The Jill Stein hate requires a lot of ignorance and very little faith in the candidate running at the head of the Democratic Party.

Obama crushed McCain and Romney, green party be damned. Biden squeaked by Trump on thinner margins than Trump beat Hilary. Nobody cared about Stein in that race.

What changed? Why are Democrats so terrified of the green party all of a sudden?

Because Biden just squeaked by Trump. Leading to 50%-ish of the US population and 80%-ish of Republican voters believing that the last election got stolen. Also leading to a lot of election officials in key states being replaced by fair election denying nutjobs.

Haven't you been paying attention in the past few years?

I'm not even in the US and I'm already exhausted with the BS that's upcoming, if there's no landslide victory for any of the candidates.

Be aware that any third party vote will be a vote for trump. If that's what you truly want, I fear for your sanity.

Btw, it's not true that nobody cared about Stein in the previous election. Back then they too said "a vote for Stein is a vote for trump". You may not have heard it personally, but that message was out there. And it's still true today!

I'm voting Jill. All your liberal gaslighting just hardens my resolve. I don't care how many convoluted explanations you come up with to say I'm voting for Trump. My ballot never said Trump and never will.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Correct, but your ballot helps Trump win nonetheless.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

No, your refusal to field an actual popular candidate with actual progressive policies helps Trump win.

Homie, I do not control who the DNC fields. I am basing my strategy on the facts of the situation as they are presented to me. Where's your popular candidate?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Right, you only tirelessly shill for them by browbeating anyone that has a problem with their candidate currently overseeing a genocide.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

No, just browbeating anyone who thinks the genocide wouldn't get worse under the worse candidate

Someone not even from the US understands this better than you?

Man… you have no excuses.

At this point it’s clear to me why you’re here and what you’re about.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

My ballot never said Trump and never will.

When your vote comes with a free red hat, it kinda does.

And the Shill Stein love requires zero common sense, and a shit load of entitlement.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The only people insisting someone is entitled to your vote are shills working for the Ds and Rs

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

No one is insisting anyone is entitled to anyone’s vote. We are however insisting that you try and understand how voting statistics and simple grade-school math works.

Everyone else has this figured out already? Why are we so close to an election and you still don’t? Do you seriously think that you have some big hidden secret figured out? You know better than the overwhelming majority of an entire country?

Every generation does this shit. You think you know how it works. You don’t.

a shit load of entitlement.

:-/

There arguments have been made. You simply don't like the conclusions other people have reached.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It’s amusing that you have the nerve to accuse others of being shills.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It's curious to see what touches your nerves

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Solid burn there, guy. It made no sense at all but bravo for stringing the words together.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago (1 children)

This, but since dot world is infested with Reddit liberals you're getting down voted into oblivion.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

They’re getting downvoted into oblivion because everyone here knows better.

It’s always easy to be the most ignorant one in the the room if you ignore everyone that tries to tell you how and why you’re wrong.
