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.

You don't think Trump is going to be infinitely worse than Harris on this issue in particular?

[-] CmdrShepard42@lemm.ee 17 points 9 months ago

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?

[-] basmatii@lemm.ee 12 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 10 points 9 months ago

Absolutely not. Historically, the DNC and GOP are in lock-step for foreign policy.

[-] GuyDudeman@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

I don't think that's entirely accurate.

Because there are very clear differences between how the two parties handle foreign policy, for one thing.

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.

[-] GuyDudeman@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

So you want Trump in office because of that? You don't care about anything else, I take it?

[-] TheOubliette@lemmy.ml 6 points 9 months ago

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.

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

I do believe Jill Stein will be different though.

[-] GuyDudeman@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Jill Stein is literally a paid spoiler candidate who fails at even that.

[-] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 5 points 9 months ago

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!

[-] GuyDudeman@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] GuyDudeman@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

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).

[-] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Great so you're not voting for Genocidal Democrat Fascists then but Jill Stein.

[-] GuyDudeman@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Why would I risk the actual neo Nazis gaining power?

[-] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Indeed glad you're not voting Democrat or Republican.
