Decades of shitty democrat policy with hollow platitudes and no action boosts Stein as the preferred candidate.
Fixed the title
How dare people not blindly vote blue no matter who for the 100th time while material conditions worsen. This is the same collective of people bragging about Dick Cheney endorsements, and said Harris doesn't even need to promise any policy. The threat of Trumpism will continue after the election and future ones.
The DNC will always have a Trump as a big scary Boogeyman
From your post history, I’m going to have to say it looks like you’ve never fixed - or honestly done much of- anything in your life. Political Edgelord is definitely a vibe. In fact, I’m not sure I can find a single example of you improving a discussion on here.
Weird that you keep posting in the exact same way though. Almost like you’re playing a character rather than being a real person reacting to things.
I've had many altercations with anticolonialist. He states that he's been fighting on the streets for communism his whole life. (Highly doubt)
I tagged this account as a "Right-wing troll/Russian Bot" months ago lol
I have them tagged as "🇷🇺🤡" for the same reason
I put funny tags on accounts like this so that I can easily identify them. I can't repeat this account's tag as I wouldn't want the operator to feel like I'm attacking their character, but your experience has been mine as well.
Same here. Nice to know who is consistently wrong and/or pushing agendas.
I vote green in my own country, where it’s an actual organized party, and even I can see from here that Stein is a Republican plant at best.
No action?
On behalf of my gay daughter who will be able to marry who she wants to because of Democrats, I just want to say [REDACTED SO I WON'T GET BANNED]. And on behalf of my son, who is trans, [THESE WORDS WOULD ALSO GET ME BANNED].
Come to think of it, I have Democrats to thank for a return to sane pandemic policies, and Democrats to thank for the Inflation Reduction Act, the most impactful environmental legislation in thirty years. So you can take your "no action" and [NOPE, NOT GONNA SAY IT].
I'm under no illusion that Democrats are perfect, but they've been as effective as possible, given the situation with literal Russian assets on the other side of the aisle, trying as hard as possible to destroy America.
Democratic legislators won't protect her marriage by codifying Obergefell, just like they refused to codify Roe when they had the chance. Democratic legislators spent decades on half-measures and it had to be decided by the Supreme Court instead. Now that sort of incrementalism is a dead end. SCOTUS works against the people.
What part of the last two decades had a filibuster-proof Democratic supermajority in the Senate? I'll tell you: A two-week span under Obama, during which Ted Kennedy was busily dying in a hospital.
And what part of the last two decades had sufficient Democratic votes to eliminate or reform the filibuster? I'll tell you that, too: None.
Perfect is the enemy of the good. Democrats have been good for my daughter. Republicans are guaranteed, 100%, to be much, much worse. Stop trying to sabotage her future.
On behalf of your daughter who's marriage may be under threat because of the Respect for Marriage act from Democrats she may be no better off then before 2012 depending where she lives. What protections have Dems provided for your son other than lip service in the face of republicans passing over 500 anti-trans bills the last several years? The DNC claims to have their backs while denying them affordable housing, livable wages, access to affordable health and mental care. Nothing but lip service from them.
The first 2 months of US bombs in Gaza had the same environmental impact as burning 150k tons of coal. That war has been going on for nearly 12 months. Out of one side of their mouth they talk about mitigating environmental damage. But their actions tell a different story.
You don't get to speak on behalf of my daughter or my son when you're working as hard as you possibly can to elect the Republicans who want to destroy their futures.
Why you are supporting someone that won't protect them
What the fuck are you even talking about?
If SCOTUS strikes down Obergefell or Loving it allows states to refuse licenses to same sex and/or interracial couples.
Ok? That's on SCOTUS.
Then the entire argument has nothing to do with democrats and you "people" are giving Dems, who are mostly anti gay marriage, way, way too much credit.
Oh cute, a 1 day old account spouting nonsense.
Day old account and already attacking Dems and defending Stein? Wouldn't be at all surprising if this is a sockpuppet. Definitely not here in good faith.
Or surprised to see this right wing nonsense outside of reddit and facebook. It's genuinely amazing that you people are smart enough to leave the mainstream internet.
lol people are seeing through your bullshit, you gotta be more subtle or Daddy Putin will put you on the front lines.
If Russia was as half as powerful as you people give it credit for you'd be speaking russian already.
What's more hollow than the Green Party saying they'll do all these great things and then never winning office? That's far less action than what the Democrats have done for the people.
Cant believe they wouldnt just choose to win office
It's their choice to file proper paperwork to get on ballots and they're choosing to be incompetent.
They did. https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/nevada-democrats-sue-to-block-green-party-from-2024-ballot
They resubmitted the signatures with a form given to them by the secretary of state.
Absolutely no one weighing in on this seems to care about the intent of the forms, only that theres a technicality to bar a candidate they dont like from participating in democracy. The form is for submitting petition signatures to show enough support to appear on the ballot, and both submissions of the form contained 3 times the required number of signatures.
You're right. It's sad how fascist people are these days.
Btw, it is, at its core, fascist to suppress or deny people their rights, including the right to vote and the right to run for office. This is literally fascism.
They've filed the proper paper work, the Dems love to sue though
