For those that don’t understand how the Electoral College + FPTP voting works, voting for her means helping donald become president due to the spoiler effect.
Willy Wimmer was a Right-wing German politician who in his retirement has effectively become a far-right conspiracy theorist that regularly posts to the Epoch Times.
Not really opinion at this point
It is still an opinion though.
If anything they did was illegal, then it'd be front page news. And apparently enough people like her that it makes Democrats scared and angry enough to try to block her and spread misinformation about her every chance they get. lol
I personally don't care about that photo or your suspicions about her at all all.
If anything they did was illegal
Haven't said she did anything illegal yet. We aren't spreading misinformation. All that is backed up by evidence. You are.
I personally don’t care about that photo or your suspicions about her at all all.
Then report me to the mods, file a complaint with the linked news sources, and/or block me. Also, that photo and damning evidence isn't for you. :D
You are.
What misinformation am I spreading? I just posted a news article. If you believe any part of the article is inaccurate, I encourage you to reach out to the news organization that published it.
Then report me to the mods
Why would I report you to the mods?! I haven't seen you do anything in this thread that's against community rules. I'm fine with you disagreeing with me. I disagree with you too.
I'm not even voting for her. lol
What misinformation am I spreading?
For one, you claim that Democrats are angry or worried about the Green Party and you KNOW (because I and many Many people have proven this to you beyond the point of rational disagreement) they aren't. What they are worried or angry about is the danger of the spoiler effect of these BS 3rd party candidates, with zero chance of winning the presidency, causing the Republicans to win despite almost nobody in these conversations wanting that at all.
You've blatantly said you do not care about the spoiler effect and the only reason someone with your alleged intentions wouldn't care about increasing the chances of Trump winning is if that was what your real goal was.
For one, you claim that Democrats are angry or worried about the Green Party and you KNOW (because I and many Many people have proven this to you beyond the point of rational disagreement) they aren’t.
If they're not angry or worried, then why is there such a strong reaction when I post news about the Green Party? Why go to such lengths to remove them from the ballot? It seems like there's a lot of effort being made for something they're supposedly unconcerned about.
What they are worried or angry about is the danger of the spoiler effect of these BS 3rd party candidates
So, they are worried and angry about the Green Party, just for different reasons. That seems to contradict what you just said.
the only reason someone with your alleged intentions wouldn’t care about increasing the chances of Trump winning is if that was what your real goal was.
The Trump accusation is not only incorrect but painfully unoriginal. The real threat is the Duopoly and capitalism. Whether it’s Trump or Harris, both serve the same ruling class keeping workers down.
Your denial is meaningless. The spoiler effect is proven. Voting 3rd party has cost elections. If you really don't want Trump to win you'd vote Harris, say you were, and clearly state that reality gives you no real choice otherwise you'd vote for whomever. An intelligent stance that acknowledges that you are forced to choose a lesser evil lest 5th grader logic result in the greater evil winning.
If there were primaries, or any 3rd party actually had a chance then by all means vote your conscience. That isn't the case so act your age instead of petulantly voting against your interests just because thinking is hard. Trump will thank you otherwise.
You want to discuss all the mistakes and perversions of/in the system that got us stuck in this mess with no way out that isn't a cop-out I will stand by you and commiserate fullheartedly. But get real in the meantime.
If you really don’t want Trump to win you’d vote Harris, say you were, and clearly state that reality gives you no real choice otherwise you’d vote for whomever.
No thanks. I'll vote for who I want to and who best aligns with my values. And that's not Trump or Harris. :)
And when Trump wins because Harris lost a battleground state by 700 votes a progressive 3rd party got instead what will you say when the US starts sending weapons to Israel en masse?
Why would I say anything? I'm not voting for Trump.
If the Democrats are truly worried about losing votes to a third party, they could adopt policies that actually reflect the values of those voters instead of just expecting us to fall in line.
My vote isn’t driven by fear. If Harris loses by such a slim margin, it’s not the fault of third-party voters—it’s the Democrats’ failure to address the issues that matter to us third-party voters.
