Stein has found momentum among Muslim voters, who are gravitating toward her over her stance on the war in Gaza. A national poll by the Council on American Islamic Relations, or CAIR, in August, found that Muslim voters are split between Stein and Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris.

      I like her. I’m not voting for her, but I still like her. And I feel the Muslim community should vote for whoever they want to.

        The Muslim community should not be encouraged to vote in a way that actively harms them.

        Voting for anyone but Harris allows Trump a win and goes back to actively harming the Muslim community.

          I think the Muslim community is smart enough to think for themselves when it comes to who they want to vote for.

            They are smart, the problem is they are being actively misled just like 2016.

      Many Muslims and imams have already stated they are not voting for Trump or Harris, as supporting genocide is not worth any personal cost to them.

      Voting green allows them to still have a voice, instead of being a non voting block for the foreseeable future.

      The only, exclusive reason many Muslims voted dem before was the lip service post George W. (As Dems were exactly as racist and bloodthirsty towards Muslims communities during the bush years). Now that even the lip service has stopped, what exactly is the actual incentive?

      Good humans put aside personal interests when voting and doing civil service in general, many Muslims are following the Quran and setting aside their personal interests and refusing to vote for Dems until they stop literally going around Congress to find a genocide.

        Failure to vote for Harris supports Genocide by Israel and brings Genocide home to the US.

          The first part is currently happening under Harris/Biden, and while the second part may happen, again, you must put aside any risk to yourself to not be responsible for the harm of others.

          If you give a gun to a mass murderer it does not matter if they shoot you too. If you refuse to give said gun but they get it anyway that’s not on you, regardless of the outcome.

            Genocide is happening now, but it’s not happening BECAUSE of Biden/Harris.

            Trump would actively encourage and personally engage in genocide.

              It is happening because of Biden, a staunch Zionist who has gone around Congress multiple times to give weapons to Israel and has stated publicly multiple times that there are no limits to what Israel can do that would cause a loss of support from his administration.

      Agree with all your points. This is a particularly tough one as Stein is trying to win away Harris votes now.

      Most of the other votes seem to be from folks who like Stein’s position and would stay home and not vote if Stein were not running. Which is bad enough. But if Stein can pull away likely Harris votes then…

      Stein’s stated goal is to prevent Harris from winning. This means she really wants the GOP to win. As per https://www.newsweek.com/jill-stein-how-why-i-will-stop-kamala-harris-winning-white-house-1961100

      So these potential switches should be given all relevant information - including Stein’s apparent goal of only blocking Harris but not the GOP guy, the likely outcome, and the consequences of a GOP win.
