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.

The fact that she's at the highest levels of Biden admin is itself an endorsement of the policies of the administration she's part of. She absolutely can be judged on that basis. On top of that, everything she has said publicly clearly indicates that she's all in on the genocide. She even repeated debunked October 7th rape claims at the debate. There is no question of where she stands. It's the height of intellectual dishonesty to continue pretending otherwise.

smh just because I was Hitler's personal attaché doesn't mean I agree with Hitler's policies it wasn't like I had the authority to make those decisions myself while I helped engage in the diplomatic and administrative duties to facilitate them
