“Jill Stein is a useful idiot for Russia. After parroting Kremlin talking points and being propped up by bad actors in 2016 she’s at it again,” DNC spokesman Matt Corridoni said in a statement to The Bulwark. “Jill Stein won’t become president, but her spoiler candidacy—that both the GOP and Putin have previously shown interest in—can help decide who wins. A vote for Stein is a vote for Trump.”

    LOL ok, you’re cool with throwing your vote away

    that doesn’t mean anyone else is obliged to waste time “rationalizing” NOT throwing their vote away to you

    do what you want. just know that your third party vote did NOTHING for palestine. and NOTHING for anyone else either.

      Telling someone they are throwing away their vote because they won’t support your team is right wing authoritarian voter suppression.

        Nice straw man. You’re throwing your vote away because you are voting for a candidate that has zero chance of winning, while one of the two actual options is a literal fascist who will give Netanyahu carte blanche in Palestine and the other realizes she has to walk a narrow tightrope before November if she wants to get elected and have any influence over Israel whatsoever.

        But I know you know this already.

        If the Green Party was a serious political party, then why do they never care about down ballot elections? Why don’t they ever care about local elections? Why do they disappear, only to crawl out from their hole every four years to sow division among American voters?

        “Teams” don’t enter into it.

        One candidate poses an existential threat to our country and way of life.

        One other candidate can defeat them.

        Taking a vote away from the 2nd candidate has the same net effect as voting for the first one.

        You either help beat Trump or you help elect him. A 3rd party will not win, so voting 3rd party doesn’t help beat Trump.

      I wish it meant we did nothing for palestine. Instead of it meaning bombs and funding continues to pour into the arms of the country thats killing them.

                Did you know you’re allowed to shut the fuck up?

                You don’t have to make your vote seem like it’s any more important than any other.

                You don’t have to make your choice on who to vote for you entire personality.

                It’s a sign of your narcissistic personality disorder.

                It’s cute and funny to watch you squirm from where I’m sitting.

                Keep up the good work, little narcissist!

              Genocide is an absolute non starter. If one party supports it and one supports it harder, you need to burn down the whole political field and start over.
