Decades of shitty democrat policy with hollow platitudes and no action boosts Stein as the preferred candidate.
Fixed the title
From your post history, I’m going to have to say it looks like you’ve never fixed - or honestly done much of- anything in your life. Political Edgelord is definitely a vibe. In fact, I’m not sure I can find a single example of you improving a discussion on here.
Weird that you keep posting in the exact same way though. Almost like you’re playing a character rather than being a real person reacting to things.
I tagged this account as a "Right-wing troll/Russian Bot" months ago lol
I have them tagged as "🇷🇺🤡" for the same reason
I put funny tags on accounts like this so that I can easily identify them. I can't repeat this account's tag as I wouldn't want the operator to feel like I'm attacking their character, but your experience has been mine as well.
Same here. Nice to know who is consistently wrong and/or pushing agendas.
I've had many altercations with anticolonialist. He states that he's been fighting on the streets for communism his whole life. (Highly doubt)
I vote green in my own country, where it’s an actual organized party, and even I can see from here that Stein is a Republican plant at best.
Democratic legislators won't protect her marriage by codifying Obergefell, just like they refused to codify Roe when they had the chance. Democratic legislators spent decades on half-measures and it had to be decided by the Supreme Court instead. Now that sort of incrementalism is a dead end. SCOTUS works against the people.
When the Supreme Court overturns Obergefell, what's Democrats' plan to get her rights back? We gave them the necessary majorities to codify both Roe and Obergefell, and they did neither. And I'm not seeing any concrete plans to move the needle back on Roe. Do you suppose there are any for Obergefell?
When it happens, will you also make excuses for how the party squandered majorities that we gave them?
On behalf of your daughter who's marriage may be under threat because of the Respect for Marriage act from Democrats she may be no better off then before 2012 depending where she lives. What protections have Dems provided for your son other than lip service in the face of republicans passing over 500 anti-trans bills the last several years? The DNC claims to have their backs while denying them affordable housing, livable wages, access to affordable health and mental care. Nothing but lip service from them.
The first 2 months of US bombs in Gaza had the same environmental impact as burning 150k tons of coal. That war has been going on for nearly 12 months. Out of one side of their mouth they talk about mitigating environmental damage. But their actions tell a different story.
What the fuck are you even talking about?
If SCOTUS strikes down Obergefell or Loving it allows states to refuse licenses to same sex and/or interracial couples.
Ok? That's on SCOTUS.
Then the entire argument has nothing to do with democrats and you "people" are giving Dems, who are mostly anti gay marriage, way, way too much credit.
Oh cute, a 1 day old account spouting nonsense.
Or surprised to see this right wing nonsense outside of reddit and facebook. It's genuinely amazing that you people are smart enough to leave the mainstream internet.
If Russia was as half as powerful as you people give it credit for you'd be speaking russian already.

Why you are supporting someone that won't protect them
It takes a simple plurality to eliminate the filibuster. They use it as a weapon to prevent legislation they have no intention of passing, just like their rotating villains
3 of those conservative sitting SCOTUS justices are there because of direct action from Democrats, they HELPED Republicans stack the court
Nothing but excuses and carrying water for right wing authoritarians.
I'm sure you would be sticking around if I contributed to your echo chamber
What's more hollow than the Green Party saying they'll do all these great things and then never winning office? That's far less action than what the Democrats have done for the people.
Cant believe they wouldnt just choose to win office
It's their choice to file proper paperwork to get on ballots and they're choosing to be incompetent.
They've filed the proper paper work, the Dems love to sue though
They did. https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/nevada-democrats-sue-to-block-green-party-from-2024-ballot
They resubmitted the signatures with a form given to them by the secretary of state.
Absolutely no one weighing in on this seems to care about the intent of the forms, only that theres a technicality to bar a candidate they dont like from participating in democracy. The form is for submitting petition signatures to show enough support to appear on the ballot, and both submissions of the form contained 3 times the required number of signatures.
You're right. It's sad how fascist people are these days.
Btw, it is, at its core, fascist to suppress or deny people their rights, including the right to vote and the right to run for office. This is literally fascism.
How dare people not blindly vote blue no matter who for the 100th time while material conditions worsen. This is the same collective of people bragging about Dick Cheney endorsements, and said Harris doesn't even need to promise any policy. The threat of Trumpism will continue after the election and future ones.
The DNC will always have a Trump as a big scary Boogeyman
