    Will a vote for Stein do more than help Trump?

    I cast my ballot for . . . ?

    Ends on a cliffhanger.

    Really the system needs to be reformed. The problem is FPTP.

    “I think it’s really important for people not to accept your powerlessness,” Stein said in the interview. “You’re being told you’re powerless. You’re actually not powerless. You are powerful. Nobody owns your vote. They have to earn your vote. And unless you are making them earn your vote, you are powerless.

    “. . . And what you see,” she goes on, “is what you’re going to get more of. Throughout history, we make progress when we stand up as movements, and those movements then have political vehicles.”

      You’re actually not powerless. […] And unless you are [doing what I say], you are powerless.

    And the actual reason that Democrats are bloodthirsty after Stein isn’t about ‘protecting democracy™’ it’s not to prevent a Harris loss, or ‘splitting the vote™.’ It’s that if the green party gets 5% this election, they get automatic ballot access in all 50 states without having to fight for it every single election. It entitles them to public funding of elections. It would also grant them a podium at the Presidential and Vice Presidential debates.

      Yeahhhhhh… about that 5%, that is completely impossible lol. Yes that is what people are worried about.

      I feel like you are a connoisseur of awful ideas.

      Where do you come up with this stuff? You really put a lot of assumed beliefs/motivations on large groups of people. It’s like you’re deep in echo-chamber talking points designed to divide subgroups, but have never actually talked to “Democrats” or “liberals”.

      Exactly! And Lemmy either refuses to admit that or they just don’t know. Hopefully your post educates them.
