Green Party candidate Jill Stein is gaining ground among Muslim-American voters in three critical swing states: Michigan, Arizona, and Wisconsin, according to a recent poll by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

Stein leads Vice President and Democrat candidate Kamala Harris in these states, with 40 per cent support in Michigan, 35 per cent in Arizona, and 44 per cent in Wisconsin. This surge in popularity appears tied to Stein’s vocal criticism of US support for Israel during the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Explicitly YES

A vote fire Stein is a vote for Trump. A vote for stein is a vote for fascism.

Yes. I explicitly shame this behavior.

Shame.

Dig?

The Muslim-Americans that refuse to vote for a genocidal regime specifically targetting Muslims is somehow fascist, and supporting Trump?

........ Please research the electoral laws of the country you live and vote in!

I'm pretty familiar. What are you trying to say?

[–] BlucifersVeinyAnus@sh.itjust.works 0 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Unfortunately, yes.

Our system blows. But as it stands, yes, that is correct.

The two party system should change, but until it does, you either vote for the lesser of two evils or you step back enable the greater of two evils.

If you vote for stein you’re worse than most magas because deep down, you know better.

Gotcha, so you're the liberal that would rather close their eyes and cover their ears than actually try to regain those votes by pushing Kamala to sanction Israel.

[–] BlucifersVeinyAnus@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I’m no fucken liberal

We should have cut Israel loose 30 years ago

Kamala is as center right as she’s ever been, she’s a fucken cop ffs

You think I wouldn’t rather be voting for somebody even a little left of center, let alone an actual leftist?

That’s not the world as it stands, no matter how much you whinge about making Kamala be mean to isreal

I could piss away my vote because Kamala sucks but what does that get anyone? You want change, dig in. We need to win local first

You think it’s bad for Muslims now? What do you think it looks like if the fucken yahoos running around saying Haitians eat cats win again because a bunch of morons protest voted for stein.

And seriously, Jill fucken stein of all people

You have no principle, no spine, and no solidarity.

[–] Baaahb -5 points 5 months ago

Just curious how you see this going? What happens when I got stein?

[–] GarbageShootAlt2@lemmy.ml 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I’m no fucken liberal

Voteblues are liberals, sorry

We should have cut Israel loose 30 years ago

Assuming it had to be founded, it should have been destroyed 70-something years ago

No, he knows he's a bloody-handed collaborator and misery loves company.

Back in 2016 I worked with a bunch of Syrian and Lebanese people who ALL voted for your savior Trump because of his "favorable" policies (that means anti-Israel in case you don't understand), their hero worship quickly turned to hatred as members of their church and families got detained and deported for no reason except having brown skin and unpronounceable names. But go ahead, vote for Jill Stein. Middle East Monitor is usually full of shit so this is probably what your boy orangutan would call fake news anyway.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 16 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Nobody here is advocating for voting for Trump.

[–] philo@lemmy.ca -3 points 5 months ago

Ok, Kai Andeson. I'll give you my vote for city council.

A vote fire Stein is a vote for Trump

Can you explain to us why this is so?

[–] BlucifersVeinyAnus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

Yeah, pay attention.

It’s a two party system as much as that sucks.

Stein has no shot. None. You’re a fool if you think she can win anything anywhere.

Candidate A from team blue sucks ass.

Candidate B from team red is a million times worse

If you’re abstaining to make a point or voting for stein because Kamala sucks, you’re enabling the greater of two evils by not actively voting against it.

You want a third party? We have to start at the bottom and when we get a shot at a national presence Jill fucken stein ain’t gonna be there

[–] frauddogg@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

If you aid and abet a genocide you deserve evil to befall you

I pray there is a hell for you, bleak and unending.

[–] donescobar@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

FFS I wish more people would get this. I understand that Kamala’s policy isn’t helping her but I don’t think they’ve done the math that a trump presidency would enable Israel 10 fold, he has made his stance very clear when it comes to Muslims and Israel.
