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.
You're viewing part of a thread.
Elaborate.
You really can’t see the differences?
Nope.
Well then you are blind.
Give me an example or explain yourself without resorting to insults, please.
It literally just a DuckDuckGo search away, my friend, if you really want details.
But here’s the first article that I found for you and some highlights: https://www.politico.eu/article/united-states-divide-foreign-policy-democrats-republicans/
Actual survey noted in the article: https://globalaffairs.org/research/public-opinion-survey/americans-goals-us-foreign-policy
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.
You don’t think that the parties are formed by the voters and participants in the process?
Nope. Political parties often have outward facing messages for their voters, but their actual policy is driven by their donors.
Absolutely. But the party itself is made up of regular people who got involved on the local level first, in their local parties.
Don’t you want to change the party? Or are you content to sit back and do nothing except help the actual, unapologetic nazis gain power?
The party is a filter, the higher you are allowed to go the more you have to serve the interests of the donors. The DNC cannot change as long as we remain a Dictatorship of the Bourgeoisie, there's no mechanism for it.
The way forward is to not goose-step with either genocidal party that represents the US Empire, but to organize outside it, like joining PSL or FRSO.
