By consenting to corruption and a path to WWIII. That is not protecting them, in fact it is ensuring them a terrible future. If you cared about them, you would vote, volunteer, donate, and support the PSL, CPUSA, or Green party instead.
Lmao the green party isn't going to do jack shit. They're completely unserious about politics. They aren't even trying to build up an infrastructure in all 50 states that lets them get suffused into local and state politics. They aren't even aiming for Congressional seats, which would be necessary for an actual Green president to get anything done.
They're just anti science grifters who think wifi causes cancer, entertain vaccine skepticism, and demonize nuclear energy -- the latter of which could be a major asset to stopping global warming. Newer designs are even able to consume nuclear waste, meaning an anti nuclear position results in more waste than we would otherwise.
I actually had my local Socialist Party USA chapter kick me out, ban me from their facebook, and publicly announce that I'm a rape apologist because I wouldn't tell people to support an openly transphobic "Vaccines Cause Autism" Green Party candidate over Joe Biden.
Then support the PSL. I work with the Green party to improve it, because that's how democracy works. It's okay you don't understand that.
I'm afraid all of us don't have that much free time. But hey, if you can get them to stop being anti science and actually become a serious party, I'll consider them.
Just don't expect me to accept the Green Party's many imperfections. If you don't accept the Democrat's imperfections, then you should perfectly understand.
Send them an email and discuss your issues. They are the only voice in politics that supports the science of climate change.
Democrats don't have imperfections, they are fundamentally flawed because they are corrupt.
Until Stein vehemently recants her remarks about WiFi causing cancer, vaccine skepticism, and nuclear fear mongering -- or the Green party completely disavows her and those remarks -- it would be a total waste of time.
It isn't my job as an engineer to tell "the only voice in politics that supports the science of climate change" to stop endorsing completely anti science positions. Nor is it on me to try and correct a willfully anti science party. They need to show good faith, and they've done nothing whatsoever to suggest any of that to me.

I'm also an engineer, and that's why I use my knowledge to try to influence the party.
None of those parties have a ghost of a chance of winning, and with as razor thin as the win margins were in 2016 and 2020, I'm not confident Biden will win if we don't vote for him. I sincerely hope I do not have to explain why Trump would be worse on literally every issue (especially Gaza) than Biden is.
Then do something about it instead of complain. I am, what are you doing? You vote for corruption.
Bro's protest voting when the Weimar American Republic has Nazis on the ballot and thinks building "grassroots support" for the twentieth year in a row justifies it when the world is about to run out of time anyways
You want Green candidates? Tell them to run as Democrats or make a fucking militia.
Dems are actually fascists, and you are as well for not only voting for them, but gathering support for them online when you could be doing that for a decent party.
Yes, yes, we all know what happens when you scratch a liberal but it's better than not having to scratch to find it. Even if all that's holding the powers that be back is a skin-deep veneer of civility and deniability a vote to strip that veneer away makes you a fool, not a revolutionary.
it’s better than not having to scratch to find it.
There's no need to scratch. They openly support the genocide of children.
The real fool is the one that puts no effort into change.
🤡
Imagine watching that debate and saying someone is a clown for not voting for them.
The Democrat party is just as corrupt and bought out by corporations as the Republicans are, but at least they aren't trying to get the country to circle the drain as quickly.
The past 4 years prove you wrong on that.
Did they? We got back in the Paris climate accords, gay marriage got codified into an actual law, student loan forgiveness started rolling out, clamping down on junk fees and overdraft fees...
He has us barreling towards WWIII and has destroyed our reputation on a global scale with our support of genocide in Palestine.
I got a question for you though. Same one you were asked two replies ago.
Do you think that the Republicans are better?
I think the Green party is better, that's why I vote for it. Google "democracy" and find out why!
Let me put it this way.
Right now, no one knows your chosen third-party candidate exists. Let's suppose you, personally, set out to change that. Let's suppose you're the best campaign manager ever, and that you and your friends lead the best grassroots campaign in history, so much so that come November you've convinced everyone who would have voted third party and two-thirds of the people who would have voted for Biden to vote for your candidate instead.
Let's suppose that, had you done nothing, the vote breakdown will be the same in 2024 as it was in 2020. Biden got 51.3% of the popular vote, Trump got 46.8%, and that leaves just under 2% who voted third party. In 2024, thanks to your heroic efforts, the green party candidate gets 36.2% of the vote and Biden gets 17.1%, but oh no -- Trump wins by a landslide because Trump supporters, who care not for your left-of-center politics, stuck by their guy and gave him 46% of the vote again, and in first-past-the-post voting, that's all that matters! Your heroic efforts to get your message out about your better candidate only resulted in splitting the vote and ensuring Trump would win!

This would be the greatest accomplishment for the working class in American history if it happened. The Greens would then start to win congressional seats, and being the process of taking over the government like the Morena party just did in Mexico.
Nobody likes voting for the lesser of two evils, but we all have to if we want to stop an even further decline into hell. Our system is broken, and we don't have any way of fixing it immediately, so we have to work with what we can. Trump as president will have immediate and direct consequences for many people, and it will be the fault of people like you that it happened. At this point, not voting for Biden is the same thing as voting for Trump. You may continue virtue signaling after we get through the crisis right in front of us.
You're not voting for the lesser of two evils, you are voting for corruption and evil while doing absolutely nothing about it.
The system is set up in a way that the only viable options are between two evils, unfortunately. Under a FPTP system where the only good options are minority parties that won't win a single seat in their districts, you're left with the choice of voting for the lesser evil, or voting for your morals but increasing the risk of the greater evil winning.
It's a no-win situation.
No, you can vote for whoever you want. You all on here are too lazy to gather support for another party.
You’re voting for no one, giving more of a chance for the greater of two evils and still doing nothing. Where your fucking guillotine?
I'm voting for Jill Stein. And I got one out back.
