I'll never forget what third party voting gets us; additional fucking choices beyond the dominant two-party system, encouraging broader participation. When a Republican or Democrat candidate loses any race, it's common to see them use third party candidates as a scapegoat.

Ahh the illusion of choice. You vote third party and get another Trump presidency, but hey at least you got your morals, eh?

This proves that left leaning holdouts have real leverage. The Dems need us to win and if they want our votes they have to appeal to our values.

These numbers are ~~not~~ correct according to NY Times

Then maybe Kamala should stop glazing Israel's d. so much and actually do something to win back michigan muslims. They'll either vote third party or won't vote at all. The trumpists will vote Trump anyway. This post is purely delusional if you think you'll win some voting groups back just by dragging third party candidates through the mud. Especially voting groups so deeply involved in some issues that your beloved candidate clearly doesn't care about at all.

If you don’t like stein, consider voting party for socialism and liberation instead.

They’re running Claudia de la Cruz on a platform of Palestinian statehood and an end to arms shipments to israel.

I found out recently that they’re on the ballot or have official write in status in 42 states, so unless you’re in Alaska, Nevada, Montana, South Dakota, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Georgia or Pennsylvania go for it!

E: forgot Nevada. They’re not officially recognized in Nevada.

It's Jill Stein's fault the dems ran Hillary, it was all her master plan all along. She's also the one who did whatever the email shit was that people screamed about for 6 years. She must be stopped before she makes the administration do something crazy like supporting genocide

North America’s electoral systems are so broken. It’s painful to see so much negativity, frustration, and fear directed at third parties in general. If that same energy was directed towards building a ranked choice voting system with proportional representation, like single transferable voting (STV), the duopolies would crumble and we could all actually vote for whoever we want without having to worry we might end up with the worst candidate winning.

Never forget that in 2016 13% of Trump voters voted for Obama in 2008/12. Maybe the Democratic Party can share some blame, instead of just shaming the voters.

Move right to appeal to Republicans

They don't vote for you, lose anyway

Noooooo this is all Jill's fault.

We are not in a position to win the White House, but we do have a real opportunity to win something historic, we could deny Kamala Harris the state of Michigan. And the polls show that most likely Harris cannot win the election without Michigan.”

Every one so excited to back the lesser of two evils and wondering why things are the way they are

The Green Party thanks Lemmy for all the publicity it has brought to the Jill Stein campaign

Isn't Al Gore vs Bush an even better example?

I remember 2020 where Trump did not win. All problems are fixed now.
