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.

      If Jill Stein got elected and pulled out of NATO she would be the best US President in history for the Global South. Anyone who understands and agrees with ACAB but supports NATO has no idea about how Capitalism and by extension Imperialism functions.

        Considering being in NATO protects countries from a Russian land grab like what happened in Ukraine, being part of NATO is antiimperialism.

        Russia is genociding Ukrainians. They are also torturing, raping, and murdering POWs, women citizens, and children.

      I just wish we had STAR voting so additional candidates wouldn’t increase the risk of Trump winning the election. So many people are either blind to the present danger or they spread misinformation because they hate the US.

        Do you believe that third party voters could be perfectly rational and not spread misinformation?

            Is Communism a “disastrous outcome” in your opinion, and genocide perfectly acceptable? You’re being vague yet still slandering.

              No. I believe you sincerely disagree with core tenets of US government and wish the government to be dismantled.

                Correct, that’s the best outcome for everyone the world over, including Americans.

                  You’re entitled to that opinion. That’s why I assumed you to be in the latter group.

                  I’m certainly wrong about plenty of things, but I have seen too much violence and hatred grow out of Trump’s first presidency. I do not share your desires for the US.

                    Trump didn’t cause it, decay in Capitalism did. Trump was just a symptom of the broader problem. I am not spreading misinformation nor blind.

      Explain why Jill Stein got cleared by the Senate Intelligence Committee. Or can you only link a 10 year old picture over and over again? Would be great if you had anything less than 10 years old :)

      Try not to project Kamala Harris being an israeli agent on a third party against Genocide.
