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.

Jill Stein is cool. A lot of liberals are mad at her because she is snooping votes from the Democratic party by offering people things they actually want to vote for. Especially a weapons ban on Israel.

What good does voting for a presidential policy do when Congress just blocks it? Offering people things they actually want, but you have no ability to provide, is the oldest trick in politics.

The president can bypass congress

Sometimes, and Congress can override the President, as happened in the case I linked. If 2/3s of Congress decides to block the president on everything, there's not much the president can do.
