Vulnerable Groups Need to Support Biden [View all]

I'm a 71-year-old retired, married, childless, heterosexual male living most of the year out of the United States. I mention this because there's really not a lot of downside at stake for me, personally, if Trump becomes President. The reason I'm for Biden is that I still love the United States and I love our Democracy. I also believe that Biden is a capable and good man.

However, I've been reading some disturbing news lately and some concerning polling data. Support for Biden is off nearly 20% among African Americans (mostly among male voters). Young people have dropped nearly an equal amount. Muslims and Arab American voters are down nearly 40 points, due to Biden's support for Israel.

I can't think of 3 groups more at risk of a Trump 2024 victory than those listed above. If Trump wins and the inevitable harm comes to these 3 groups, they will have only themselves to blame if they continue to fail to understand what a binary choice is.
