Endorsement of Stein and Butch Ware comes as Muslims channel anger over US support for Israel into supporting third parties

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.

    No Trump will be exactly the same. Only the words will be different.

    I do believe Jill Stein will be different though.

        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.

        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!
