“After extensive consultation, discussion, and deliberation, the American Muslim 2024 Election Task Force has decided to encourage American Muslims to vote for any presidential candidate of their choosing who supports a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and a US arms embargo on the Israeli government, such as candidates Dr Jill Stein, Dr Cornel West or Chase Oliver,” read the statement, obtained by Middle East Eye.
The statement was written by the American Muslim 2024 Election Task Force, an umbrella group formed this year that consists of a number of prominent Muslim organisations including the political arms of Americans for Justice in Palestine (AJP), Cair, and the US Council of Muslim Organizations.
“We cannot endorse Vice President Kamala Harris’ candidacy because of her refusal to even consider imposing the arms embargo on the Israeli government required by US laws and her failure to promise any other changes whatsoever to President Biden’s failed policy of steadfast financial, diplomatic and military support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza,” the statement read.
Both candidates are shit, one is way worse
Do what you want, obviously, it’s just stupid in my opinion to enable the worst possible choice directly or indirectly. Unless you don’t live here, then I guess it matters less, maybe not at all… except if you’re Greenland and trump tries to buy you again, then you’re screwed 🤷♂️
There is always one that is “way worse” to one side of sycophants or the other. That is the exclusive reason we have the political system we do. Voting for one neoliberal or the other will never improve things.
