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.

    You’re smarter than this childishly short-sighted take.

    Stein can’t win. You know this.

    The only thing it will do it split the non-GoP voters as their loyalty takes a back seat to their principles.

    The candidate who can be swayed after the election doesn’t win. The candidate with a stated goal of increasing genocider support wins.

    Congratulate yourself.

    Why would you suggest such a thing when you know better? Magical thinking? Bad math skills? Payola?
