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?
What the ever living fuck.
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?
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.
Absolutely not. Historically, the DNC and GOP are in lock-step for foreign policy.
I don’t think that’s entirely accurate.
Why not?
Because there are very clear differences between how the two parties handle foreign policy, for one thing.
Elaborate.
You really can’t see the differences?
No Trump will be exactly the same. Only the words will be different.
I do believe Jill Stein will be different though.
Jill Stein is literally a paid spoiler candidate who fails at even that.
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.
So you want Trump in office because of that? You don’t care about anything else, I take it?
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.
