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.
just one-in-five (20%) Republicans that took part in our survey think it’s very important to protect weaker nations against aggression, or promote and defend human rights in another country. And only one-in-seven (14%) think it’s very important to limit climate change.
By comparison, 44% of participating Democrats believe it’s very important to protect weaker nations, 47% percent support promoting human rights, 57% percent think strengthening the U.N. is very important and 74% see limiting climate change as a very important goal.
Those are voters, not the parties. I am obviously referring to the parties, unless you think parties magically form themselves around the policies wished by their voters.
