I am a Palestinian American in Pennsylvania, a contested state. I plan to write in “uncommitted” in the Democratic primary on 23 April and in November, I will vote for a third-party candidate.

For many, myself included, a vote for Biden is simply impermissible – the extent of the moral calamity is so great as to render a vote for Biden a vote for complicity.

As the president of the Center City mosque in Philadelphia, Mohammed Shariff, said to me: “My vote is the purest form of expression and speech.” President Biden ignores our voices at his own peril, and ours.

    There it is. Both sides-ing a genocide. I suspect most of you Blue Maga folks don’t actually care about the Palestinians, which is why it’s so easy for you to make the “lesser evil” argument.

      Why is it that everyone who opposes you is Maga? Idiot. I’m more left wing than you’re ever willing to go. I’ve been protesting before you were born.

      Sometimes (most of the time) both sides are bad. I’ve lived it, I’ve grown up in war instead of comfort like you. I grew up with bombs falling, not playing Nintendo all day like you. Netanyahu is bad, so is Hamas, get rid of them both. Just because you hate Israel (certain Israelis, not the Arab ones) doesn’t make Hamas the good guys they aren’t. Hamas leaders are wealthy and don’t like in Palestine by the way. Educate yourself
