'I will never vote Biden': Some Muslim Americans in a key swing state feel betrayed by the president
NBC News / Comcast ^ | October 21, 2023 | By Alex Seitz-Wald, Shaquille Brewster and Kailani Koenig

As President Joe Biden declared unwavering support for Israel in the days after Hamas’ terror attack in Israel, Ahmad Ramadan, a former Biden adviser now leading coalition efforts for the Michigan Democratic Party, called the state party chair to raise the alarm about what he was hearing.

Michigan has one of the largest Muslim and Arab American populations in the country, and they say their support for Biden was instrumental to putting him over the top in the critical swing state in 2020. But now, Ramadan and other Democratic leaders in the state were hearing nothing but frustration with Biden — and threats to not vote for him again.

Now, though, Muslim leaders are warning that Democrats risk losing their support, too, if Biden and the party do not do more to combat Islamophobia and address the pain many are feeling about the war in Gaza.

“Joe Biden has single-handedly alienated almost every Arab-American and Muslim American voter in Michigan,” said state Rep. Alabas Farhat, a Democrat whose district includes Dearborn, which is home to one of the largest Muslim and Arab American communities in the country.

Farhat said he has constituents and neighbors who have family members trapped in Gaza — including some who are American citizens — and they feel completely abandoned by the U.S. government for not doing more to help get them out, get aid in and pressure Israel for a cease-fire.

“The Biden administration and Democrats as a whole are going to have to do a lot of work to rebuild some level of trust with my community,” he said. “It’s never too late to do the right thing.”

Translation: Better be some BIG payouts/bribes to "my community (me and my friends)" real soon!

Conservatives constantly praise “diversity” and “legal” immigration by the millions, so enjoy the fruits of it.

Peak 1950s America just wasn’t good enough. “diversity” was just too important. So important, that 1950s America had to be destroyed and a new america built on top of it.

Good. The fewer votes he gets, the better, though I doubt they’ll run him. Michelle would probably bring them in by droves, even though she’s just an inferior woman.

He’s a crooked politician. The Jihad thought they had bought him but he didn’t stay bought.
