Jill Stein has my vote! Seriously, she took it. Can someone help me get it back?
Note: Jill is literally paid to run as a spoiler, and if you look at her actual policies, lot of transphobia, ablism, and support for pseudoscience
I’m ashamed I fell for her scam in 2016, was in CA though so wasn’t worried my vote would directly help the orange waste of baryonic matter.
This gives big “RFK Jr. will steal votes from Kamala”
If Trump wins it’s not Jill Stein’s fault you psycho.
Technically you’re right. But it absolutely will be the non-voters fault, and considering that a vote for Shill Stein is the same thing as throwing away a vote for no good reason…
It’s say it’ll be her supports fault.
Jill Stein is polling at litterally less than measurable numbers.

“Undecided” represents at least twice the voters Stein appears to be garnering.
People just want someone to be mad at in case Harris loses
Because Harris losing simply could not be her own fault, if it happened
I’m going to blame [Undecided] if that happens, but we all know [Undecided] is going to become vapor just after the election and then reroll and alt character masquerading as a victim of their own ignorance come November…
So yeah… we all know they won’t be around to take their bow and own it.
This rhetoric is sure to convince all those Muslims in Michigan whose family members are being blown up by US bombs. Keep up the good work, neolib crusader!
It was nice to see the World News community finally realize that the DNC has been doing nothing but shooting themselves in the foot for a year.
Maybe this community will finally catch on and connect the dots between a random ass 3rd party getting blamed for stealing votes away from the Democrats, and Democrats not actually meeting the core demands of their constituency.
Or maybe not…
Yes, the party that gets 1% of the vote represents the will of the people, not the one that turns out record numbers of voters and routinely takes the national majority.
Maybe someday we’ll have people blame the DNC for choosing to back unpopular opinions/policies losing the popularity contest against “Literal Evil Fascist with the Playbook of How To Do Evil 101, but Fox News said it’s cool”.
But instead we need a new scapegoat for when Greens come in 4th place to the Libertarian’s “I just wanna date this 14 year old with my rifle and say the N-word out loud without backlash.”

I can’t post more than one image because Lemmy/Memmy makes the images fall apart into a 2 mile long scroll.
Can’t believe Johnson handed the election to Trump like that.
Wouldn’t the libertarians take more votes from the Republicans than the Dems?
Oh shit. Maybe. But then this would imply Hillary was working with a sizable advantage.
Kamala Harris can win over all of those Jill Stein voters with a single sentence.
Stupid Jill Stein’s entire campaign is based on the premise that Democrats would keep a genocide going for an entire year into election season.
Israel is the party at war with Hamas, not the Democrats.
Let’s completely forget everything but the election for this hypothetical. Do you think Harris coming out and saying “I will immediately stop supporting Israel” she will automatically win? Or do you think it’s more likely the Jewish community would condemn her words and move over to the rubber stamp in chief who would give Israel even more support with fewer conditions? (Ignoring the personal favors he asks for of course.)
Yall act like this is a simple black and white issue, when it’s obviously not. Even when you boil it down to “just” the election.
Yes an arms embargo net her an easy win.
The Jewish community does not care about sending infinite weapons to Netanyahu.
Dumbest shit I’ve ever read
Oooh, so Kamala is playing 5D chess and will do an about-face on Biden’s genocide policy when she enters office? Because her past record is so stellar on this issue? Like that time she had wine from an illegal settlement served at the White House? She and her boss wipe their ass with the rule of all and all pretensions of even basic human morality on an international level, but she’s not Trump!
“genocide policy”? The talking points are so transparent at this point.
Strawman much? Or are you arguing with voices I can’t hear?
Edit: Y’know what? I’m curious. How do you envision her coming out against Israel going? Let’s hear your version of how things would go, because I can’t hear these arguments as anything other than “I support Trump.”
So please, enlighten me as to how this would go down without Trump being elected and making the situation worse.
I can’t hear these arguments as anything other than “I support Trump.”
Strawman much?
🤦♂️ That isn’t a strawman.
It is. The Biden administration does not have a policy to, nor are they, committing genocide. No one is arguing that they should.
That clearly fits the definition:
an intentionally misrepresented proposition that is set up because it is easier to defeat than an opponent’s real argument
OK so we are picking the new scape goat this election cycle?
She picked herself. Let’s not victimize Shill Stein here. Her lack of policy, and unwillingness to lift a finger three out of every four years really helped her solidify her role as the source of her own problems.
Thankfully, and with additional hope- she’s done and we won’t have to hear from her after November.
Wow its not the youth and progressives this time, I’m stoked. Yeah um, fuck those Stein voters they are the worst. Dont they know how democracy works?
/s
They don’t. I’ve been trying to explain basic political concepts to my older cousin for 20 years and he’s been voting for Jill Stein at every turn, and then pretended to be disappointed that a republican won as a nepobaby landlord that hates paying taxes.
People who will vote for a Russian sponsored Republican spoiler are too stupid to be trusted with anything. Or they are morally bankrupt and smart enough to hide it.
If you want to vote third party but don’t like the greens, the party for socialism and liberation is running de la Cruz on a platform of Palestinian statehood!
The two state solution has been the platform of most of the world for decades, I think Democratic president Bill Clinton most recently undertook a major effort to make it happen, but the two parties of course couldn’t agree and started fighting instead.
PSL and Greens, due to their unpopularity and belief in ideology over consensus, will never actually be in a position to broker internationally impactful diplomatic efforts.
