It has been said a gazillion times over the last few months, but is it getting through to those who need to hear it?

      no, because stein is a stooge and has no chance at all of winning anyway. that’s the entire point of the article.

          She is funded by republicans and has no experience in government whatsoever. She is utterly unqualified for running the most powerful country on earth. She literally only exists to take votes from democrats.

            Now, now… She did win a seat in the Lexington town meeting in 2005. :)

            https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jill_Stein

            "2005 Lexington Town Meeting

            In 2005, Stein set her sights locally, running for the Lexington Town Meeting, a representative town meeting, the local legislative body in Lexington, Massachusetts. Stein was elected to one of seven seats in Precinct 2.[156] She finished first of 16 candidates, receiving 539 votes (20.6%). Stein was reelected in 2008, finishing second of 13 vying for eight seats.[157] Stein resigned during her second term to again run for governor.[158]"

              I’m not talking about republican-leaning citizens, I’m talking about the literal Republican Party funding Stein. Trump’s personal attorney Jay Sekulow has represented Stein in various court cases around this election.

              So this whole, she isn’t the “establishment” thing

              nice straw man.

              Are you saying she doesn’t have experience on being a corporate puppet like establishment politicians do? And that is a bad thing why?

              I’m saying she literally has no experience with how government works, in any aspect. She’s a physician. She has no law degree, no experience in legislation at any level, no experience in administration at any level. No foreign policy experience at all (except dining with Putin). I’d sooner vote for AOC to be president than Jill Stein.

      Give it up bud. The veil is lifted and no one is falling for it.

          You hopefully won’t be able to sleep at night when things get worse because you refused to get your hands a little dirty doing what’s best.

          I don’t like to clean dirty dishes, but it’s got to be done sometimes. I’d rather it just go away, but the alternative is much worse. I recognize that doing nothing doesn’t actually accomplish anything, as nice as that feels. I have to just get over it and get it done before things get much worse.

              Don’t worry. I know that you were going to sleep fine regardless. You’re likely a decently well off white person. It wasn’t going to bother you no matter what. You aren’t the people who you are sacraficing, and you’re OK with that. That’s fine. Don’t pretend like you’re hands are clean though. You’re a part of this, and you have the power to participate in a meaningful way. You’re choosing not to so you can feign moral superiority though. That’s cool. I see you though.

                  I didn’t say rich, but I’m sure you’re not struggling to survive. You didn’t contradict it, so…

                  When the election is actually between two people, one of those two are going to be elected. One of them will amplify things, the other will not. I know which one I’d want if I’m a Palestinian. Luckily for you, you aren’t a Palestinian and you’re perfectly willing to sacraficed them so you can tell everyone else that your morals are so good and your hands are “clean.” It’s really convenient how easy it is, and I’m happy for you that you found this loophole. Meanwhile I have to sit in my recognition that people are suffering and I am trying to do what I can.

          Okay… well, either way- at least we won’t have to hear from you all after November… so, enjoy it while it lasts I guess. We’ll all just see you again in 2028 when you push whoever is running against democratic choice.

              Your “nO i’M nOt! U aRe!” has the same vibe as “I know you are but what am I?” Which is to say…. Cringy.

              And whether you will predictably disappear along with the rest of the idealist leftists that always do once an election is decided- will remain to be seen.

              I’ll stick around because I’ll have no reason to hide. If we win, I’ll be here celebrating with everyone else. And if we lose, I’ll be here blaming people like you…

              With everyone else.

                  I don’t give a shit about Cheney. He’s a powerless blowhard. He has zero to do with anyone and no power to commit any thing to reality- aside from him supporting her over a traitorous dementia addled rapist he’s nothing to no one.

                  … but you know this already, don’t you?

                  And don’t think we all don’t see you people constantly attack Harris over her accepting support from Cheney, while being starkly silent about all the assholes that support Trump. And for that matter, anything at all that is critical of Trump.

                  We know what you’re up to, buddy. You can stop now.
