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.

    If Trump actually tries to do away with elections, you still wouldn’t lift a finger to stop him, just accept it and go on with your day. Genocide wasn’t enough to get you to abandon the DNC and GOP, so neither will Trump.

      Nah, if he does away with elections I’ll mail him a postcard that says “I vote for Jill Stein” - that’ll leave him quivering in his boots and solve everything.
