If you guys think the spoiler effect isn't real then I've got a bridge to sell you. I voted Green in 2000. Never again.

I voted Green in 2020 because I hated Biden, and after 4 years of a Biden presidency I have concluded that I was a fucking moron and that my vote for Hawkins didn't amount to shit.

I remember what the Trump admin was like, and we're just now concluding the Biden admin, and when I look at the options on the table right now, I have:

  • Trump: A fascist who wants me dead.
  • Harris: A milquetoast liberal that will do a fine job at governing.
  • Stein: A valueless Green Party spoiler who is rooting for Trump (who wants me dead).
  • Not voting: A coward's way out.

Harris is the obvious choice for anyone who actually wants America to improve.

Climate town just did a really interesting video about how the election in 2000 was literally stolen by the Republicans via brothers Bush and Bush and their corrupt secretary of State in Florida. And honestly wouldn't matter if you had voted red, Green blue purple or rainbow.

Yes, it was stolen, however they were only able to do that because the margins were close. Had the green voters instead voted for the candidate closest to them that had a chance (Gore), then it would have mattered.

Green votes were well within the margin that would have triggered the automatic recount. It just would have been an automatic recount for Bush, not gore. Meaning if they blocked the hand recount like they did, it would have gone to gore.

The margins in the swing states legitimately come down to a couple thousand votes sometimes.

Don't be stupid. Vote Kamala. If you hate for some reason fine, but it's either that or...oh dear God.

The dems will never learn a lesson if they lose, they never have
