Green Party nominee Jill Stein is expected to use her running mate to tap into the growing anger at Democrats over their support for Israel’s war on Gaza.
Then you have nothing to fear, nor do you have anything to be annoyed about, when it comes to the existence of 3rd parties and the voting for 3rd parties.
Reported for breaking civility rule of this community. If you disagree with me, that’s fine. But bragging about making fun of me is not. Be civil or please refrain from posting.
If you actually cared about making third parties viable, you’d think rationally and act locally to get ranked-choice voting or similar initiatives off the ground, and not just screech about national elections where they have no chance. You’re not doing anything of substance and are thus ripe for ridicule.

I do. What makes you think I haven’t been involved in those. Also the Green Party is on the ballet in my state, and I have worked for both goals.

I’m not just screeching. I’m voting.
Are you saying we should ONLY vote for people who are going to win? That’s not very democratic, now is it?

Ridicule me all you want. I, and many of my friends, are voting Green Party this election. Proudly. Brah, I have Jill Stein bumper stickers on my car. I’m proud of it.
Protest vote all you want. The reality is that in our electoral system, you’re doing nothing, with the possible exception of siphoning a vote away from a viable candidate whom you more closely align with.
Proudly display your irrational actions, brah. Everyone is very impressed.

Yes, hence the “I don’t care about this.”
Yet, you do seem to care enough to have a conversation about it, and interact in this community thread about it. So I guess you care a little bit.

You should probably accept that.

It’s not a protest vote. I like her and her policies, so I am voting for her.
Sure I am. I am voting for who I want to win. As is my right.
I don’t like Harris. And I didn’t like Biden. And I don’t like Trump. So I’m not voting for them. You seem really upset by that.
No one here knows me. Don’t you think if I really wanted to “impress” people, I’d vote for Lemmy’s (and Reddit’s) fav candidate?! lol
