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.

    Ok so you don’t believe you’re spreading misinformation. You are, however, spreading information that seeks to undermine US government institutions.

    Sure, I hate the genocidal US Empire, and want Communism. That’s not “spreading misinformation.”

    We can debate all day, and both of us will be at least partially incorrect.

    Speak for yourself.

    Many of our problems can also be attributed to religious institutions

    Somewhat, but generally religious “values” mold to support the Mode of Production. Religion and culture are aspects of the Superstructure that reinforces the Base, ergo the core of the issue is Capitalism.

    There is one hill I’ll die on though: Trump is an evil bastard.

    Not once have I disagreed with that, I just extend that judgement to the US Imperial State, not Trump alone. Trump is only as powerful as he is because Capitalism is in decay, and fascism is Capitalism in decline. You can’t stop fascism without stopping Capitalism.
