In good faith (hehexd), I don't understand what's happening in this chain of tweets. Is BJG saying November isn't depressing because of the third party candidate? Why would Ralph Nader be better than Jill Stein? Who is Mehdi Hasan?
Mehdi hasan is a lib, who can't count past two parties. Brianna is implying that there is a secret third option on the ballot, natalie saying thats ralph nader 2.0
I don't live in the US but just read her Wikipedia page - am I missing something Jill Stein seems way better than Bernie. Surprised I don't hear HBs talk about her more seems like the best kind of candidate Burgerland could possibly produce.
She has some typical green bad vibes around vaccines and nuclear, i think, and electoral politics is a void, outside of polling amount of non-genocidal electorate of the usa, its relatively useless. Plus we have pumpkin spice latte
She's right about nuclear.
If you disagree you're a fucking lib.
This is my hot take, I won't back down. The socialists who endorse nuclear in America are redditors and turbolibs.
A big problem with Stein is that she only appears every four years to be the candidate and then goes back to obscurity until the next election. It seems that she has no interest in actually building a legitimate Green Party that could compete with or even form a coalition with the Dβs and the Rβs.
At least Bernie is out there doing some kind of consensus building on things like healthcare or GND and backing other D-S candidates for lower office.
The Green Party will never take the oval office without the support of Green mayors, governors, or people in congress.
It just seems like kayfabe to suppress any challenge to dems from the left.
Obligatory mention that Joe Biden absolutely hates and has been attempting to murder every single old poor working class person and anyone with dementia for years
