    Your ‘protest vote’ for Jill Stein is really a vote for Donald Trump

    And it always has been.

        And George W. Bush.

        And Donald Trump (the first time).

        If the Green Party wasn’t a thing, there would be a lot of elections that the Republicans wouldn’t have won, because the margins were just that thin.

          Guess the Democrats would be better served by being more welcoming rather than just calling Green Party voters idiots then.

                No, no one is wondering why a tiny fraction of the public willfully chooses to throw their vote away. It’s actually impressive that on this one issue only half a percent or so are so woefully uneducated. We don’t need to wonder why, all we are concerned with is that fascism is on the ballot and so we need you to stop spreading this donkey-brainery because we even need morons to vote for Harris. If Trump is elected, as everyone paying attention knows, we are absolutely fucked. No amount of pretending to be a socialist will change that. Btw, come the fuck on. You are not a socialist. We all know what you are. WoKeFrEe is perhaps the only sliver of truth in that story you call a profile.

                Because you can’t self reflect?

                Don’t confuse your ego with the world outside yourself.

          That’s assuming green party voters would vote for the dems, which probably isn’t the case. They’d be more likely to just not vote.

            That could mean that 60% of the US leans green.

            Or they’re just apathetic and attaching a social meaning to their apathy feels good.

            I’m not sure I agree with that estimation, but even then I’d say that the majority of Green Party voters who would decide to vote anyways would probably vote Dem over GOP, and that still matters.

            Because only one of those parties is trying to deny me basic human rights, I can’t say I’m sympathetic to anyone who would choose not to vote out of spite just because they don’t personally have as much at stake.

              You must not have been alive in the 90s or 00s if you think Dems wouldnt and dont want to deny your basic human rights

                I remember when the Dems repealed roe v Wade.

                Oh wait that was trump and the GOP. My mistake.

                I was definitely there when the dems tried to ban music based on it’s offensive nature.

                Oh wait that was Reagan and the GOP. My mistake.

                I was there when the Dems banned foreign travelers based on nationality.

                Oh wait that was trump and the GOP. My mistake.

                  Neither Dems nor the GOP did the first one, Dems did fail to ever codify the right to privacy or bodily autonomy though, despite every legal scholar for 50 years saying roe was a Shakey decision.

                  The second one never happened, unless you’re confused by just the general existence of the FCC with your half remembered fantasy, and yes, I do remember when Dems fully supported banning travellers based on nationality, Biden cowrote that bill.
