Because I'm sure that LA, in california, is under threat of swinging right if people protest vote too much. I'm sure of it, it just makes sense.

The people who don't vote will far out number those who vote for Jill Stein. Why do we let them off the hook when they would have a larger impact on the election.

Don't get me wrong, Jill Stein sucks, but don't blame her voters. Blame those who don't vote to blame those who blindly vote for trump because of "the taxes"

I am tired of blaming someone who gets 2% for when bad things happen. Blame the 30% who did nothing.

I realize a portion of those who don't vote are due to voter suppression, bring the fire you bring for stein voters to those suppressing votes, it will be a more effective strategy. Stein and her voters are an easy scapegoat.

Maybe we should be asking Democrats why they aren't trying harder to satisfy leftist voters instead?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Because leftist "voters" don't vote.

Then Jill Stein shouldn't have any impact right? Since according to you leftists aren't voting anyway.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Let me put it this way: the kind of idiot voting for Stein is not a big enough demographic that they're worth pissing off everyone else

If they would OTHERWISE vote dem maybe. But you clearly don't give a shit and never considered that a possibility anyway. The dems will never find a candidate to satisfy everyone, never mind an otherwise irrelevant fringe of socialist college students

You mean the guy who lost twice in the primaries?

If you're too weak to beat Hilldog you'll never win against the GOP

Judging from your tone, I think you’re right. Liberals would never have voted for Bernie.
