“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.

        “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 candiadate 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.

              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.
