Jill Stein, Claudia De la Cruz, and Cornel West urge voters to Abandon Harris over Gaza
You're viewing a single thread.
Because electing Trump would be soooo much better for Gaza...
“I guess it makes them look tough. But to me, it doesn’t make them look tough. They’re losing the PR war. They’re losing it big. But they’ve got to finish what they started, and they’ve got to finish it fast, and we have to get on with life.”
Claudia De La Cruz and Cornell West aren't on the ballot in enough states to win a ham sandwich.

Stein technically is on the ballot in enough states to win, but she represents a party that continually hovers around 1% or less. The best the Greens have done was under Ralph Nader 24 years ago and is largely blamed for 8 years of George W. Bush.
Only 2 parties are on the ballot in all states, Democratic and Republican. The winner of the election will be from one of those two parties.
You help Harris win or you get a President who thinks Israel needs to wipe out Gaza faster.
So are you picking Harris not because she will not do the same things but because she would do the same things but in a slower fashion and also just to show that we have no other options?
not sure that would classify as a democracy are you trying to enforce the elite’s false dichotomy?
I'm picking Harris because Trump would accelerate the genocide and bring the worst Israeli policies here.
Israel illegally invaded Lebanon to set up a "security zone":

Trump would do the same for Mexico:
“Vote Harris for a slower genocide” isn’t going to win you Michigan.
The alternative is "Don't vote Harris and get a genocide here."
No one in Michigan is going to fall for that.
They will if Trump is elected.
No, they won't. Because there's not going to be any genocide in Michigan. You're delusional.
You're fearmongering about a hypothetical genocide in order to distract from a very real, very current genocide, and that is contemptible.
The term "genocide" was invented by survivors of the Holocaust to be a klaxon call. The idea was that this crime needed a unique, distinct name so that when people heard it, they'd know to drop everything and intervene.
It wasn't invented to be used in political propaganda. When you abuse the term, you undermine its usefulness. You undermine its purpose.
Trump intends to revoke birthright citizenship and round up and put into detention camps all sorts of people:

Yeah, this is why I'm voting Trump.
I mean, pro-war crime is definitely a choice...
Damn, you are brave for saying that in THIS community!
But hey, I respect and support your right to vote for whoever you want to.
And good on ya for having the balls to say it to this crowd.
They wanna string me up, and all because I vote third party. I can only imagine what your DM's will be like after admiting your voting for trump! lol
Oh, you're voting for trump too lol
Nah, I did just post a libertarian article. And libertarians in effect would take votes AWAY from trump. https://lemmy.world/post/18907042
That doesn't really fit the narrative that a lot of Lemmys seem to want for me though. lol
And libertarians in effect would take votes AWAY from trump
Oh so you do believe in spoiler candidates? What's your defense for constant third party and green party advocacy if you know it's a statistical fact that spoiler effect exists?
No, I don't believe in it. I was using the argument that you all throw at me every single day. :) And I find it hilarious that you all think it's ok, when it happens to the Republicans, just not when it happens to YOUR party. lol
No, I don't believe in it. I was using the argument that you all throw at me every single day
So you were using an argument you don't even believe just to try and win an argument because you can't defend your real position? That's incredibly bad faith.
when it happens to the Republicans, just not when it happens to YOUR party
Yes, literally anything that breaks voters from the Republican party is good, and everything that breaks voters away from Democrats is bad. That's because the Republicans are full of fascists hell bent on destroying American democracy, and the Democrats are the only credible thing standing against them.
So you were using an argument you don’t even believe just to try and win an argument because you can’t defend your real position?
No, I was pointing out the hypocrisy that's being shown in people who use that argument. It's not really that deep, friend.
Yes, literally anything that breaks voters from the Republican party is good, and everything that breaks voters away from Democrats is bad.
In YOUR view. I respect and support your right to an opinion, but not every one has the same opinion as you. Including about half of the country.
s half of the country "fascists" now? lol
Oh, you’re voting for trump too lol
No I'm not. I'm actually voting for Jill Stein. But thanks for assuming an entirely wrong thing just because you're mad!
No, like, you are, implicitly.
No, like, I'm not. Literally or implicitly.
If I wanted to vote for Trump, I'd vote for my Trump. Which by the way, I have every single right to do, as an American citizen.
But I'm not voting for him. I'm voting for Jill Stein. I respect your right to vote for whoever you want to, please respect mine.
I do respect it, and the implicit value action it causes. Enjoy your vote, both on paper, and in consequence.
I recommend reading about game theory in outcome constrained systems.

Oh, I will, thank you! I respect and support your right to vote for who you want to as well.
And that photo has been around a long time, and doesn't bother me at all. It does nothing to change my mind.
Plus, it's already been covered and addressed in a newsweek article:

I'm still happy and proud to vote for her. :).
And for the record, I don't hate Russia as much as people in this community do. I know that fact may wind some people up, but it's the truth. We are still a country based on freedoms of opinion, and there is no law that says I HAVE to hate Russia or it's people.
