There's something really funny about a ballot referendum question that is just:

Jill Stein
Yes
No

 

but they’re sooooo predatory!

 

I also hope the dems lose Nevada

 

That would be very bad

 

I’m glad mysteryknight is running over time on making sure the greens don’t spoil another election and we can let a horrible dem take over once again, thanks bud

 

ratfucking the greens off the ballot is pretty bad so they get what they deserve

 

It's true, I heard the Secretary of State was standing over the shoulder of the civil servant working for the DOE who gave them the wrong info, making sure they did so.

Someone fucking up at a govt office being turned into "The dems ratfucked the green party" is......well, it's not Occam's razor lol

 

I’ll go ahead and open my closet…I voted for Stein in 2016. Within my top 3 worst mistakes.

 

at least Stein has an actual policy platform lol

 

you’re an absolute joke of a human sometimes

 

I couldn’t possibly look myself in the mirror if every day I ran defense for a genocidal political party

 

I mean I do think it's stupid the Dems even sued over it, though I get the idea of 'enforcing the rules' and all that, they really shouldn't be in fear of anything the Greens will do there IMO. But the whole paperwork nonsense isn't a ratfuck, it's a dumbass civil servant giving them the wrong info, and the Party not double checking the rules and catching the error. Like, there's a reason why that tweeter was only posting certain excerpts from the news story and not others lol

 

The difference between you and me here seems to be that you think i'm "defending a genocidal political party" and I don't really give a shit about "defending" any party moreso than just calling out misleading info/dumbass rhetoric/etc.

 

well yes i certainly would not like to see the greens to spoil another election and give power to the far-right republican once again

wouldn't consider pointing out something bad Jill Stein "liked" as running over time though

 

Third party discourse sucks, if your campaign isn’t appealing enough to the point where a third party is that big a factor then run a better campaign

 

Fun fact: third parties don’t “spoil” elections. Rather, they earn the votes of voters by offering policies and positions that align with the values of those voters. Other parties are equally free to earn the votes of those same voters, or the millions who choose not to
vote, by offering similar policies and positions on issues important to said voters.

Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk.

 

If votes for Jill Stein would “spoil” Harris’ chances of winning, that’s honestly Harris’ fault for not running a better campaign.

 

As it stands, I won’t be voting for either major party’s candidate for president this year.

 

Just wanted to chime in and say since 2008, I've always voted third party and will continue to do so.
