The Green Party of England and Wales has voted to recognise Israel’s actions in Gaza as a genocide, becoming the first major British political party to do so.

Having made Gaza a prominent plank of its campaign in several areas during the July general election, the party won an unprecedented four seats in parliament.

The motion, which was passed at the party’s annual conference on Sunday afternoon, branded Israel’s assault on Gaza a “genocide” - and declared support for the Boycott, Divest and Sanctions (BDS) movement

    As someone who has previously voted for Stein in a deep blue state, there’s no skin in the game for her so she can say whatever she wants. I regret it now because I was still upset about what the DNC did to Bernie in the primary. I just don’t understand the viability of a third party besides as a spoiler under the current system (by design I’m sure). Blue MAGA is a thought terminating cliche though, using a broad brush to sweep disagreement aside but you do you.

      “I voted for Stein but also she’s an obvious Russian plant”

      Sure.

        “people aren’t allowed to change their minds after 8 years regardless of any information that they may learn in that time”

        Sure.

          Consuming and spreading propaganda is not learning information.

          Stein was investigated they found no links to Russia.

            I have to remind you again that you are the one spreading Russian propaganda?

            Two and counting today alone.

            Both deleted.

              Yes Lemmy.World mods are actively banning mentions of Kamala Harris’ complicity in the Genocide of Gaza. on LW /News, /WorldNews and /Politics.

              Not sure how that is relevant to this thread. Does Russia run israel too?

                  Everyone was just enjoying their Genocide and I came to ruin the fun.

                  Next time I’ll say nothing like a good mature person and help support the modern day holocaust :D

                    Again, God forbid you display any reflection.

                    You are not here to talk about Gaza. You are here to pick fights. And when they don’t go your way you run to mommy admin like a discount Karen yelling for the manager.

            Do you have any concrete information that points to a successful green party win in the current electoral system controlled entirely by the two parties that isn’t just ensuring Trump is the next president again (who Russia actively strives to promote through actual propaganda farms)? If not then you’re not bringing solutions, you’re just muddying the waters for no productive reason.
