Dont let online bullies influence your vote. Each citizen gets one vote, cast it for whom you wish to support. Learn about the issues, the policies being proposed, and cast your vote for whomever you support.

If you don’t like stein, consider voting party for socialism and liberation instead.

They’re running Claudia de la Cruz on a platform of Palestinian statehood and an end to arms shipments to israel.

I found out recently that they’re on the ballot or have official write in status in 42 states, so unless you’re in Alaska, Nevada, Montana, South Dakota, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Georgia or Pennsylvania go for it!

E: forgot Nevada. They’re not officially recognized in Nevada.

I’d advise that no one buy into any of this nonsense. De la Cruz has a mathematically impossible chance to win, and at this point will serve only to siphon votes and spoil the election. Knowingly or not, this is what is happening.

Think about it: Ever wonder why you’re really only hearing about them recently? Where were they four years ago? What have they done to prove they will even do as they say? They have no track record to stand on, but for some reason, these people seem to think they can sneak into an election and have a chance to win on unproven, untested policy with no practical or effective way to make any of it happen?

Make no mistake- there is no good intention from anyone asking you to throw away your vote on these people this late in the game- NONE.

Were it a year or two ago, I could maybe see it. But weeks away from what might be the most important election of our lifetime- to even think to request people not do everything they can to stop a racist rapist traitor to America from forcing our own militarily against us, systematically removing the rights of our LGBTQ+ friends and family, and the rights of women to have body autonomy is as shamelessly in bad faith as one could possibly be.

DO NOT LISTEN TO THESE PEOPLE.

I might be misremembering the electoral values of the states here, but I think the combined value of the states they’re not official write ins or on ballot is only 64.

That leaves 474 electoral votes that psl could get, so they very much could win.

The history of the party is easy to find. They’ve been around for a little while now.

I’d choose a party with no track record over one with a consistent track record of genocidal violence and extrajudicial killings, but luckily psl has a track record of grassroots activism that’s pretty consistent, so I don’t have to take a gamble.

It’s a bit absurd to call opposition to genocide and apartheid unproven, untested policy.

I’m swiftly climbing the ladder of age and my whole life people have been saying “well, you should have been advocating for this or that last year, it’s too late now, this is the most important election of our lifetime!”

The best time to vote (and do groundwork for) psl was last year, the second best time is now!

I agree with the last part though, don’t listen to people peddling tired cliches and misinformation trying to manipulate you into voting one way or the other!

News flash genius…. Most everyone here is opposed to genocide. As has been said before, you’re not part of some fringe grassroots group that figured out that genocide was bad ahead of everyone else.

Stop with that shit. I don’t believe you’re here in any good faith to help anyone in any way.

I remember 2020 where Trump did not win. All problems are fixed now.

I might risk voting 3rd party if this election wasn't a choice between boring corporatists and 100% concentrated evil.

The stakes are just too damn high to risk letting Trump get back into the White House again.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

This is the way.

The numbers in this image aren't real.
Also, why would you assume that those people voting for Stein would have preferred Clinton over Trump?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Why would someone who agrees with the Green Party platform prefer Republicans to Democrats? I'm sure such people exist, but I expect they're a tiny fraction of Green Party voters.

Those totals match the wikipedia article exactly, so if they’re wrong, please update them.

I assumed Stein voters were stupid and/or reckless but not evil. Perhaps you’re right though.

These numbers are ~~not~~ correct according to NY Times

Edit: I can’t math

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I double checked the subtraction with the NYT numbers you linked to, and the numbers look correct to me. Which numbers are wrong?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I think maybe he means numbers themselves are wrong? I mean look at 7. That number is just all kinds of fucked up. Don't get me started on 23.
