Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

Cool. Joe Biden is a genocidal dottering old fuck.
What's your plan? If anyone has a functional alternative to preventing the country from failing completely into Christian fascistism in November I am all fucking ears.
Jill Stein appears to be the candidate to rally behind.
Functional plan. If Stein was able to coalesce power she would have done it in the past decade. Even with the russian propaganda she barely broke 1% of the popular vote.
Yeah israeli propaganda is much better. Gets those libs all riled up and hallucinating.
Not even saying she was a plant, just a useful tool. Jill Stein has had chances and failed-not a viable plan. So what else?
Hillary Clinton was a useful tool.
Biden just announced he's gonna keep running so if you don't want Stein you better get ready for Trump.
Please explain Jill Stein's path to victory to me.
The same as Biden's plan to victory. The only one not making it happen is voters, she is on enough states ballots to get to 270. A vote for Biden is a throwaway vote, last night was the nail in his presidential coffin
So. Biden being less than 10 points behind in swing states is a death knell. But Stein needing to make up 50 points everwhere is doable? Really. Reeeeally The Biden alternative needs to have a snowball's chance.
These people are insane lmao. Stein is the choice? and it's up to the voters to make it right?, shouted from right here from Lemmy - the famous public square of the internet, no less.
I really appreciate the content they post most of the time but there are better candidates out there who have more skin in the game and aren't Russian cutouts like fucking Jill Stein. Then again, someone posted a young Turks video in which Uygur makes the same argument criticizing Biden for his failures at the debate and it instantly caught like 15 down votes. Lemmy is fake as fuck.
The only one denying that chance are voters. They could either vote for the potato that they just saw at the debate or they can vote for an alternative that can complete sentences. One that actually has viable policies to help the climate and the working class. Instead of hollow platitudes coming from capitalists.
Which policies?
Joe Biden is a guaranteed loss. All the Democrats jump ship. Jill Stein has the most momentum and isn't senile. We live happily ever after.
