told her that Muslims will never vote for a pro-gay candidate
We had a nationwide march against gays/trans called the one million march for children, Christian and Muslim leaders joined together to organize it
Yeah that one million march shit is fucked
Source? I can't find anything confirming what you've described.

“I believe (Crombie) should be only targeting LGBTQ votes. I can remember, though, the public statement Bonnie Crombie made about Haya day when we gathered to celebrate our pride about modesty and she sided with the LGBTQ community as if they are the only community worthy of celebrating pride, insulting the Muslim community who voted her to be a mayor of Mississauga.”
Thanks for your perspective!
Well many of them do seem to be pretty upset at the US giving military aid to Israel.
I completely overlooked that tbh, not my proudest moment.
