    As a Muslim, I don’t blame anyone for abstaining. The choices were genocide or genocide+. Trump at least went to meet with some Mosque leaders in Dearborn Michigan. Kamala couldn’t even be bothered to do that.

    The Democrats demonstrably abandoned us to our faces. Trump at least acted like he was going to care (which anyone could tell you was a lie, but he did make a show of it).

    My parents, aunts, and uncles all seriously considered voting for Trump because we all felt abandoned by the Democrats.

    Don’t blame us, the Democrats abandoned us to our faces.

      And you thought a guy who fucked you over in his first term would be better than a Democrat? That is is Copium right there.

        I’m saying there were no good choices. So I don’t know why I’m responsible for the Democrats failure to be even decent.

          When faced with two bad choices at least choose the one that will do the least harm. While you are correct Democrat establishment failed here you can not rationalize any marginalized community justifying either voting for Trump or abstaining from voting based on Trump’s past actions or his links to fascist ideology found in documents like Project 2025.

            If you ask the rest of the world, the US has been a fascist country for most of the post war era.

            I also think the US hegemonic system produced this result. I think whatever Trump was going to do was inevitable because look at their opposition. The most milquetoast resistance imaginable.

            So people blaming minorities for not voting against Trump can suck my nuts. This was an inevitable consequence of the system America created. Y’all are mad that the US just took it’s mask off. I’m sick of Americans blaming everyone but themselves for the shit they put the world through.

              100% fascist, even before the world wars they were utterly terrible.

              The only difference I’ve ever seen between the two parties is one does better P.R., both actively make the world a worse place.
