“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.
Wrong, electoral college has you on rails in the U.S. there are no thirds and never have been.
WeLl AcKThUaLLy, Ross Perot got really close in the 1992 &1996 election and his views on taxing the wealthy to eleminate national debt were followed through by the Clinton administration, the last administration that had a surplus, not a deficit, that Al Gore wanted to put in a lockbox. But yeah, if it weren’t for the electoral college, Gore would have been elected, and we’d probably be better off rn
How many electoral votes did ole Ross get?
Since tankies thrive on open questions I will answer myself. 0 , H. Ross Perot got 0 electoral votes in his only full candidacy for president. That is the % chance that a third party candidate has in the U.S. For anyone not familiar with U.S. elections that wishes to chime in.
My point was that voting for a third party still makes your voice heard, regardless if your guy won or not. Even Bush jr had to acknowledge climate change, and the Biden administration is struggling with the border issue. An issue Republicans voted for… on a guy that lost. Their voice is still being heard, and represented even though their guy is running away from jail atm.
But since fascists like saying opposition to one party monopolies or duopolies is futile or the norm, I’ll say, it’s not. It’s the way a democracy should work. Many parties ruling instead of just one or two, people having their voices heard (not just old people).
