“Jill Stein is a useful idiot for Russia. After parroting Kremlin talking points and being propped up by bad actors in 2016 she’s at it again,” DNC spokesman Matt Corridoni said in a statement to The Bulwark. “Jill Stein won’t become president, but her spoiler candidacy—that both the GOP and Putin have previously shown interest in—can help decide who wins. A vote for Stein is a vote for Trump.”

    Yes it does, but you have to weigh the pros and cons of your vote just like e everyone else.

      Its not crazy to acknowledge that the current choices are genocide or genocide light. You can even still vote for Kamala and feel slightly bad about her stance on Israel. Wheres the problem with allowing some nuance here? Turning this into all or nothing, live or die, good or evil, is not very convincing in my opinion.

        Yea well buddy, I’m sorry but I’m not going to just sit here and allow genocide or genocide light without calling you a jackass on the internet.

        But I will walk up to the store right now and get another beer.

          I actually don’t know if you are with me or against me, but I really like the energy of your post, made me feel like I was walking to the corner store with you.

      If Harris promised to stop sending weapons to Netanyahu, how many centrists do you think would become trumpers?

          You mean to tell me that centrists would rather throw a tantrum and withhold their votes just because they didn’t get 100% of everything they wanted, even when that would mean guaranteeing a Trump victory?

          The exact same shit they’ve been accusing progressives of doing? The same rationale they use to blame progressives for Clinton’s loss in 2016?

          Why does Vote Blue No Matter Who only ever work one way?

        Zero intelligent ones, because everyone knows we just need someone to say it at this point.

        But you know what?

        Harris can’t even say out loud that she will stop the genocide.
