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?

[–] CmdrShepard42@lemm.ee 13 points 1 week ago

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.

It isn't that complicated. Read To Stop Marx, They Made Zion, the US supports Israel for economic reasons, hence why neither genocidal monster cares.

LOL... my work network blocks that site. To be expected, I suppose.

Haha, I wouldn't make it a habit of accessing Communist sites on a work network

[–] GuyDudeman@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Meh. What are they gonna do? Fire me?

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

Realistically? Probably not, but it doesn't help!

[–] GuyDudeman@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't think that's entirely accurate.

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.

No Trump will be exactly the same. Only the words will be different.

I do believe Jill Stein will be different though.
