Abandon Harris endorses Green Party's Jill Stein (www.middleeasteye.net)

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.

Now you're being rude for getting called out for gish-galloping, rather than actually answering the question at hand. I could have been rude too, but chose not to.

You said democrats do nothing to help the people. I gave you a list of ways that have helped people. If I'm gish washing your being willfully ignorant to everything that's happening outside of Gaza.

Look dude, honestly since I've seen you around so much fighting for your side, there is nothing I can say that will sway you. There is also nothing you can say that will sway me. Let's just call it's quits here then, cause this is pointless

You gish-galloped. I wanted a concrete example and you sent a tidal wave of unverified claims, we can't use that for discussion.

Look dude, honestly since I've seen you around so much fighting for your side, there is nothing I can say that will sway you. There is also nothing you can say that will sway me. Let's just call it's quits here then, cause this is pointless

That's fine, you're not going to be able to convince me to take an anti-Marxist position.

Cool. Woefully insufficient, not terrible. This is drops in the bucket of required protections, akin to a band-aid on a gaping wound.

I have repeatedly advocated for Revolution, do you think I believe the problems with the US can be solved at the ballot box?

However, if Claudia De La Crúz did manage to get elected, she would do better, yes.

28 million? That's pennies, this is just virtue signalling. The US has the power and resources to entirely solve substance abuse, but won't.

You do know he doesn't get to just do everything he wants right? He was blocked by Republicans every step of the way

You're really showing your ignorance here

It's Kabuki Theatre, lol. Biden serves the interests of the DNC's donors, not the public.
