“We recognize that, in the next four years, our decision may cause us to have an even more difficult time. But we believe that this will give us a chance to recalibrate, and the Democrats will have to consider whether they want our votes or not.”
That’s gotta be one of the strangest reasonings I’ve heard in a while.
“But they are thinking long term”
Yes, I’m sure a second Trump presidency will be just great for democracy and Muslims in the long-term.
I agree, probably wouldn’t be. Couple that with all of the other threats to our world that Trump poses and “we’re not happy with Biden’s Israel/Palenstine issue so we’re pulling support” seems incredibly stupid to me.
But the poster implied they were supporting Trump, when they pretty clearly said they do not. Right there in the excerpt from the article. And it’s still being upvoted. It’s kind of embarrassing, actually, how little people had to read what is right in front of them to not be wrong on this point. . .and it’s still a popular opinion getting upvotes.
In a two-party system, refusing support to one party is effectively supporting the other. It’s not an insane thing to accuse people of, regardless of what they say.
If you check out the research work done by the political compass, you see it’s actually a one party system wearing a two party outfit.
Oh, lord.
