Muslim and Arab Americans say their support was critical to Biden’s winning Michigan in 2020. Some warn they won’t back him again over his blanket support for Israel.

They didn’t. Most people don’t understand the concept that politicians should earn your vote by their own merits, not just against the worse option of their competitor. Refusing to vote for a candidate who goes against your best interests is a part of your civic duty, even if the alternative is no better.
I totally agree.
There will never be a candidate that exactly matches your best interests. You need to consider the overall and cast yourself your vote for the one who comes closest to your interests.
It doesn’t have to exactly match, but there should be enough overlap that you don’t feel as though you’re just supporting the ‘lesser oppressor.’
Unfortunately, most people like being oppressed or controlled so we don’t get any politicians that fight back against it.
