The US repeatedly told Israel

While sending them 3 billion a year, if they wanted them to stop they would threaten to stop sending the money.

Incredible win for Mexico, viva Morena!!

I agree 100%.

I am, Mao was right about landlords

Yet, in an odd twist of history, it was Newt Gingrich, one of the most conservative speakers of the House, who laid out the blueprint for the Affordable Care Act as early as 1993.

I'm voting for the Green party because of your post, thanks!

I use it in my car

Thank you for dunking on all these ignorant western chauvinists in this thread.

The only way to change that is to vote for candidates that support other voting systems like ranked choice voting.

Then you're not a green voter though

That's a lie. They only got a small fraction of the sick time they demanded, and that's only for some workers not all. Now you use those exploited workers as a political tool.

I do understand simple politics unlike yourself. Obama made no effort to mobilize his massive base that got him elected to put pressure on those senators. It's not your fault, you just are unaware of the power a president has. That's okay. You've got a lot to learn. You won't learn anything acting like a child on the internet though.

Very hypocritical considering your previous comment.

Yeah pretty much lol, I don't know why people believe this without any sort of technical data to prove these accounts are Chinese, shouldn't be hard to do that, then you have to prove they're actually working for the government and not just some of the 1.4 billion people there that can use VPNs

I'm not pretending we have ranked choice voting, in fact I know we don't, that's why I vote for candidates that support ranked choice voting.

I'll be voting for the candidate that does in each level of government. The greens would run more congressional candidates if you would support and fund them instead of voting for their opposition.

Where were you December 2019? 2015? I was voting green and supporting and donating to the greens.

Voting for Biden is a sure way to show support against ranked choice voting, instead you could build support for an opposition.

if all third-party voters had instead voted for Hillary Clinton.

You mean the Libertarian party that got 3x the votes of the Green party? They aint voting for Dems, ever. Same with Green party voters so your argument is void.

In each of these states, the number of third-party votes was significantly higher than Trump’s margin of victory.

Most of which are libertarian votes, also you are not entitled to any votes, that's not how it works.

I’m not trying to place blame. But I am trying to suggest that we first need ranked voting before we can have more than two parties.

Which is why supporting and building the Green party is so important, so we can fight for RCV.

If you want Green (on Election Day)… you get Trump.

If you don't want RCV or universal healthcare, you vote for Biden.

Except Nancy Pelosi, remember when she cried on the floor of the house because Pelosi made her vote for Iron Dome funding?

That didn't work, Bernie is an independent that tried running as a Dem, but undemocratic super delegates and a biased media stopped him.

AOC and the justice democrats also failed and do whatever Nancy Pelosi says

I agree, it's shameful.

Imagine watching that debate and saying someone is a clown for not voting for them.

You clearly do not understand politics. You asked for a tactic, I gave you a proven one. Get over yourself little one.

Congratulations on throwing away your vote

You're doing way worse than throwing away your vote, you're voting FOR genocide. If you and other Dem voters who want to feel good about yourself weren't cowards and voted Green we wouldn't be perpetuating a genocide in the first place.

Obama made no effort to mobilize his massive base that got him elected to put pressure on those senators.

He's not trying, those are just puff pieces. I've not seen him go out of his way to pressure congress, and I've not seen him use his executive powers to help working class people either.

Lol. AKA you have no legitimate argument so you removed it for the edit in cowardice. I'm enjoying Lemmy you guys are easy to debate.

How does it do that? It's commonly accepted as the metric for measuring inequality, I'd like to know if there are better metrics, enlighten is.

How will RCV be implemented in states without ballot measures? Have to vote for a party that will implement it.

The Libertarian party splits the Republican party far more than the greens split the Dems. We need to promote more parties so they split the vote of both parties.

That's not true. Biden took away railroad worker's right to strike. He is only pretending to support the UAW strike.

It doesn’t work because of our voting system

Then vote for candidates that support ranked choice voting.

Bernie and AOC and others are being a fuckton more successful than third party candidates have been for the entire history of the nation.

At controlling potential third party voters and pulling them into the Democratic party so they can maintain their personal wealth.

They definitely need more support to overcome the entrenched forces against them, though. That’s why they need people like us to support progressive candidates in primaries, and we need more people like them willing to do the hard work of getting into the democratic party and changing it from within.

Super delegates are not debatable. They prove the party is undemocratic, and a lost cause. The entire purpose of the justice democrats is what you said, and they failed.

The democratic party will not change, and will not save impoverished people in this country. Another party will.

And don’t forget voting third party when they have no chance can cause great harm. I would have thought the election of 2000 would’ve been enough to sear that into all our minds forever.

You do far more damage voting for Democrats and then complaining that they have bad policy. They would be forced to have good policy if you instead left with your vote and supported the Green party.

Those are your ONLY choices.

False. I won't be voting for genocide unlike you. A vote for Jill Stein is 100x more productive to Palestinian liberation.

It's not worth it to do nothing and have no plan for improving the country.

They won't have a chance to win if you don't vote for them.

Nice projection zionist liberal

The claims are literally wild and unsubstantiated. A woman trying to run for president has the right to. If democrats are going to make the accusation then they need evidence.

What was the meeting about? What did they say to each other? You don't know and don't care.

And I'm mocking you for supporting such a ridiculous narrative attacking me.
