Endorsement of Stein and Butch Ware comes as Muslims channel anger over US support for Israel into supporting third parties

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.

    I voted for Howie Hawkins last time, certain in the knowlege that Biden would win, Trump would go to jail, and we could hold Biden’s feet to the fire.

    January 6th, and all the related bullshit that’s followed, showed me that I had made a huge mistake and just got lucky when it comes to the MAGA-crowd’s coup competence. I will not make that mistake again, not in this election anyways.

    “Abandon Harris” is a shit campaign name. Self-aware guilt, right in the name.

      Biden won. Trump is not in Jail. Biden and Harris are committing Genocide.

      I’m not sure where you “realized you were wrong”. If anything you were right to vote for Howie.

        Trump isn’t in jail due to his sabotaging the judicial aparatus while in office and the clear threat his voters demonstrate. They have shown themselves to be a credible threat to democracy. I was very wrong, while you and apparently nine others misread my comment

        Seriously, do you expect me to lay Trump’s on-going freedom, and the January 6th bullshit, at Biden’s feet? Biden isn’t even running now.
