@benroyce @WAHa_06x36 @baconandcoconut A vote for Jill Stein is a vote for Jill Stein, not for Donald Trump.

And there are good reasons to vote for her (if, as I do, you support her policy positions), even though she is not going to win this election. This is so because if Stein garners 5% of the national vote, the Green Party will qualify for federal funding, helping to establish a viable alternative to the duopoly for future elections.

The first sentence is completly wrong.
i'd be very interested to know where this fanciful translation comes from.

tu es prompt à sortir les français. Je me demande si vous vivez aux États-Unis. Comment se déroulent les opérations agricoles de trolls de nos jours ?

@gwm @Mourioche @WAHa_06x36 @baconandcoconut

working for putin

as a fool who doesn't understand the voting system of their own country and what fptp and duvergers law does to the value of a third party vote

vote democrat, and support those candidates that will give us ranked choice

then we can truly vote our conscience, third party, something i want

and something you want, but you're currently working against your own goals. because you don't understand the american voting system

@gwm @Mourioche @WAHa_06x36 @baconandcoconut

but you are working for putin

supporting third party candidates only serves as a spoiler on democrats and therefore helps get us trump

many troll brigades know this, and push the same lies you push

they prey on the ignorant who do not understand the american voting system

if you are not such a troll, you serve them unwittingly

do you understand the concept of someone who cares deeply, but the effect of their actions only hurts their own cause?

@gwm @Mourioche @WAHa_06x36 @baconandcoconut

you absolutely do not understand the american voting system

twice i have linked to you duverger's law

veuillez lire et comprendre les paroles de monsieur duverger, car vos paroles sont profondément et fièrement ignorantes en ce moment

if you vote blue you get *better* on the issue of genocide

if you vote green you help get us red, which is *worse* on the issue of genocide

the ironclad truth is your current words and actions give us more genocide

@benroyce @gwm @Mourioche @WAHa_06x36 @baconandcoconut it’s like you’re in a car at a T intersection stop sign where you can turn right or left.

But because you want the road to keep going you decide to drive off the cliff. That’ll show ‘em!

@gwm @WAHa_06x36 @johnstonphilip @Mourioche

10 people in a room

4 want genocide

6 do not

they vote

4 vote genocide

3 vote not genocide

3 vote "i am a toxic idealist who expects perfection"

pro-genocide carries the vote and commits it

this analogy represents the only real value of a third party vote, or no vote, in the broken ass american fptp voting system

do not be a toxic idealist, harming your own cause

Understand that people want clarity, and are upset that Harris has not come right out and told them what they want to hear. But, before she can do what they want her to do, she has to win the election first. The nasty reality of electoral politics in the US right now is she is forced to be less than direct because of all the constituencies involved. The point is she can't end the war if she is not elected.

1/2

@benroyce @gwm @WAHa_06x36 @johnstonphilip @Mourioche

But if you are listening, last night in Ann Arbor Michigan Harris gave what may be her most forceful expression yet on her intention to end the war.

https://www.youtube.com/live/8wEv5rxXI5U?si=1iSRbL_D2Cl8xe0l&t=3556

"And listen hey, on the subject of Gaza. Hey guys, I hear you. On the subject of Gaza. We all want this war to end as soon as possible. Get the hostages out. I will do everything in my power to make it so."

thats the same exact party line they've been trotting out all year. call me when she mentions the genocide.

i agree with voting harris as harm reduction but don't piss on our face and tell us its raining.
