I don't get it...why would you even vote for Stein at this point? She's not going to win, she's not going to break the threshold for federal election funding, and I don't see a substantial distinction between her policy and Harris.
Brain worm at least had a 1 in 1000 of breaking the funding threshold. Jill has what, less than a chance of finding the winning lotto ticket in the middle of the desert?
The only result of that vote is boosting Donald's chances.
Why...why would you even vote for her at this point? What's the end game?
Well I'm definitely not voting Harris or Trump. So I could see how some people would decide on Stein.
Harris platform has exactly zero policies in common with the green party
Are you a paid spokesperson for the Green party? I don't know how you can write something like that with a straight face.
Edit: I went to the green party page to make sure I'm not full of shit...I'm not...it's a slightly more liberal Democrat policy page.
Same focuses on equality, green energy, and inclusion.
I really don't get what you think a green party vote will get you that a vote for Harris won't. Other than another feather in the fedora of stupid mistakes we make when we are young, or you really like Russia. I don't get it at all.
Because you're young, clearly. Maybe this is just the first election you've paid attention to. Every disaffected voter was like you, once.
Then we realized dem platform has nothing to do, whatsoever, with what the do in office. Even when they have a majority in both houses of Congress and can pass anything their heart desires, they actively refuse to pass legislation relating to the platform they sold us on. You can only be lied to so many times before you realize doing the same thing will not get you a different outcome. Voting dem will never improve your life. Maybe third party will, maybe not, but voting dem won't, it's empirically proven.
I'm old enough to remember the green party votes haven't worked in the last 5 presidential elections. I threw away a vote on them when Obama had a lock on his second term.
Here we are a couple decades later and the green party has done zero to affect major change in the US. They did likely get Hillary fucked, so thanks for that 4 years of hell I guess.
Brain worm was your best chance this cycle and he's been paid off already.
Really...seriously...what will voting green get you here? You can't win, you can't get federal funding, if you break 2% I'll be amazed...
What's the point of a green vote when Harris is so closely aligned with your platform?
Yeah. My first vote was for Bill Clinton in '92. I voted for him again in '96. I saw no difference between Gore and Bush and didn't vote in 2000. We got the utter shitshow that was Bush 43, but even then I still voted third party in some elections.
No more. Team Red is now Team Fascist, and either Red or Blue will be in office unless and until Team Green or Team Yellow or whatever you got can take more than half of their political ideology's votes.
That's the real problem here. Third Parties cap out at 10% of the total vote, or about 20% of their ideologies' parties vote share. They can't win THIS party's primaries. How can I expect them to win the country?
No child, they didn't lose clinton the election she refused to campaign for.
And no, a genocidal cop that has only repeated Trump's 2016 immigration platform has nothing in common with my preferred policies. Greens are he compromise party. The minimally progressive option of things developed countries generally already have.
nothing in common with my preferred policies
Really? And the chick eating dinner with Putin represents you as a person? That's what you stand for? That's an interesting statement.
I don't care who she has dinner with.
And...again...that's says a lot about your vote. That's not a statement I'd hang off my high horse.
Yeah, maybe not something you’d say from your high horse, but I, on the other hand, don’t care what others think and am free to like whoever I want. 😊
Thank goodness. I don’t know what I’d do if I found out Harris was a Russian shill.
Man you people have brain worms like trump worshippers. Yes granny, I'm sure sleepy Jill is totally taking billions from those filthy Soviet commies that want to eat your dogs and cats.
No need to resort to ad hominem, bud. She’s a proven spoiler, and a shill.
And I’m not sure that you’re aware, but most of your leftists friends have already abandoned her, so you can either keep up or catch up, either way, I don’t care what you do as your little Green Party is now more irrelevant that it ever was. I’m going to guess it won’t exist come next election.
And I’m going to assume the cheap little “dogs and cats” thing is somehow supposed to be an accusation that I’m a mouth-breathing conservative, just because I said that Shill Stein is a fraud?
Is that how you want to be seen? Insulting people because they don’t like your candidate?
Who does that remind you of exactly?
Better luck next time. But you lost this one.
Badly.
An opinion piece from the wsj and a story funded by the dnc?
That's what you based your confused worship of corporate bootlickers on?
Also I don't care how you people see me, you people already thought I was trash because I was poor, hysterical because I care about the climate, and a traitor because I think we shouldn't have an offensive military force or corporate owned government. returning insults isn't going to change how you see me, you never considered me a person in the first place. Hell you all thought I shouldn't get married just a decade ago.
Wow… I didn’t know you were a victim of…. Everthing ever. Had I known, I’d have just blocked you like I am going to do now.
I don’t debate with bad-faith rhetoric designed to take away anyone’s argument or else appear as a villain.
You win by default. You’re untouchable.
Enjoy victimhood and be sure to do this with everyone so you can never lose an argument!
The actual face of liberalism shows itself again.
I really can't wait until you people appoint the next Hitler like liberals did last time so we might get some progress and time away from liberal nonsense.
^ Gotta love people downvoting a basic fact.
Because I don’t care. Neither party actually listens to the average American either way my bills are getting more expensive and my dollar worth less.
Yep! That's why I'm voting third party. Dems and Repubs don't care about us.
You really find someone who has promised to herd immigrants into what will certainly become death camps and crash the US economy whilst ending democracy equally bad as business as usual?
I think Harris is just as bad as Trump.
Wow, so rarely does someone find a way to announce such extreme ignorance so succinctly
You two should just get a room already. I'm still waiting to find out on what basis you claim that I am them. Because I think third parties should exist?
I don't get it...why would you even vote for Stein at this point? She's not going to win, she's not going to break the threshold for federal election funding, and I don't see a substantial distinction between her policy and Harris.
