"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.

So, you're asking Democrats to make their voice heard and not vote Kamala. Who's gonna be the one to answer then?

Put any spin you want on it, a vote against Kamala is a vote for Trump. Now shush you insipid tankie.

A vote is a vote, and why would you vote for a candidate you think wouldnt represent your values or you?

Your calling me a tankie is no different than Trump calling Kamala a Marxist.

Wrong again, you belong to this movement of voter suppression tactics and you're showing that your anti- democratic arguments actually fall right in line with right wing vote suppression tactics . Keep using your shield of equivalency. I call it like I see it.

Feel free to check, I've been called y'all out since day one of the respectable Ms. Harris's candidacy

Can you show evidence of right wingers saying to vote for third party candidates? Do you call everyone who disagrees with you a tankie (im usually called a menace to society)? And its Mrs. Harris. I read Mrs. Harris' books and made up my mind that I don't like her as a candidate, she voiced concerning language, and shes backtracked on things like fracking and marijuana now.

Calling for evidence against a known felon isn't gonna get you anywhere in this part. Hello, who you talking to, a stinking liberal Democrat voter. I have faith in who knows whats right. The voter.

I'm actually confused to what you're trying to say here, I was asking you for evidence of republicans saying to vote for a third party candidate so you can support your claim that that's what one of their voter suppression tactics are. I've been saying this whole time that voters know whats right for them and should choose someone they believe in, not just because its the popular choice.

Explain to me how telling people to vote for a candidate they believe represent their values; is the same as abolishing voting by mail or other voter suppression tactics? Stop pivoting
