Abandon Harris endorses Green Party's Jill Stein
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.
Voting for Stein in a FPTP voting system doesn't solve the problem that's been turned into a one issue campaign slogan. Even if she was the perfect candidate. The only realistic option is to try and change the stance of one of the two that can win the election, and out of those two choices, suddenly who to vote for is obvious. If it wasn't already.
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.
This doesn't make sense. How could the "Abandon Harris" movement start late last year when Harris wasn't even the candidate?

Because your vote barely matters and, if you're not in a swing state, it doesn't matter at all.
