“The race for the White House is too close for comfort,” write parties from around Europe, calling on Stein to throw her support behind Democrat Kamala Harris.

    This is nonsense.

    FPTP voting means there are 2 viable options only. If you don’t vote for the “lesser evil,” you are voting for the “greater evil.”

    Choosing to not make a choice is still a choice. Voting for “not Harris” is the exact same thing as voting for “yes Trump” in our system.

    You’re voting for the greater evil by voting for Jill Stein, which is exactly what her and her partners Putin and Trump want.

        Don’t think of it as evil then.

        Either the Democratic or Republican candidate is going to get elected, full stop. You can choose to help or hurt the person who is closest to your views.

        If you choose to help Trump, you are assisting:

        Internment camps:

        Political prisoners:

        Invading Mexico:

        Accelerating the genocide in Gaza:

        Abandoning our allies:

        And turning Ukraine over to Putin:

          Either the Democratic or Republican candidate is going to get elected, full stop.

          That’s your brainwashed belief, a third party could get 100% votes

          As for your points:

          USA has a long and shady list of political prisoners, check: “PACE hearing on Julian Assange’s detention and conviction and their chilling effects on human rights”

          The genocide in gaza is already at full speed, it need to be stop not to be accelerated or kept the speed it is.

          NATO is a terrorist organization led by USA. No red or blue party will ever disband it if not to create a bigger and more malicious organization https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Gladio

          USA has been competing with Russia over world domination for a century, the current war and crisis in ukraine is fueled by the two empires who respectively took side one against the other and that both profit and gain power through war. USA military facilities around the globe (thousands in europe alone) didn’t stop working for a second when trump was elected and neither will regardless of who win this round.

            No third party has won a single electoral college vote in my lifetime. More EC votes have been awarded by mistake than have been won by a 3rd party.

            a third party could get 100% votes

            Lololololol

            And tomorrow Elon musk, mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff bezos will all three decide they don’t deserve their money and give it all away.

            Actually that’d be far more likely than a third party candidate getting even 30% of the vote.

            Btw great third party candidates, especially the obvious Russian asset who admits she’s just looking to take votes from Harris.

            But everyone is a super-moron so I’m sure everyone will believe you

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
