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?

[-] BlucifersVeinyAnus@sh.itjust.works -3 points 1 month ago

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?

[-] verdigris@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

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

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.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 month ago

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

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

[-] Baaahb@feddit.nl -4 points 1 month ago

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

[-] GarbageShootAlt2@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago

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

A vote fire Stein is a vote for Trump

Can you explain to us why this is so?

[-] BlucifersVeinyAnus@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

[-] donescobar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month 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.

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

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

[-] philo@lemmy.ca -5 points 1 month ago

Boy are you dumb, where did he mention voting? You shame your parents and every teacher you ever had.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 month ago

This post is about Muslim-Americans polling more in favor of voting for Stein than Harris, and they responded by saying "yay, let's give fascism a chance," ie Harris loses because of this and Trump wins.

This entire post is about voting.

Cute. The guy who if you look up his lemmy.ml account in the mod log, got banned for "white power" posting; fixing his face to talk about "shaming one's parents and teachers". Shut the fuck up, Kyle.
