In a double boost for Donald Trump, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Friday afternoon threw his backing behind the former president in the 2024 presidential election while Jill Stein unequivocally stated she will not drop out of the race.
Russian operatives unite!
Or, just people that don’t wanna vote for Harris or Trump, so they choose a party they believe in. Ya know, some people do that without being Russian operatives. :)
But that vote goes right in the trash. Third parties can’t win in our system for practical purposes so the only effect is to take away votes from the side most like your own and risk empowering the party least like yours. Stein is basically supporting Trump.
A vote isn’t “trash” just because it doesn’t align with the two-party system; it’s a statement of principle and a push for broader representation.
Third parties may face challenges, but dismissing them only reinforces a broken system that limits real choice. Voting for the candidate who best represents my values is about advocating for change, not settling for the lesser of two evils.
The idea that Stein is supporting Trump is unfounded—she represents an alternative vision, not an endorsement of another party. Empowering third parties is a step toward a more diverse and representative democracy.
I’m not voting for Harris. Accept it.
Yes. I do not consider myself as a Russian operative.
I am an American for the working class.
