FWIW that video is heavily edited, and the campaign released a statement that a group, including those women, were refused entry because they were disruptive at previous events.

Now, I think Kamala and Biden deserve the protests, and they should be doing something, anything, to end the genocide in Gaza.

But it's a political rally. If you protest at one of these, they're not going to let you into the next one. It has nothing to do with your religious headwear or islamophobia or sexism or terrorism. Claiming discrimination when there isn't any is disingenuous and counterproductive. It lends credence to the people who dismiss legitimate complaints of discrimination.

Ah, should’ve stuck to “free special zones” or entered nonsense they’re calling it now.

How do you tell that the video is heavily edited?

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

I watched the version in the article.

This is very much US-internal news.

Been a lot of going backwards as of late.

Looks like we’re going back to the widely accepted Islamophobia from the early 2000s. We have learned nothing.

Did we ever leave those days?

[–] forgotmylastusername@lemmy.ml 7 points 9 months ago

We forgot for a while because the zeitgeist went back to the geopolitics of "Russia and China bad".

Everything we were told Trump will do, Biden is doing. Including cutting financial support to the UNRWA.

Until we drop First Past the Post voting for Ranked Choice, we will never be free of the regressive portions of the democratic party.

TO BE CLEAR: This isn't a 'both sides' argument. Only one party tried to overthrow a legal election by force.

That said, voting blue is only necessary because we realistically have no other choice under our current voting structure.
