JOR BIDEN GENERCIDEs

Belittling opposition to genocide. Great look

It’s not belittling genocide opposition. It’s belittling those who hold democracy ransom over a single issue that they don’t understand, and weren’t even aware was happening for the last several decades.
Incrediblely hypocritical when it’s you holding democracy ransom telling them who to vote for. I am expressing democracy by voting for Jill Stein.
You’re knowingly throwing away a vote. There’s not much left that is more anti-democracy. But for now- you can enjoy that right.
Projection, you’re literally voting for someone you don’t agree with, so you have a fundamental misunderstanding of democracy.

Who said i disagree with him? I dislike a very few things he’s doing, and disagree with how they’re handled. That’s it.

I’m an adult though. So I understand nuance. And I also know that compromise is how things get accomplished.

Go ahead and look through a history book and see how many times protest votes and not booting succeeded in actionable results.

I’ll wait here.

You claim to be against genocide several times on your account.

And I also know that compromise is how things get accomplished.

Your strategy has managed to move this country to the extreme right wing. Time to admit it doesn’t work and try something else.

Oh the irony, you’re the one with reading to do. I’m building a movement to improve the country and it starts with support. You would be proudly shouting down civil rights protestors back in the day.

So…. You didn’t check to see how many times doing nothing has brought change.

I’m still waiting.

You’re the one doing nothing, yes I went though history and checked, turns out not doing anything like you changes nothing. Your plan: vote dem and do nothing for 4 years. My plan: build a movement by supporting the Green party so we have an opposition forcing the Dems to give concessions.

Hilarious.

The only way that could possibly effective is if it was paired with comprehensive voting reform in every state (well, every state that matters).

A third party cannot win with the current first-past-the-post system. It’s so obvious that I can’t imagine why it would need to be explained. Have a good leftist candidate, it’ll take votes from the liberal. Popular conservative alt candidate, will take votes from the Republican. With our current roughly 50/50 balance, either one could result in the candidate with less support for their ideology winning. That’s how you end up with something like (theoretically) 25% Stein, 35% Biden, 40% Trump, and Trump wins because he had the plurality. Great.

Yes, we’re working on that unlike the Dems.

Yeah they can, if you vote for them.

RFK not exist?

If EVERYONE who would otherwise vote D voted for them, yes. That’s not going to happen, hence the scenario I gave which you quoted. Split the non-conservative vote between two parties, and the conservatives win - how is that going to help?
Conservative vote is being split by libertarians and RFK, so it’s a great opportunity for the Green party. Notice how the spoiler argument is never used against the libertarians?
It is though. There have been 3rd party conservative spoilers too… it’s just that typically, it’s a Republican plot to fuck over Democrats.
I’ve never seen it. It’s only Dems making the argument while ignoring the Libertarian party pulls far more Republican voters than the Green party pulls Democratic voters.
