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.

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.
