“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.
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).
So, you’re asking Democrats to make their voice heard and not vote Kamala. Who’s gonna be the one to answer then?
Put any spin you want on it, a vote against Kamala is a vote for Trump. Now shush you insipid tankie.
A vote is a vote, and why would you vote for a candidate you think wouldnt represent your values or you?
Your calling me a tankie is no different than Trump calling Kamala a Marxist.
Wrong again, you belong to this movement of voter suppression tactics and you’re showing that your anti- democratic arguments actually fall right in line with right wing vote suppression tactics . Keep using your shield of equivalency. I call it like I see it.
Feel free to check, I’ve been called y’all out since day one of the respectable Ms. Harris’s candidacy
