Jill Stein says Dems experiencing ‘fear of God’ over new polling, explains why Kamala can’t win

October 1, 2024 | | Print Article

Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein says Vice President Kamala Harris doesn’t stand a chance in hell of winning the 2024 race.

Why not? Mainly because of her response to the Israel-Hamas war.

“The Democrats cannot win without the support of the Muslim American community, and that community has left the station and is not going back unless the Democrats decide that it’s more important to them to win the election than it is to conduct the genocide,” Stein told Newsweek.

“So they have to do a 180 on the genocide and they don’t appear willing to do that. They could win those votes back, but it doesn’t look like that’s on the cards. So it looks like they are sacrificing several swing states,” she added.

Listen:

To be clear, Israel is not engaging in genocide of any sort. But leftists like Stein, among others, believe otherwise and have therefore been pressuring the Biden-Harris administration to stop supporting Israel.

Many leftists have likewise vowed to not vote for Harris in November unless the administration stops backing Israel in its war efforts. But who are they to vote for then since former President Donald Trump is even more pro-Israel than Harris? Stein, of course.

“Recent polling has ‘put the fear of God into the Democrats,’ Stein said, because it showed that she leads Harris among Muslim and Arab Americans in some swing states,” Newsweek notes.

Indeed, a late August poll found that 40 percent of Muslim voters in Michigan backed Stein, while 18 percent backed Trump and just a 12 percent minority backed Harris. Meanwhile in Wisconsin, another Muslim-heavy state, 44 percent of Muslims supported Stein while only 29 percent supported Harris.

“We’re doing outreach all the time to a lot of different groups but it’s really been the Muslim Americans and Arab Americans who have really taken this campaign on like it’s theirs—like they have enormous ownership over this,” Stein said of this support.

Meanwhile, a study by Third Way, a think tank, “found that, based on polling averages in battleground states, the 2020 margin of victory for Democrats would be lost in four states—Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina and Wisconsin—because of third party support,” Stein continued.

“So they can’t win,” she said, referencing Harris’ campaign. “There’s a fair amount of data now that suggests the Democrats have lost. Unless they give up their genocide.”

Democrats seem to realize this.

“Jill Stein is a spoiler for Trump who is working hand in hand with Republican consultants and Trump’s former personal lawyer to get her on the ballot in swing states,” Democrat National Committee spokesperson Adrienne Watson told Newsweek.

“This will be a close election and the only way to stop Donald Trump is by voting for Vice President Harris,” she added.

According to Stein, her support from the Muslim community has only ballooned since she held their first event with them in February.

“It was like we were on the same wavelength from the very beginning with the Muslim American community, with a very similar humanistic perspective and a sense of the centrality of the genocide in this election and its importance in our society and in our lives,” she said. “The bottom line being that we cannot turn away.”

“The Muslim Americans and Arab Americans have really felt like allies here in our standing up to stop genocide. It’s felt like a family affair from the start … we’re very much in-synch. For a long time that community didn’t know which way they were gonna go. It’s only recently we’ve been getting these endorsements and pulling ahead in the polls in a very big way,” she added.

She concluded her remarks to Newsweek by saying it’d be easy for Democrats to re-earn support from Muslims but warned that they simply “choose not to.”

“[They could do what] Ronald Reagan did in 1982 when, like what’s happening now, Israel went into Lebanon,” she said. “He picked up the telephone to Menachem Begin [Israel’s prime minister at the time] and said: ‘This is over, end of missile strikes, your troops are going home because we are funding this and we are arming you’—just like now.”

“Instead of reining Israel in, they just keep sending more aircraft carriers and battlegroups and 5,000 more soldiers. This is the makings of a World War Three … This is like pre-World War One in its complexities and inter-alliances … This could be unbelievably disastrous. Netanyahu has been attempting to enlarge the war and drag the U.S. into it. Harris is competing with Trump for who can pledge the most allegiance to Bibi Netanyahu,” she added.
