        Believe me, I wish we lived in some solarpunk place that cared. But as a sort of response to Linker, we won’t get it by Varuca Salting it into existence. Jill Stein is not the champion to lead us there. No one is. It will take all of us to overthrow the crushing heel of those who own these planet devouring industries.

      Yes do not vote Democrat if the Genocide is not stopped before the election. Stein is a great alternative but anything except Dems and Republicans is fine.

        That would need an insane grass roots effort I’m just not seeing here. We should focus on implementing ranked choice or any other voting system than FPTP that makes more candidates viable.

          Even if you don’t care about brown people getting Genocided, Democrats are not implementing FPTP. GPTP is just another strawman for “vote blue this time we’ll figure it out next time” and then the Democrats don’t provide the wanted changes.

          The reason Democrats keep shifting right is because they only need to appeal to Republicans. Since they feel it’s literally impossible to lose a left vote, because they’re doing an actual Genocide right now.

          This 30 second video explains it quite well.

            Yeah I get it. But right now thats gonna net us Trump. I care about brown people, as you say, but I also care about how shit is here at home. So I’m not gonna vote third party until our FPTP system is changed. Especially during an election where Trump is on the board again. Thats gonna net us Trump again no matter how self righteous we wanna be.

              No it will net us a stop to the Genocide if there’s enough voting pressure in polling. Biden stepping down because he tanked in the polls is ultimate proof of it. Demanding change for your vote is possible without FPTP.

              Instead of working against third party advocates it’s more effective to work with them and create pressure to stop the Genocide so people can vote Democrat again. And also the Genocide stops nice bonus.

              Thats gonna net us Trump again no matter how self righteous we wanna be.

              Trump will be the same as the Democrats. Kamala and Biden have already pledged to support a war with Iran and the entire region. Israel is just now starting Genocide #2 in the West Bank under Biden.

              If the Democrats want to be not-Trump they actually have to be not-Trump instead of just saying they’re not-Trump.

              And if Democrats believe supporting a Genocide is more important than beating Trump, you have to wonder if they’re as afraid of Trump as they pretend they are.

                  If you didn’t know who was president right now and you saw what was happening in Gaza, who would you think won the 2020 election?

                    I get it, but the tariffs Team Trump wants to induce will leave my children and I with no roof over our heads. Like, I dont know if you get that, but I will be largely effected at home by who is ruling. I dont have the luxury of constantly micromanaging overseas when I’m struggling right here at home. It matters. And it doesnt matter who is in charge, I was there when Obama dropped all those bombs. The US is imperialist, this is what the evil shits do.
