I mean, GREEN does stand for Getting Republicans Elected Every November.
Fuck off Jill
Well, for anyone that cares, she’s been a promoter of ranked choice voting.
Cool she was also out here being a fucking vaccine skeptic while people died
We need a Green Party in the US but this ain’t it.
Not this shit again. Our country literally might not survive another Donald Trump presidency, which is what you’re helping happen by supporting a 3rd-party candidate when we have a 2-party system.
- Keep Trump and his goons from taking power
- Vote local. This is where things like ranked-choice voting and reproductive rights are created and have impact
- When it’s not “first past the post”, vote for whoever you want, guilt-free! At this point, there’s no such thing as a spoiler candidate…
It’s called priorities.
I don’t believe there is any way Biden will be re-elected. If for no other reason when he finally dies of old age who would want kamala running the show.
This is as bad a take as people saying there’s no way he can lose re-election. Pro or against, betting POTUS (who has the best healthcare in the world) will die in the next 4 years is the longest of bets. Also, no one votes based on who the successor might be. Lastly, he’s healthier than Trump for fuck’s sake…
Dude is like 80. Math doesn’t lie and the best doctors in the world can’t stop time. Statistically it’s time to dig a hole. He won’t be re-elected, but if he were there’s no way he’s got another 4 years left kicking dirt.

Ok but life expectancy literally directly correlates with the quality of your healthcare
Understood. He’s already 8 years past the average life expectancy of a American man. The writing is on the wall.
I liked her better when I didn’t know she was Putin’s lapdog.
What happened with her? She seemed okay when she was running a few elections ago and had some support, but then went a bit off and I stopped following her.
Apparently she received some funding that was traced back to Russia and is effectively acting as a spoiler candidate.

All you liberals have is a picture of her at a table with Putin as if Democrats you vote for haven’t sat at a table with Putin before

OMG she’s a Putin puppet you see that??

It’s a well-established fact that a part of her social media campaign was funded by the Russians.
To be clear: I’m not saying she necessarily did all this in cahoots with Putin. Russia funded divisive ads that boosted Sanders too. Regardless, Sanders quit the race whilst Stein did not. That means she acted as a spoiler candidate, where a vote for her means it’s more likely that a republican candidate wins instead, instead of the democrat candidate that a green voter is likely more aligned with. It’s an unfortunate effect of the two-party system. Nonetheless, those effects are well-known and Stein had a snowball’s chance in hell of getting elected. She knew this, but decided to remain on the ballot anyway. Her candidacy therefore did help Trump win the election.
Did you even read the article? Facebook presented no proof of this and you just take it as fact.
she received some funding that was traced back to Russia
that’s not true.
Excellent rebuttal backed with facts.
Remember when Jill Stein helped elect Donald Trump?
If you like the ideas of the Green Party, vote for them at the local level. The fact that they don’t seem to want to govern at the local level is enough for me to ignore them as an option.
They can’t run local level candidates without funding. All you do is complain instead of help.
I’m a voter, my friend. I can complain about a party all damn day. If you think that a political party is going get a dime from me before they can even convince me to vote for them, you have strange spending habits.

They do focus on local elections, you just don’t hear about it because for the most part no one cares about local politics.
We need ranked choice voting.
So vote for the candidate that supports ranked choice voting.
The federal government doesn’t control elections. You handle that at the state (or county/parish/whatever) level. At least here in Oregon, people can bring measures to the ballot by petition rather than waiting for the legislature to do anything about it, and given two party monopoly, they aren’t going to do anything about it for you.
Support and donate to a party that does support ranked choice voting and they’ll be able to run state level candidates
