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.

Are you vote-shaming Muslim-Americans refusing to vote for someone committing genocide on Palestinians?

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?

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.

Nobody here is advocating for voting for Trump.

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