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.
Voting for Jill Stein somehow constitutes a revolution?
Nope, but it delegitimizes the Electoral system, abandoning Electoralism is important for revolution, as well as firmly standing against genocide.
It also makes sure women lose rights to thier bodies, immigrants get deported, homeless go to jail, gay rights get taken away, schools get refunded, LGBT+ rights get taken away, there’s more tax cuts for the rich, Christian ideology runs rampant, our allies distrust us again, …
But keep going on how genocide is the only problem
Already happening under the Democrats. The DNC isn’t protecting anyone at the Federal level. It’s usually lower level candidates that are doing more for marginalized groups because they are closer to their constituents.
Ohhhh. So, you don’t actually keep up with politics. You either just want to rant about stuff you don’t know or are a plant. Good to know know
I do keep up, mind offering an example? Harris is campaigning to the right of Trump in 2016 when it comes to immigration, as an example. I’m not a plant, nor am I ignorant, I’m just a Leftist.

This didn’t answer my question, it’s just a copy-pasted list. None of it is sourced either, it’s the gish-gallop tactic.
You do know computers have the ability to copy and paste? Hell you don’t even have to do that. You can just highlight a sentence, right click, and then left click the option that says Google this, it also works kinda the same way with phones too.
Or do you need someone to wipe your ass for you too?
Now you’re being rude for getting called out for gish-galloping, rather than actually answering the question at hand. I could have been rude too, but chose not to.
You said democrats do nothing to help the people. I gave you a list of ways that have helped people. If I’m gish washing your being willfully ignorant to everything that’s happening outside of Gaza.
Look dude, honestly since I’ve seen you around so much fighting for your side, there is nothing I can say that will sway you. There is also nothing you can say that will sway me. Let’s just call it’s quits here then, cause this is pointless
Maybe it does, but not in a “we’re going to fix this” kind of way, but in a “we’re going to hand the keys to the castle over to the self-proclaimed dictator who may try to abolish elections entirely” kind of way.
If that’s what you want, just vote for Trump, don’t play around with this third party BS.
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.
That would be more than you’ve done so far, I’ll give you that.
