Jill Stein: The Grifter Who May Hand Trump the White House Again

guys it's not that hard, all we have to do is to not vote for still jein.

jesus christ this thread is a fucking nightmare bro

i feel like i've done three pounds of ketamine just scrolling through these comments.

I don't understand why it is taken for granted that if Stein wasn't a candidate the people who vote for her would be voting for the Democrats instead. Just as likely they would not vote at all or vote for some other protest candidate.

Dems pick a genocidal cop as their candidate then blame everybody else.

It was nice to see the World News community finally realize that the DNC has been doing nothing but shooting themselves in the foot for a year.

Maybe this community will finally catch on and connect the dots between a random ass 3rd party getting blamed for stealing votes away from the Democrats, and Democrats not actually meeting the core demands of their constituency.

Or maybe not....

Its the genocide thats the problem-- Steins numbres are small.. And Jill Stein owes the dems nothing, she can run if she wants. Thats what democracy is about. So the new republic can suck it.

I'm not sure who she's gonna actually end up hurting this time. I gotta imagine anyone who falls for the Jill Stein shtick is likely to fall for Trump's too.

Jill Stein is polling at litterally less than measurable numbers.

"Undecided" represents at least twice the voters Stein appears to be garnering.

Any third party that's telling you to vote for them under FPTP, but isn't heavily promoting RCV to fix the system, isn't trying to win. They're trying to spoil the FPTP election.

RCV is already law in a surprisingly large number of places. It may change the majority in the house in this upcoming election, because the difference in vote-counting within the two states that use it for US congressional elections might be enough to change the razor-thin outcome.

RCV is on the ballot, in one form or another, in 7 states and DC this year. Go vote. You might be able to fix the system, and move toward the future that all the people in this thread who are being vocal about Jill Stein say that they want. Remember back when marijuana was illegal? That changed. This can change too, and it would be glorious, for a lot of important goals that a lot of people claiming to support Jill Stein claim they're supportive of. It would be practical and realistic. It would work.

Anyone in this thread who is saying Jill Stein is extremely important, but haven't been saying anything about ranked choice voting or changing the voting system to make third parties realistic: Why? What's your goal, why did you make that decision about your priorities?

The answer is obvious, of course. But it's fun to ask.

@anticolonialist@lemmy.world, why?

I'll add more @s as more people pipe up. They always do.

Register and vote, for RCV as well as for Harris. We have 25 more days.

I can’t post more than one image because Lemmy/Memmy makes the images fall apart into a 2 mile long scroll.

Pennsylvania 2016

"Once noble party" - ffs.

Jill Stein is a bad actor in this election, she understands how the electoral college works and she understands she's weakening the democratic party position. But let's not blame shift - the Democrats could be much better on climate change then they are today and if they were better Stein's BS wouldn't have such an easy time attracting voters. I dislike the title posing it as "Stein may hand Trump the whitehouse again."

Wisconsin 2016.

If Trump wins it's not Jill Stein's fault you psycho.

Just not helping

Jesus fucking Christ. You win by getting more people to vote for you! If Harris loses, it will be her own fault.

OK so we are picking the new scape goat this election cycle?

Democracy, where you have freedom of speech except if you speak about Israel, or your own country war crimes, or your own country foreign policy, or trying to run for office if you are not Democrat or Republicans.

If Kamala loses of course it will be everyone else’s fault. Fucking race/class traitor neolib cop.

Jill Stein isn't going to hand Trump anything. Only people who vote for Trump can do that.

All the weird Jill Stein hate on here is what made me decide to vote for her lol. Just sent in my ballot last week. Don't worry I'm not in a swing state. 🤣

I'm sorry but, Is that weird neck thing shes wearing...chain link fence patterned

That’s a weird way to say “Harris ticket fails to motivate voters to their side”

To clarify, Stein is a literal compromised grifter.

So is most of the RNC. I remember that 4th of July emergency flight to Moscow to hand deliver a letter to Putin.

It’s not hard to beat these people. Unless you’re liberal I guess.

Hillary handed trump the WH last time
