Muslim Activists Lead 'Abandon Biden' Movement in 9 Swing States
[Breitbart] A national Muslim activist group called “Abandon Biden” is organizing operations in nine swing states to prevent President Joe Biden from winning reelection in November as punishment for his handling of the Israel and Hamas war, according to a report.

Minneapolis-based newspaper the Star Tribune reported Sunday of the group’s efforts to keep Biden from a second term, even if it results in a Trump presidency:

Abdel Salam, 48, is among a group of Muslim activists, including several Minnesotans, who are organizing in nine swing states in opposition to Biden’s re-election. The group’s leaders say they want to politically punish the president for what they describe as enabling mass civilian casualties in Gaza.

Salam, a University of Minnesota human rights professor, ditched the campus in April to help head up the movement.

The group prioritizes punishing Biden over preventing a second Trump presidency, the report indicates. Moreover, Salam told the Tribune a Biden loss over his Israel-Hamas policies would move the needle substantially in making the pro-Palestinian stance the mainstream view of the Democrat Party:

He said he and other Abandon Biden leaders are evaluating third-party candidates and plan to make an endorsement this summer. And if Trump wins because of their work, “the big gift that would come out of punishing the president is that an entire party … becomes a pro-Palestinian party against the occupation and will begin to look for equity much more aggressively than we have in the past,” Abdel Salam said.

The threat to Biden’s reelection bid over frustrations on the left among Muslims, Arab-Americans, young voters, and progressives has been well-documented throughout the election year. More than half a million Democrat primary voters protested Biden’s handling of the war and demanded a ceasefire by casting variations of “uncommitted” votes against him.

The Listen to Michigan campaign, which kicked off the movement, notes the threat to Biden is these voters would stay home in November, barring a major change in his policy. Despite Biden demanding a ceasefire in April from Benjamin Netanyahu and threatening to withhold weapons from Israel, the movement persisted in the Maryland Democrat primary on May 14, and with the November election less than six months away, he is running out of time.

While Maryland is not realistically in play for Republicans, the movement in Michigan and other swing states, where margins between Trump and Biden were tight in 2020, pose extreme danger for Democrats and Biden, especially as polling indicates Trump is already leading in many of these states.

The group’s website, Abandonbiden24.com, notes they are targeting Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

Jaylani Hussein, who serves on the national Abandon Biden board with Salam and three others, pointed to Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin as states where the Muslim vote can really influence the state’s electoral outcome.

“Our math right now shows really no pathway for Biden to win,” Hussein contended to the Tribune.

The report follows a recent New York Times/ Siena College poll showing that Trump has made groundbreaking inroads with Muslim and Arab-American voters in swing states. The poll found Trump was winning 57 percent of these voters to Biden’s 25 percent.
And he’s done so despite being openly and strongly pro-Israel. A lesson there, for those willing to learn it.
“Those who say they voted in the 2020 election reported backing Mr. Biden by a similar but opposite margin, 56-35,” Times Chief Political Analyst Nate Cohn reported on May 13. The poll sampled 4,097 registered voters between April 28 and May 9.

George Floyd should be alive....
Simple Logic dictates we are all created equal, and it is what we do with our lives usually results in what we achieve and gain in life.

George Floyd chose really badly many times over his life.

It seems since 2008 (Obama - Biden era) that the Black Voter community is wising up and more and more are voting with their eyes open and NOT Democrat.


Because many are now seeing the Democrat Party really just a new, updated vernier version of the pre-1965 (D) for controlling minorities to insecure political control.

#6  George Floyd is an avatar for "do what thou wilt," ie pure nihilism and atavism not just unimpeded by the state but actually subsidized by your tax dollars.

#8  What unmitigated fucking gall - Biden and his fellow Dems used him to ignite riots across the country and now we're supposed to feel pity for him? Fuck that noise.

#9  Aw jeez. Not this shit again.

#10  Yes he should be alive but Democrats refuse to secure the border and stop the flood of fentanyl into this country. Wonder why not?

#11  He chose to kill himself with drugs and did so. He was a worthless drain on society and anyone elevating him is f*ing evil.
Posted by: Silentbrick || 05/26/2024 15:35 Comments || Top||

#12  He died of po po with a fentanyl overdose co-morbidity.

The left would tell us "There's no death penalty for being black and on drugs."

Well. Alrighty then!

#14  Meanwhile in Medina

I'd venture that Muslim George Floyd,
By your "racism" much less annoyed,
Would've died in his bed...
With no hands and no head,
So, regrettably, still unemployed.

Charlie Kirk threatens legal action over Florida Democrat Party 'white supremacist,' 'anti-semite' smears
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] After the Florida Democratic Party labeled Turning Point USA CEO Charlie Kirk a "white supremacist, anti-semite" Kirk threatened legal action against the organization.

The Florida Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
made the accusation in a blurb labeled, "Breaking: Rick Scott accepts endorsement from white-supremacist, anti-semite Charlie Kirk."

After making the accusation against Kirk in reaction to his endorsement of the Florida senator for leader of the Senate GOP, Kirk shared it saying "Who thinks I should sue the Florida Democrat Party?"

Many reacted to the post in shock, saying that Kirk is very pro-Israel and suggesting the label was defamatory.

The blurb further added, "Just one day after formally launching his campaign for Senate Republican Leader, Rick Scott has proudly secured the endorsement of white supremacist and anti-Semite Charlie Kirk." They then said that TPUSA is a "far-right organization 'infested with anti-semitism.'" In contrast with the accusations, TPUSA hosts an annual Young Jewish Leadership Summit and Kirk has been vocal about his support for Israel.

"By courting Kirk and the far-right, Scott is demonstrating just how extreme he really is. Scott cares more about appeasing far-right extremists than serving Floridians," the blurb added.

The organization took a screen shot of Kirk posting the endorsement of Scott after the senator had been on Kirk's show.

"Sen. Rick Scott is a good man. He turned around many businesses. He turned around Florida as governor. He will turn around the US Senate, too," Kirk wrote.

To cite the accusations of antisemitism and white supremacy

...the pernicious doctrine that laws were intended to be obeyed, that society works better when people don't pour shreiking from their places of worship every Friday for a weekend of rioting over insults real or imagined; and that cannibalism, beastiality, incest, murder, theft, rape, and similar activities are bad. A Dead White European (which invalidates his opinion) philosopher once opined that societies thrive when a person's word can be relied upon, and that a society which puts individual happiness first will invariably fail. Strangely enough, other successful societies, such as China, Japan, Korea, and those kinds of places could also be lumped with white supremacist societies, since they push the same values...
, the Florida Democrats linked to a Rolling Stone article that claimed that Roseanne Barr denied the Holocaust. Barr had made a sarcastic comment in a viral clip that was deceptively edited, and taken out of context. She is Jewish herself and has spoken at TPUSA events. The article from the outlet also said TPUSA was antisemitic because Glenn Beck criticized George Soros
...either Ernst Stavro Blofeld or Auric Goldfinger come true...
