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.

    I take it you didn’t notice what happened after Republicans killed that bill?

    But because I don’t entirely disagree with you, I’ll give you a better one: why is the Biden administration trying to remove protections from gray wolf populations, which were first removed by Trump? https://apnews.com/article/gray-wolves-protections-biden-trump-81084b1bba499d444950f8294880c524

    This is widely perceived as a bad idea. Also Gaza, but that’s getting plenty of press anyway and sounds a little one-note at this point. More people need to know about the wolves.

      … not specifically? I noticed Harris promised to bring that fascist shit back in 2025 and sign it, and I noticed that Republicans are now saying that Haitian migrants are eating our pets. No one is looking very good right now on the immigration issue.

      America is fucked.

        Interesting that you didn’t notice all the Republicans pissed off that it got killed over stupid infighting, which might be confused with some kind of strategy on the Democrat’s part to highlight just where MAGA’s gonna get them.

        Now, from what I’ve read of your posts here, none of it actually matters to you - you’re going to keep banging on about how both sides are the same by bringing up how they’re similar as if the similarities prove you right, and ignoring every difference as though they don’t contradict you, so I’m not going to bother going any further with this. If you have a vote, I already know that you’re gonna make damn sure it’s a vote for Trump - even if you end up not voting at all. So thanks for that.

        I miss ranked choice voting from Australia. Colorado has it on the ballot this year, hopefully it’ll pass there and the rest of the nation will follow suit. Then agitating like this will actually mean something.

          But she’s promising to bring the bill back anyways, which completely defeats the purpose if it was just meant to show Republican infighting. Why is she doing that? Let the fucking thing die!
