You’re seeing anti-Stein rhetoric lately because it’s a Presidential election year and that’s the only time the Green party tries to be visible.
I’m sure the two or three Green people at the local level believe in the party’s stated platform, but at the higher level it absolutely looks like the party exists only to siphon votes away from the Democratic party.
In other words, a consummate Republican.
The GOP campaigns on problems; the Dems campaign on solutions. Unfortunately, one of those is much easier to message than the other.
Why not have the cameras on a VLAN that has no Internet access?
The people who have nothing to be proud of except their skin color or what genitals they have are now being told those aren’t something they should be proud of. And now they realize that they don’t have anything to be proud of, they’re rebelling. But they’re blaming those they look down on, instead of directing their rage at the real reason they have nothing- the wealthy ownership class and the political party they control.
All Trump supporters are either bigots or billionaires.
And that’s an inclusive or, by the way. We aren’t Republicans you know. 🙂
As the saying goes:
To the privileged, equality feels like oppression.
Of course she does.
She’s terrified that if the Dems take the House back, she’ll lose her committee seats again. Like all small-government advocates, she wants power.
Their deaths do not matter to these people.
It’s going to be women who spearhead the work to overturn these bans. Republicans don’t give a flying fuck about children being murdered in schools; the deaths of those “slutty sinful evil babykilling whores” but not me, I’m a good person who needed my abortion! isn’t going to make them change their minds. Remember: to a Republican, any fact which doesn’t conform to their worldview (like abortion bans increasing the number of dead women, or comprehensive sex ed and easy-to-access birth control reduces abortions) is just simply wrong.
Guns are only good when I have a gun. When you have a gun, then I’m terrified for my life and have to stand my ground. Especially if I’m “defending” property that may or may not be mine.
Hell, I’m still holding out for his heart to explode during one of his Klan rallies.
You made this?
…I made this!
Kamala spanked Trump so hard, he owes her $130,000.
evidence-based
And all the evidence shows that, as the US is currently, voting for third-parties hurts you far more by allowing the major party that least represents you to win. You can’t claim to adhere to “evidence” if you don’t acknowledge that fact.
Also, I’m going to let you in on a little secret: I don’t want any of the current third parties to win. None of them are serious beyond being spoilers for the major parties- they don’t host voter drives, they don’t campaign for local and state elections, they don’t do anything for four years then show up and expect to have the same shot as the major parties.
I’m perfectly happy voting for a party to win who agrees with 60% of what I want than getting 0% of what I want, because it’s the rational choice to make.
And the sooner you swallow that pill, the sooner you’ll realize that politics is not about emotions, it about strategy, and voting for third-parties isn’t a winning one.
Nobody is saying the US system can’t be changed to accommodate third-parties.
What they are saying is that third-parties aren’t viable the way things are now.
You can’t elect third parties to change the system; the system has to be changed to elect third parties. Until then, voting for a third party is wasting a vote and advocating for others to do so is telling them to vote against the major party that is both more likely to win and also the one that more closely represents their values.
The exception, of course, is if one of the major parties suffers an implosion like the Whigs did in the mid-1800s. But the Dems are more unified than ever and the Republicans are brainwashed by right-wing media, so I don’t see that happening any time soon.
May as well campaign at a graveyard.
Given the number of boomers who live there, you might be more right than you know.
No most of them started out as monarchies so they cant have parliaments. That would be a change in how the government functions, and that’s impossible
Well that’s not true at all. Parliamentary monarchies are absolutely a thing, the UK being one.
TIL that “scientifically being able to prove the FPTP system the US uses will always devolve into a two-party system and make third-party candidates nothing more than spoilers” is “gaslighting” and “third-parties who do fuck-all for four years and curiously only show up to run for president instead of GOTV pushes and trying to win elections at local levels to build support for their party” is propaganda.
Who knew? Well, aside from everyone who knows how the US system is set up and isn’t arguing in bad faith, that is.
Wait… Are the .ml mods the same mods who ran /r/Pyongyang? Anyone seen them in the same place?
Hey buddy, my preferred third-party vote will totally matter this time!
