Bp, I can see how one could disagree with Mr. Jalal but it is important to be respectful and accurate. Clearly Mr. Jalal is not cheering a trump presidency nor just trying to be vengeful. He is suggesting that punishing Harris/Biden for their action is the best strategic decision in the long run as it will force the Democratic Party to recognize the Muslim vote as important in getting elected.

Look I am a housewife and mother. But you lay out the argument for voting third party in this farce of an election — this two party charade as you call it. But I do believe that as a person of conscience I cannot vote for the administration that supports genocide. Fascist or Less fascist is not a real choice.

Definitely moved the barr Bro.. but I’m already a believer: I have no reasonable candidate for the most out of bounds office in the world.. Capitalism has set the stage for prestige without qualification so much that Americans routinely vote lesser evil politician as normal and qualified candidates don’t get the money or spots for speaking.. We either get hold of this obscene spectacle or spiral out of sanity and into nuclear annihilation because not everyone wants to play in this sick opera about a few venders making extreme kickback and front money for a select few perched in the line war-mongers opportunity.. Sorry, I’m rambling on to say that things are fucked up without respect for anything anywhere.. Peace.. ? can I even say that anymore with the sense optimism it naturally solicited from those who love peace without violence.. ?

Looking at the past election results, the Libertarian Party candidate Chase Oliver seems to me the most likely candidate to get over 5% of the popular vote which will enable them to receive federal funding. Their views on domestic and social issues are also more tolerable although not perfect. I don’t understand why so many Muslim voters support the Green Party candidate Jill Stein.
