Jill Stein opposed the genocide in Gaza which was supported by the Democrats and Republicans. As a result, she had support in many Arab-American communities. There were a lot of news stories about this, particularly towards the end of the election.
Our election system mathematically guarantees there will be only two useful choices. Any attempt to swap one of those out requires years of transition in which you are actively helping the side who agrees with you even less to win and move you further away from what you want.
Until we have more ubiquitous ranked-choice-esque systems, that will not change.
Yes, but this has to be done in a more local level. Trying to force a new party into existence starting at the federal level is not planning for success
US voters
I voted for Jill Stein, don’t blame me
Please tell me this is a joke.
Has to be.

Nope, they were adamantly campaigning here the whole time.
how did you not hand the US to amerikkkan oligarchy?
The White Christian Demopublican oligarchy is guilty of genocide so I voted for the nice Jewish Lady who promised to stop it.
By voting for Jill Stein.
The left keeps voting for Democrats, and the country keeps getting more and more fascist. But sure, it’s the Green Party that’s the problem!
How to trigger an american?
Tell them you voted third party. Yes, the two party system is perfectly ok.
Do you have brain damage? Fucking nobody thinks the two party system is ok, we just aren’t delusional.
The only real choice tbh.
Oof! Ha ha
PD: How do I ban people who post hard truths?
If only the American people weren’t addicted to republicans and democrats. This might not happen.

Step 1 is voting for people who want to change the system - and they do exist

Exactly, from the bottom up. Local candidates are probably the only ones you have a real chance of meeting and engaging with more often.
if only American politics wasn’t so organically intertwined with billionaires…
If only Kamala had won, then the Biden administration wouldn’t be doing this
For the ones in the back: the presidential elections aren’t the only elections.
