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.

    Is Harris going to implement RCV? If not your argument is a red herring.

    You know who is implementing RCV? Jill Stein.

      No she’s not - she’s a physician, not a legislator. She’s not implementing anything except (hopefully) health care for her patients. She’s promising to make RCV a political priority, but even if elected, the president doesn’t write the laws.

      And that even if is doing some heavy lifting, because it’s impossible for her to get enough votes (50.01%, because a plurality goes to the legislators to decide) to win.

      What she can do, is syphon enough votes from from Harris to hand the country back to Trump (who I promise you will not solve the problem of genocide in Palestine), which is why the RNC and hostile foreign powers love to prop her up

        I’m sorry you forgot to mention the part where Harris will do that. Can you link it to me? Or is everything pretending to debunk voting for Stein red herrings?

      I think that’s a Congressional thing, not a President one. But I’m sure she’s promising it. Correct me if it’s something that a President can declare as an executive order, but that wasn’t my impression.

      Btw, I think the way to get RCV federally is to make it statewide, and that’s started already, plus there’s a bill in Congress for the second time.

        But I’m sure she’s promising it.

        She’s not, you have been gaslighted. Harris released her platform already there’s no RCV in there.

          I didn’t clarify. I was talking about Jill Stein. She has a lot of promises on her website.

            Ah yes Jill Stein has indeed.

            In case it was not clear yet, the surpreme court has confirmed that president can do whatever they want as long as it’s an “official order”.

            They can have the all of the Supreme Court judges be assassinated and appoint whomever they want to the position. They can add surpreme court positions.

            The. President. Can. Do. Whatever. They. Want.

            Just ask Genocide Joe what happened when the Republicans blocked him from sending weapons to israel to force him to accept a border wall deal. Genocide Joe and Holocaust Harris found a way to keep sending israel those weapons and keep committing Genocide.
