She will participate in a panel discussion on social and policy topics at Hannaford Hall on Oct. 7, the 1-year anniversary of the start of the Israel-Hamas war.
I’m no longer voting for Stein—I’ve shifted my support to Rachele Fruit of the Socialist Workers Party, who aligns more closely with my socialist convictions. As I have said multiple times. https://lemmy.world/c/swp
But I still applaud Stein’s fight to break the stranglehold the Democrats and Republicans have on this country. It’s amusing how much people panic when someone dares to challenge the status quo.
LOL - You realize Fruit is only on the ballot in 6 states, right?
Louisiana (8)
Minnesota (10)
New Jersey (14)
Tennessee (11)
Vermont (3, as Independent)
Washington (12)
She’s apparently a write in candidate in 7 more:
Alabama (9)
Iowa (6)
New Hampshire (4)
Oregon (8)
Pennsylvania (19)
Rhode Island (4)
Wyoming (3)
But wait, I thought you were in California? So you really can’t vote for her anyway… Well, I mean I guess you CAN but it’s the same as writing in “Mickey Mouse” at that point.
I live in a different state now, so now I get to vote for her! Which is also why I started a community, x.com, and Mastadon accounts for the party. Now I can be much more involved. And it’s awesome! :)
If they continue their average of 79.2 submissions to Lemmy a day their submissions will surpass the 6,791 votes that Alyson Kennedy got for running as 2020 presidential candidate for the Socialist Workers Party (United States) on November 2, 2024!
The idea that only one candidate can beat Trump assumes the current two-party system is unchangeable and doesn’t give people any room to voice dissent.
Instead of falling into the trap of lesser-evil voting, I think that supporting third-party candidates can pressure the major parties to adopt more progressive platforms or even pave the way for alternative political voices to gain real traction over time.
Dismissing third-party votes as wasted just reinforces the limited choices we’re stuck with.
I refuse to support the Duopoly, and honestly, the hostility and bullying I’ve received on Lemmy only strengthens my resolve NOT to vote Democrat.
Meh, I’m not voting for her.
This you?

Well, hey, props from moving from a dead end candidate to an even deader end candidate I guess.
When 1% of the vote is just too mainstream! LOL.

I just posted more stuff. So please update your stats. Thank you!
Yeah, you post more stuff like every eighteen minutes.
Why do you save some time and let me know when you don’t post some propaganda?
I chose the candidate who aligns most closely with my values.
Despite the fact that voting for them makes it easier for the person LEAST aligned with your values.
One person can beat Trump, they aren’t a fringe candidate.
Fortunately, none of the states where she’s on the ballot are going to be even close.
Louisiana (8) - Trump (2020 - 58/39 Trump)
Minnesota (10) - Harris (52/45 Biden)
New Jersey (14) - Harris (57/41 Biden)
Tennessee (11) - Trump (60/37 Trump)
Vermont (3, as Independent) - Harris (66/30 Biden)
Washington (12) - Harris (57/38 Biden)

Cool. New orders from the motherland?
I don’t understand what you mean by “orders” and “motherland” in this context. Please clarify what you mean.
Maybe you could clarify what you think they mean.
I don’t think they’re talking to you.
Still worth saying to save people some time and accusations. :)
