The present reckless and unrestrained aggression that Israel is engaged in has produced a great deal of instability at both the regional and international level. The US electoral system, under which the Democrats have been able to preserve enough credibility to function as a lesser evil, is experiencing its own share of difficulties in this regard. The ability of Kamala Harris to convince enough people to ‘hold their noses and vote’ in order to keep the widely despised Donald Trump out of the...

The Abandon Harris strategy is for people of conscience to punish Kamala Harris at the ballot box and then take the “blame”—or claim the credit—for her electoral defeat. Punishing the vice-president for her genocide would send a clear signal to the political landscape that genocide is not politically viable. It would create a political earthquake, soliciting a reckoning in the political parties. The Abandon Harris campaign’s goal is to ensure that Kamala Harris loses the swing states....

End the genocide! Build the anti-war movement by opposing both Harris and Trump who are vying to become the Warmonger-in-Chief. Abandon Harris has been organizing for months demanding a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and an end to arms shipments to Israel. In the face of flagrant continuation of her warmongering position, they announced they could not support the myth of a lesser evil, because there “is no gentler genocide”. Now they are organizing to deny Harris Michigan. Video: 2h, 23m...

The decision is a setback for the Harris campaign, which is relying on organized labor to boost its outreach to working-class voters, particularly in the key swing states of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan.

This is nothing more than a, kind of, Goebbels-like ventriloquism. That’s all that is. I mean this guy’s a fool, but he’s a fool with a huge audience because we’ve allowed corporations to take over the media in ways that have no relevance whatsoever to the truth. These are ideological dis-imagination machines. That’s all they are, but they’re very powerful, and we need to take them seriously....

Widespread anger at the Democratic Party has led to movements like the Abandon Harris campaign (formerly Abandon Biden), a movement of Muslim and Arab Americans dedicated to making sure Harris and the Democrats lose this presidential election over their support for Israel's war. Israeli forces have so far killed more than 41,000 Palestinians in Gaza, which is the official death toll determined by the Palestinian health ministry and deemed a highly conservative underestimate of the actual numb...
