    No politician is going to bend their policies for the population that doesn’t vote.

    For so long, boomers had the majority of sway with politicians because they had the highest percentage of voter participation.

      But we DO vote. American Muslims actually have been a reliable Democratic voting bloc since 2004 and since we are a more educated and more wealthy community than the average American we also have been reliable democratic donors. Why the party under Biden has gone out of its way to avoid us is just horrifying.
