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.

    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.
