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.

      You need to shame muslims more for not supporting the people bombing them. That seems to be working out well for you below.

      Bold of you to assume it hasn’t been here with its feet up on the ottoman for the last… How long has Amerika been extrajudicially murdering its subjects-of-empire in the streets, or even in their own homes and beds? How long has Amerika been profiting off carceral slaves? How long has Amerika been aiding and abetting fascist, often-times genocidal settler-colonism overseas?

      Shut the fuck up, Kyle. That you’d even pithily fix your face like this tells me you haven’t been paying attention AT ALL until it started to inconvenience YOU SPECIFICALLY. Just shut the fuck up.

        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?

            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.

                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

                  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

                    Ok dude, if you define a liberal as someone that is voting for a dem instead of bending over for the immediate threat of literal fascism… you got me

                    As far as Israel’s founding, yeah fine I’m not that old afaic the world fucked up by letting Israel happen but once they’re all there what now?

                    I mean, I think religion is stupid but they’re still people, none of them should be subject to genocide and neither side is ever going to stop fighting because religion.

                    So my question is how does voting for Jill stein make any of that better?

                    What do you think a relationship between Trump 2.0 and Netanyahu looks like? You care about Palestinians and you want to risk a second Trump term?

                    Come on dude
