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.

    Is Harris going to implement RCV? If not your argument is a red herring.

    You know who is implementing RCV? Jill Stein.

      I think that’s a Congressional thing, not a President one. But I’m sure she’s promising it. Correct me if it’s something that a President can declare as an executive order, but that wasn’t my impression.

      Btw, I think the way to get RCV federally is to make it statewide, and that’s started already, plus there’s a bill in Congress for the second time.

        She’s not, you have been gaslighted. Harris released her platform already there’s no RCV in there.
