I live in a blue state and will be voting Green to try to build momentum for third parties and STAR voting. I do hope Trump is defeated and thrown in jail, and I’d reconsider my vote if I lived in a purple state.
It’s so weird you immediately list the differences between Stein and Harris, but not Trump. Totally unprompted. Considering that a third party is going against the other two, that’s odd. Almost like you know exactly what you’re doing, but won’t admit it.
Why would I list the differences between Stein and Trump when I literally just said that I hope Trump loses (and thrown in jail). At no point was I ever considering voting for him. The whole point is that third parties aren’t part of the corporate duopoly.
I’m explaining why I’m voting my conscience in a rigged FPTP system where my vote otherwise amounts to nothing (because again I’m in a blue state), but clearly nothing I say is going to stop you from making insinuations.
Edited: the last sentence of my first paragraph for clarity
Hey I just want to say I appreciate you treating me with respect which is more than I can say for a bunch of other commenters here.
I think the president has a decent amount of power, even with a hostile congress. They can declare a climate emergency, and get funding for renewable energy that way; they can enforce an arms embargo or other sanctions (on say, Israel), they can use the bully pulpit to point out the hypocrisy of congress’s inaction.
But the most important thing to come out of it would be that the Democratic party would be forced to listen to people on the left, and not just court right wingers all the time.
She did fine, if anything it was eye opening to me how many shitlibs are on r/politics
Taking Jill Stein seriously? You ok?
No, they aren’t, and they won’t be getting better, either.
Notable differences between Stein and Harris:

Okay, but who is going to vote for those things if the Greens don’t win any House or Senate seats, even if they win the presidency?

You’re full of shit
Ah, name-calling instead of addressing my argument; classic!
