I don't know where people are getting the idea that suddenly there's going to be a light bulb moment and the DNC establishment will just roll over

The 8 years of Obama gave rise to Trump and Sanders in 2016 to be fair. And there was enough energy behind a Bernie style message that it basically set the tone for the entire democratic party around healthcare at the very least.

Also I skipped the last 10 pages of this thread but Islam is a **** religion in general. There are exceptions but overall Islam is mostly just Arabs that actually still think Mosaic law is worth following.

Great post, some sense on here at last

There are very valid things to be considered when criticizing Islam. Xenophobia is undeniably often the driving force behind it, conservatives doing it are usually incredibly hypocritical about the whole thing, one should be careful about separating between a religion and the people practicing it etc.
But this outright denial of reality, that some liberals are exhibiting, is baffling.

It's not that baffling imo it's a mixture of being clueless (most are from places with no Islamic communities) and feeling like heroes for defending what they see as a 'victim' group.

Y'all genuinely don't see the subtext of both of you steepening in anti-Islamic rhetoric during the migrant crisis that's been going on in your countries for years?

I don't get singling out Islam like Christianity and Judaism aren't **** too.

Do I also need to throw in a blurb about mosquitoes if I bitch about roaches?

Nah it's not big enough to connect to Central America.
