    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.

    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.