Ohp, Trump just sent a plane load of MOABS to Israel.. If only that could have been avoided. You didn't vote for him so you got no worries though , except he just announced anyone pro-Palestine be sent to Segregation camps... sleep soundly with that clean conscience on your wooden mattress.
If only that could have been avoided.
Yeah, maybe the democrats should have been better and won the election!
Yyou didn’t vote for him so you got no worries though
That is correct. I won't be voting for him.
except he just announced anyone pro-Palestine be sent to Segregation camps… sleep soundly with that clean conscience on your wooden mattress.
That claim is absolutely ridiculous and nothing more than an over-the-top exaggeration. There’s no reality in which such extreme policies would be implemented, and statements like that just serve to fuel unnecessary fear and hysteria.
Let’s stick to the facts and not dive into wild, unfounded hyperbole.
They've hired Trump lawyer Jay Sekulow to try to force their way onto the ballot in Nevada, a swing state. They're so obviously compromised.
Heavens no, not ballot representation!
True representation would be an electoral system without the spoiler effect.
Why are you fighting so hard to retain the spoiler effect?
I'm explicitly wanting to get rid of the spoiler effect.
No, see jill stein wants to get rid of first past the post. Democrats fight to keep competitors off the ballot because they benefit from first past the post. You are explicitly fighting to keep it.
No, see jill stein wants to get rid of first past the post.
And I want to be able to jump over entire buildings with a single bound, and shoot lasers out of my eyes.
Talk is cheap when you've lost every single presidential election you've entered, especially losing so bad as to never get any electoral college nominations.
You are explicitly fighting to keep it.
No, I vote in the primaries at every chance to get as left of a candidate nominated as possible. The way to move forward is to take over the DNC. That starts at the ground level.
Just going for the presidency is a failed strategy. So all we can do at this time is harm reduction at that level.
You vote exclusively for candidates that actively support and benefit from first past the post, and are fighting against a candidate that actively supports getting rid of it. You cant claim to want to get rid of it
You vote exclusively for candidates that actively support and benefit from first past the post
That isn't true, and I just told you. This sort of change happens at the local level, at the lower ranks of government.
The president is not the only elected position in government.
and are fighting against a candidate that actively supports getting rid of it.
Not really. Stein is probably barely even on the Harris campaign's radar. The actual, real fight is against Trump.
You cant claim to want to get rid of it
Sure I can, just watch me:
I want to get rid of the spoiler effect, and will help to do so by voting for candidates at the local level who support better voting methods, when such candidates are available.
Such candidates are available, youre arguing they shouldnt be allowed to run because theyll spoil the party that benefits tremendously from first past the post.
youre arguing they shouldnt be allowed to run because theyll spoil the party that benefits
No I'm not. I'm saying it is almost always a waste of a vote to give them your vote. And anybody running as a 3rd party candidate should do so strategically, in places where there is actually a chance to win without causing ideologically furthest opponents from winning.
Huge swaths of races in the U.S. go unopposed, largely at the local level. Third parties could easily and cheaply target those races, but they don't.
Sorry, im mixed up in several posts specifically about barring third parties from running. This one is just criticism.
Isn't if funny how posters here are saying she and her party are not competent or important, but they are working hard to keep her off the ballot?
So she hires a lawyer, then they cry about that.
It seems like there’s a lot of effort being made for something they’re supposedly unconcerned about. lol
Doesn't bother me at all.
but I don’t think she is.
Translation: I'm covering for her as a part time job
Because the MSN link is what comes up in my newsfeed and is the version I read. So I posted. In any event, Tag24News is a legit news site as well
You're welcome to your opinion, but I don't think she is.
Not really opinion at this point...
Putin’s Shill Stein wants Nato disbanded, the US to give up their SC veto, and revoke weapons to help Ukraine defend itself while simultaneously forcing ‘peace’ (subjugation) negotiations with russia.
For those that don’t understand how the Electoral College + FPTP voting works, voting for her means helping donald become president due to the spoiler effect.
