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.

    Donors did everything they could to keep Biden in. Even after Biden ‘beat medicare’ in his debate with Trump he got backing from the establishment.

    The establishment ditched Biden solely because had no shot at beating Trump. No matter how much he was the perfect ghoul puppet, if he can’t win there’s nothing for his donors to control.

    Both parties are trying to sell votes to the highest bidders. Their goal is to sell out as much as possible while still winning the election. But they are now straddling so close to that line that they need to make compromises.

    Many immigrants tried to vote Democrat in 2020 only to be met with “build the wall”. Muslims loyally voted Democrat and were met with Genocide in Palestine. When politicians don’t get punished for going against their voters interests they only learn to keep doing it. After all why should they listen to their base if they keep voting for them
