Kamala was so excited over the support of the neocons like the Cheney’s and big business she forgot to see how it’d impact her poll numbers. Now she’s endorsing hit pieces on progressive third party candidates like Jill Stein. I’m pretty sure she’s already lost this election at this point.

Lol, it’s always Russia with the Democrats. You’re against genocide? Must be Russian. You think Dick Cheney lied to get America into a devastating war in the middle east? Must be Russian! You want PFML & higher minimum wage. Must be a Russian!

I’m fairly certain Cheney’s interest in leveling Iraq and Afghanistan was motivated by his sizable investment in Halliburton, which coincidentally won the bid on the massive rebuilds.

Jill Stein’s party is explicitly fighting to help Trump win. Stein is a pro-Trump spoiler. Voting for her is about the most self-defeating thing anyone who believes in democracy could do, short only of voting for Trump.

She’s against genocide and Democrats are losing to Trump because they haven’t earned the votes. Instead they want to shame and blame everyone but themselves for why people, including a large percentage of the Arab population are voting for Jill Stein in Michigan. Just like they blamed Bernie and Stein in 2016. I encourage everyone to go listen and learn about Jill Stein’s platform yourself without a Democrat standing over your shoulder whispering nonsense into your ear. Both parties of the duopoly have a large cult.

Jill Stein’s platform is, explicitly, not to win but to cause Harris to lose. Harris losing means Trump winning. Trump winning will be even worse for Gaza (and Ukraine, the US, and the rest of the world).

If your red line is Gaza, but your refusal to cross that line will make things in Gaza worse, it is straightforwardly the case that your tactics are wrong. ‘I cannot condone X, so I’m going to do something that can only make X even worse’ is not a position you can hold.

Two. Party. System.

Any response that’s not a detailed description of how to reform our undemocratic “first past the post” system before promoting a 3rd-party candidate is literally trying to get Trump re-elected. And they know it…

What are you talking about? How has she been “so excited?”

I’ve seen a very tepid reaction from Harris. Stop trying to make her out to be like some Debbie Wasserman Schultz neocon. There’s no comparison.

Everytime she’s asked about the Cheney’s she glees over their support and praises them. I don’t know what planet you live on.

If you’re not going to vote for Harris, I have some advice for you:

This doesn’t make sense. Whether they sit out or vote 3rd party doesn’t matter. The strategic reason for GOP financiers supporting a 3rd party candidate is to draw votes away from their opponent. A sit-out or a vote for 3rd party achieves the same thing.

Encouraging people to sit out is just encouraging people to disengage from the entire process, which will enforce a trend that helps GOP candidates.

So your job is now to tell people in a democracy that the shouldn’t vote for their preferred candidate. Are you sure you don’t just want fascism?

I see an awful lot of angry putting people on the defense, but let’s turn this around. What result that’s brought about by your vote for Stein creates the world that you want to see? In your world, what does the world look like on the morning of November 6th, and what have you accomplished?

If you’re going to tell people to vote for Donald, I’d rather you and anyone you convince to sit this one out. Since voting for your preferred candidate undermines any chance we have to make progress in the U.S.
