“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.
And what about Trump winning is going to make that better? I don’t get it.
Nothing. Harris won’t make it better either, both major candidates support genocide.
Ah yes. BoTh SIDes are completely the same. You’re not even slightly offended by calls to “Finish them” from the republicans? Written on an Israeli bomb?
They talk differently, but you have yet to identify how that is not also what Harris wants
Republicans: literally call for genocide
davidagain: You’re not offended by that?
tankies pretending to be pro-gaza: “it’s just words”
Harris: Literally supports the ongoing genocide and promises that she will keep arming the genocider, but says that she supports the victims (while doing nothing to support them
Trump: Voices explicit support for Israel’s ongoing genocide, the one Biden is bankrolling and Harris swears up and down she will support
Liberals pretending to care about human life: “Can’t you see the substantial practical difference here?”
Republicans pretending to be leftists: BoTh SIdES are THe sAMe. DON’T VOTE if you’re left of American “centre”.
Oh, have you officially inducted me into being a secret Republican now? Please, keep displaying your crankery, it makes supporters of democrats look as deranged as they are.
Who do you want to win the presidential election?
Liberals pretending Leftists are Republicans because Leftists also hate liberals will never not be funny.
“Leftists” swallowing the most rightwing propaganda shit imaginable and advocating actions likely to bring about yet another imperialist dictatorship: “mmm tasty. Take that, libs”
Does it make the bomb stronger? If Harris cries when the next shipment goes, does it misfire?
If you can’t understand how holding candidates accountable is important, then what else is there to tell you. This isn’t about Trump making anything better, it’s about withholding vote from a candidate that does not represent you.
