    You can say spoiler candidate all you want, I’m not sure why you think that will change my mind.

      Your mind won’t be changed, you’re going to keep saying the same stuff, I get that.

      I mention it for others who read this thread. Working Families Party is a great example of a third party that actually is working for change, and collaborates to stop the far right.

      The Green Party, and Jill Stein, is actively working in a way to the advantage of the far right, as well as blatantly working directly with them. Which makes her… dun dun dun… a spoiler candidate.

      So yeah, I’ll keep repeating it.

        I didnt vote for the green party. I voted for kamala in the federal election and chose the working class party for the rest that I could, and democrats where I couldn’t.

        Does that satisfy you?

          Thats wonderful!

          I still want to make sure people know what Jill Stein is, and don’t throw away their vote to her as the republicans she collaborates with want.

            I’d argue that all Democrats should vote for literally any third party if they are in a non-contested state, if one of those exists.

            Other than that though, I still respect the freedom to vote for what you believe in, and do not think Jill Stein is at least knowingly a “Russian asset” if you want to call it that.

              What I consider her is a republican asset, to be clear. Which is why she works so closely with so many far right republicans, and is specifically trying to pull votes in battleground states to give Trump the win. Lets be honest here - even her own people say thats the goal.

              And I don’t think any state is really non-contested at this point. I will continue to support expanding social programs and shutting down the far right at every turn, and now that I know WFP is in my state enough, I’ll be supporting them at every point I can.

              I also won’t turn a blind eye to someone intentionally trying to get the far right in power. Which is what Jill Stein and the Green Party are doing.
