Taking Jill Stein seriously? You ok?

@lemmy.ml

No, they aren't, and they won't be getting better, either.

Notable differences between Stein and Harris:

  • opposes genocide in Gaza
  • opposes fracking
  • stronger on the environment
  • approves of single payer healthcare
  • approves of tuition free colleges for all
  • wants to slash our bloated military budget

I live in a blue state and will be voting Green to try to build momentum for third parties and STAR voting. I do hope Trump is defeated and thrown in jail, and I'd reconsider my vote if I lived in a purple state.

If you want to get any real momentum for third parties, throwing your vote away isn't it.

Voting blue in a solid blue state for a candidate I have huge moral issues with (Palestine, climate change) is the definition of throwing my vote away.

Okay, but who is going to vote for those things if the Greens don't win any House or Senate seats, even if they win the presidency?

[-] rocci@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago

Hey I just want to say I appreciate you treating me with respect which is more than I can say for a bunch of other commenters here.

I think the president has a decent amount of power, even with a hostile congress. They can declare a climate emergency, and get funding for renewable energy that way; they can enforce an arms embargo or other sanctions (on say, Israel), they can use the bully pulpit to point out the hypocrisy of congress's inaction.

But the most important thing to come out of it would be that the Democratic party would be forced to listen to people on the left, and not just court right wingers all the time.

Ah, name-calling instead of addressing my argument; classic!
