Green Party nominee Jill Stein is expected to use her running mate to tap into the growing anger at Democrats over their support for Israel’s war on Gaza.

    But the reality is, in the current broken election system,

    Very true. And the ONLY way to fix that election system is by voting for who we think will fix that, and not just who we think may win. When do we finally make this move?

    Everyone says, “Oh not THIS election. THIS election is too important to try to change things now!”

    Guess what? They have been fucking saying that for the last 50 years. lmao

      Yes, voting for a candidate who is almost guaranteed to not get elected, and end up with the party less likely to want to fix it.

      good plan! good luck 👍

        Yes, voting for a candidate who is almost guaranteed to not get elected,

        So should we ONLY vote one we think is going to win then?

        How about we vote for who we WANT to win. And I want Jill Stein to win. I don’t look at the odds, I look at the platform and the policies.

          You are entirely missing the point. That’s ok. In the grand scheme of things, whats one single vote, right?

              So why vote at all? 🤷‍♀️

              You absolutely should vote. But, you aren’t getting the point.

              No one is “upset”. Just a conversation. Are you upset?
