https://www.brianmcginnis4ussenatenc.org/ this guy seems alright, Greens have been getting better and better lately

I have lived long enough to know that truth is simple. I have seen effective leadership in different parts of the world where public servants have actually served the public with healthcare, education and a hopeful future. Yet, here I have seen the complexity of lies that politicians use for why they cannot deliver for people, while always delivering for the donors who live at the people's expense. I am a Green because I know capitalist parties will never actually serve working class people. The Democrats and Republicans may market to working class people but when push comes to shove they will both fail working class people time and time again. Because of all of these things I chose to do something by becoming a Green and running for US Senate.

Definitely worth your vote in NC since there's no PSL candidate there for Senate

He was seemingly there with Code Pink which is a good sign. Him being a veteran is a red flag, in my opinion. On his website, it show him wearing a pin with an Irish flag and Palestine flag, that's a good sign. The fact that he maintained composure and kept saying no going to war for Israel, while they broke his arm, shows commitment I think.

McGinnis is running against (D) Roy Cooper and (R) Michael Whatley. Roy Cooper is backed by the Israel lobby, he was endorsed by Democratic Majority For Israel lobby group in November 2025. Roy Cooper was also previously the governor of NC, so he has the advantage of name recognition.

It would be nice for a non-Israel backed candidate to win the race, but I feel like the entire Democrat establishment is going to back Cooper for Israel.
