    The problem is you tend to act like conservatives, you don’t seem to share any of our values. You’re only dem because the repubs hate you and want you all dead, and we don’t. You do not seem to share our values though, you’re willing to do whatever it takes to achieve your goals and that is antithetical to us.

    If you could acknowledge nuance and admit to your own wrongdoing in the Middle East, and not spout lies like “we always support democrats” just because it’s convenient to you, this might change. But if you act like republicans, you’re going to struggle in our tent. It has nothing to do with your ethnicity or religion, just your atrocious behavior. If you want less condescension, speak and act with honor. Acknowledge complexity and nuance, own up to it when you do something wrong instead of always trying to be the victim, just like they do.

      And there’s the racism and Islamophobia coming out. Don’t share any of your values? How out of touch with the community are you? Majority of American Muslims believe in LGBT rights in polling and support abortion. We talk with plenty of nuance, which you’d know if you ever bothered to listen even once to our community, let alone the last 10 months where we were told to shut up because our mere existence somehow hurt Biden, who made his campaign detour around our communities and refused to be seen in public with us. This despite we were reliable donors to his campaign and celebrated that we got him elected by a narrow margin.

      I don’t have time to debunk your false stereotypes. You pretend to care about the plight and then go giving insults immediately after. Go talk with Muslims and Arab-Americans rather than talk about us and Othering us.
