“After extensive consultation, discussion, and deliberation, the American Muslim 2024 Election Task Force has decided to encourage American Muslims to vote for any presidential candidate of their choosing who supports a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and a US arms embargo on the Israeli government, such as candidates Dr Jill Stein, Dr Cornel West or Chase Oliver,” read the statement, obtained by Middle East Eye.
The statement was written by the American Muslim 2024 Election Task Force, an umbrella group formed this year that consists of a number of prominent Muslim organisations including the political arms of Americans for Justice in Palestine (AJP), Cair, and the US Council of Muslim Organizations.
“We cannot endorse Vice President Kamala Harris’ candidacy because of her refusal to even consider imposing the arms embargo on the Israeli government required by US laws and her failure to promise any other changes whatsoever to President Biden’s failed policy of steadfast financial, diplomatic and military support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza,” the statement read.
Ah yes. BoTh SIDes are completely the same. You’re not even slightly offended by calls to “Finish them” from the republicans? Written on an Israeli bomb?
They talk differently, but you have yet to identify how that is not also what Harris wants

Harris: Literally supports the ongoing genocide and promises that she will keep arming the genocider, but says that she supports the victims (while doing nothing to support them
Trump: Voices explicit support for Israel’s ongoing genocide, the one Biden is bankrolling and Harris swears up and down she will support
Liberals pretending to care about human life: “Can’t you see the substantial practical difference here?”

Liberals pretending Leftists are Republicans because Leftists also hate liberals will never not be funny.

What rightwing propaganda am I swallowing? Where is America not currently an Imperialist Dictatorship?
It’s an imperialist semi-democratic republic. Up until Jan 6th it had a long run of peaceful transfer of power. It’s not a dictatorship yet. Trump promises to make it one. I didn’t think any of that would be unknown to you?
Oh, have you officially inducted me into being a secret Republican now? Please, keep displaying your crankery, it makes supporters of democrats look as deranged as they are.
Who do you want to win the presidential election?
I don’t care which neoliberal party wins one specific presidential election. I don’t think on alarmist timelines where every successive election is The Most Important Election of Our Lifetime and carries a totalizing importance that makes all the rest of the future a footnote. What I care more about are the substantive elements of party platforms and how those platforms change, and if one of them can change at all, it’s the Democrats.
And you propose to bring about that change by… ?
Does it make the bomb stronger? If Harris cries when the next shipment goes, does it misfire?

Try analyzing material reality for once.

What on Earth are you talking about? Like here:
Who on Earth thinks there is no war in Ukraine?
Again, what on Earth are you asking? War is always tragic, yes, and war is happening because of Matetial Conditions, not random emotions or vibes. What are you getting at?
What’s with the random non-sequitor?

You asked my feelings, ie my emotions. My feelings are that it’s tragic.
Now you are asking for analysis, ie whose fault it is and what should be done.
The cause of the war, ie the reason why it is happening, stems from NATO as it was formed as an anti-USSR coalition of Imperialist powers. After the dissolution of the USSR, Russia was plundered by western Capitalists. The Russian Federation tried to join NATO, but was denied, so it threw off the Western Imperialists via an increase in far-right Nationalist interests.
NATO continued to expand despite Russia warning repeatedly against it, and now Russia is trying to forcibly demilitarize Ukraine completely, compounded by Ukranian shelling of Donetsk and Luhansk, breakaway regions in Ukranian territory of ethnic Russians.
Peace talks should be had between Russia and Ukraine. They need to examine the reality of the forces at play, and try to come to a resolution quickly to prevent more loss of life.
