The Abandon Harris movement that sprouted late last year out of the widespread outrage over the Biden-Harris administration’s support for the ongoing Israeli war on Gaza has officially endorsed the Green Party’s Jill Stein for US president.
The endorsement is the first of its kind for Stein and the Green Party, with the Abandon Harris campaign being the first major Muslim-led political group to endorse her campaign this election cycle. Last month, a smaller group, the Muslim American Public Affairs Council NC, also endorsed Stein.
“We are not choosing between a greater evil and a lesser evil. We are confronting two destructive forces: one currently overseeing a genocide and another equally committed to continuing it. Both are determined to see it through,” the Abandon Harris campaign said in a statement released on Monday.
Can’t wait for tolerant liberals to go full mask off and claim these Muslims just must not be smart enough to realize the threat of Trump… Again.
One of said liberals is malding at me right now for pointing out that they are being blatantly racist.
You don’t think Trump is going to be infinitely worse than Harris on this issue in particular?
Being murdered in a genocide seems about as worse as it can get. Would Trump reanimate the corpses and then murder them again or something?
It doesn’t get worse than being genocided, is the point these people are making.
Both Harris and Trump, equally think Muslims and other unwanted statistically brown people deserve to be subject to genocide and are willing to commit massive amount of funds to that end.
Absolutely not. Historically, the DNC and GOP are in lock-step for foreign policy.
I don’t think that’s entirely accurate.
Why not?
Because there are very clear differences between how the two parties handle foreign policy, for one thing.
Elaborate.
You really can’t see the differences?
Nope.

It isn’t that complicated. Read To Stop Marx, They Made Zion, the US supports Israel for economic reasons, hence why neither genocidal monster cares.
LOL… my work network blocks that site. To be expected, I suppose.
Haha, I wouldn’t make it a habit of accessing Communist sites on a work network
Meh. What are they gonna do? Fire me?
Realistically? Probably not, but it doesn’t help!
What the ever living fuck.
If Trump were doing it you might getout of your chair and materially oppose it rather than making excuses for an imagined lesser evil genocide.
So you want Trump in office because of that? You don’t care about anything else, I take it?
I think you should be against genocide and act accordingly rather than buying into the political illogic of your masters. A good start might be letting go of crutches like accusing everyone that calls out tacit support for Democratic genocide a Trump supporter.
You should be against genocide and act accordingly.
PS Krasinski is a scab and a big fan of the CIA.
I am against genocide, and I am acting accordingly. I am voting for the candidate that will cause less genocide, not more.
You’re announcing your vote for the people doing genocide. You don’t get to call yourself anti-genocide. You are for hypothetical-lesser-evil genocide. You do actual advocacy for people doing genocide.
You’d think that literal genocide might make Democratic voters question their electoral illogic around lesser evil cheerleading. You have the option of, for example, saying nothing.
In 1930s Germany you’d be a Nazi supporter saying, “well at least I’m not a monarchist antisemite”. Everyone imagines themselves as people who would leave or fight. Now you can see, in part, where the reactionaries and their sympathizers found footing, because you’d have been among them.
No Trump will be exactly the same. Only the words will be different.
I do believe Jill Stein will be different though.
Jill Stein is literally a paid spoiler candidate who fails at even that.
So glad to hear you will be campaigning in your state for electoral reform! You wouldn’t point out the flaws of First past the post voting and then do nothing to solve the issue would you? Democrats believe in democracy, so it should be a easy sell. Looking forward to your updates!
Absolutely! I’ve been advocating for ranked choice voting and similar methods for years. But until we get people into office who are sympathetic to that idea, these efforts will go nowhere.
We are not Europe. Our coalitions come together before the election.
Liberals sure seem to be worried people who don’t support Genocide are going to vote for her enough to launch a massive smear campaign.
No, we just want your vote to counter the literal fascists who are poised to take over the United States and have an exact plan this time. (Project 2025).
Great so you’re not voting for Genocidal Democrat Fascists then but Jill Stein.
Why would I risk the actual neo Nazis gaining power?
Indeed glad you’re not voting Democrat or Republican.
