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.

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).
