Then Jill Stein shouldn't have any impact right? Since according to you leftists aren't voting anyway.
That's BS. Extreme leftists are very unreliable voters: no party that actually has a chance at winning anything or running the country can live up to their wishlist agenda. They have a "98% agreement with me means you're still my enemy" mentality, so the only candidates that appeal to them are the ones that know they won't win: those are the only folks that can promise rainbows and unicorns all day long, and pass the unrealistic and fatally flawed morality tests that extreme Progressives demand.
Lemmy really really hates when you frame the question like that. But good on ya, brother. You're exactly right!
Let me put it this way: the kind of idiot voting for Stein is not a big enough demographic that they're worth pissing off everyone else
If they would OTHERWISE vote dem maybe. But you clearly don't give a shit and never considered that a possibility anyway. The dems will never find a candidate to satisfy everyone, never mind an otherwise irrelevant fringe of socialist college students
Bernie
You mean the guy who lost twice in the primaries?
If you're too weak to beat Hilldog you'll never win against the GOP
Judging from your tone, I think you’re right. Liberals would never have voted for Bernie.
Not trying to come off like a prick, but it is true most leftists I speak to really don't understand how unpopular they are with most of the voting public. We live in a largely conservative country, and that includes a lot of liberals. Most people have a viscerally negative reaction to 90% of what comes out of the far left, never mind when it comes to voting
Most Americans don’t know they’re actually progressive:
A TV poll is a nothing burger
The reality is whenever this gets brought up in public the conservatives win. This is why liberals almost always avoid giving yes or no answers in public (no really, watch the debate later. Tim Walz will give not a single meaningful policy specific. Why? Because Americans hate that shit and he knows it)
Because leftist "voters" don't vote.

Yep. And dems screwed him over. I loved Bernie!
