JaymesRSIt’s important to take breaks and observe local flora occasionally.
Ð Greıt Þu̇mpkinUS Greens are damned traitors to democracy itself.
You can tell they aren’t serious by the lack of local political effort they put in.

blazeraOur very own Russian defender made it to this post! What’s up lol
Posting a link to a handful of names on sporadic ballots across the US is a dumb person’s idea of what “serious electoral effort” is.
Son, I am disappoint.
lennybirdI remember that green party candidate in AZ a few years back had more funding from Republicans lmao.
They usually do.
As in from Republican voters? Who cares? If politicians, then there might be some weird political games with that candidate.
But besides, that’s really your concern? Democrats get funding from billionaire imperialists and arms-dealing weapons-manufacturer death-mechants. Which have successfully lobbied for the expansion of militarism for decades which has proven incredibly profitable and is also destroying the planet faster than almost anything
Both duopoly parties get funding from the worst racketeers, liars, and murderers of the world; the richest most monstrous exploiters that exist. I’m not voting Green, I’m voting for Claudia De La Cruz for PSL — but taking swings against the greens who are one of the few taking anti-war stances vs these duopoly-of-imperialists who are unified in genocide and always have been unified in genocide, and are continuing to be unified in all of the worst policies including now Biden doing Trump’s border shutdown after deregulating and privatizing some of the concentration camps (a very Republican thing to do); the people who need criticism are not the Greens or other 3rd parties; the people who are ruining the world and the country are not the Greens and other 3rd parties. Muslims have been coming out in support of the 3rd parties because the Greens and PSL and West’s party are the only ones not being actively evil. Democrats have no reason to not be actively evil and keep flying to the right if everyone’s going to vote for them no matter what because they’re "(barely) not the republicans).
What do you think a political party is?
If you think a political party (or “serious electoral/political effort”) is just “names on a few ballots,” there is no amount of crayons that someone can use to draw you a picture and get you up to speed.
Pick a candidate or GoTV organization to volunteer with for a while and come back after that experience.
Did do that, helped several greens get elected. The green party has more grassroots support than any dem pres candidate in history. You have billionaires, racist soccer moms, aipac, and no real humans on your side.
Leate_WonceslaceThe green party has more grassroots support than any dem pres candidate in history.
Do you have a source or was this bullshit pulled from your own ass?
Source is the experience outside your rich/upper middle class white bubble.
Encephalotrocity
My source is that I made it the F@#& up
Yes they are a much smaller political party, that doesnt mean theyre not putting in serious effort
The one guy running for a seat on the Arizona Corporation commission is the only one I saw running in the short of race where the Greens have a chance to affect change. Running for the federal House or Senate isn’t where they should be focusing their efforts until they build a base of support.
MrMakabarWhy not run for the House? A seat has 750k-800k population and quite a few districts are much further left then US average. If a further left candidate would run its those seats, that would force the Democrats to move left.
ArxCyberwolfThat’d take more effort than bitching on the internet.
As history has shown, it would actually make them court the right even harder.
explodicleWhoah whoah whoah. They shouldn’t run for state-level office until they’re landslide winning every mayoral election and student council.
Man those shareblue checks must be ridiculous this year.
RFK is still paying. If you do it right you can get Koch, Soros, and RFK!
pgpYou guys do realize that the whole world laughs at your inability to conceive proper left politics, right?
A) Jill Stein ≠ left politics
B) “proper left politics” involves doing more than just running as a presidential candidate every 4 years funded by the political party in farthest opposition to your political agenda.
Alleged political agenda, just to make it crystal clear.
Don’t hate the player. Hate the game.
USSMojaveThat’s because we have a Russian plant at the helm of the only, let’s be honest, sort-of-not-really viable third party in this country. We need and overhaul of our voting system to get out of this mess, like with RCV
That’s ok we got all the money. Your country does what we tell it to, I’m betting.
Ohhh he’s proper left politics Jill stein poasting! He’s gonna dissennnnnnnttttttt
Image thinking Russia is left-wing.
Imagine thinking that leftism is a coherent ideology, instead of an arbitrary list of disparate and often-contradicting positions.
Tankies are right wing.
I definitely don’t think tankies are leftists. I think tankies pretend leftism is a coherent thing (particularly one that includes them) because it helps them infiltrate, corrupt, take over, and destroy leftist projects.
The negation of this fiction is an attack against them for that reason.
egretsCan’t speak for many of the rest, but jade plants are from southern Africa. I demand geophylogenetically accurate memes.
Everybody knows that the best political arguments are generated by “AI”, \s
Jade plants were very popular as home plant in the soviet union, everyone had one at home. This could be a reason why AI got confused there
Wish tumbleweed was on there, considering how it was used to undermine American farms.
pseudoAs a plant watcher, or whatever this is called, I can assure you that this chart will not help you recognised local flora.
🇰 🌀 🇱 🇦 🇳 🇦 🇰 🇮 🏆I sat on a stinging nettle a few years ago when I had a mostly outdoor job. Now I am an expert in identifying them.
ThelsimI hate stinging nettles so much… They’re always the first to pop up in spring and ruin an otherwise nice walk in the forest.
Flying SquidImagine the indigenous person hungry enough to figure that out.
That’s an interesting question. I can’t even imagine it was hunger as even kgs of green leaves won’t satiate a family’s hunger. Maybe it was an attempt at checking if the plant could cure when cooked? Maybe it was believed that all stinging and poisonous plants had magical properties? Who knows.
It’s like rhubarb. It’s all poisonous except the stems.
harkWhat’s with the focus on Jill Stein? Third parties aren’t relevant and the number of people who vote for them is far overshadowed by the number of people who don’t vote at all. There are better uses of time than this lame two minutes hate session.
Russian shills + USA republicans began pushing propaganda for her in a big way after they couldn’t find a decent angle to effectively attack Harris like they did with Biden. Leave that propaganda unchecked and she will divert more than a few votes because propaganda works, so fortunately there is a lot of pushback in the other way.
Democrats don’t have a comprehensive worldview that can explain why they are so widely disliked and why so many people are apathetic/actively hostile to them. Russiagate fills the gap in their understanding of the world by imagining that Vladimir Putin is a Great Man of History and that his perfidious scheming is responsible for all of the ills of America’s democratic system.
Since Democrats are so corrupt they refuse to abolish the antidemocratic electoral college and have already lost two elections they had the majority of votes in.
Harris, while popular, is in a dead heat in several swing states with Trump and it’s very likely she’ll lose. Liberals think that having third party candidates takes away votes from Harris even through all evidence points to the contrary.
Since Democrats Republicans are so corrupt they refuse to abolish the antidemocratic electoral college and have already ~~lost~won two elections they had the majorityminority of votes in.
FTFY.
Since Democrats and Republicans are the same party
FTFY
Since Democrats are so corrupt they refuse to abolish the antidemocratic electoral college
The Democrats would love to do away with the EC because it would swing the power wildly in their favor. The problem is that they can’t unilaterally do it because it would require a constitutional amendment that would require Republican controlled states to vote against their own power.
It’s dead in the water which is why it’s never heavily pursued…and you’re blaming this on democrat corruption? What a wildly delusional take.
UnderpantsWeevilWhat’s with the focus on Jill Stein?
She’s a release valve for the Arab-American protest vote. Arab-Americans are concentrated in the Midwest. Kamala desperately needs the Midwest wall to hold in order to win the White House.
“Jill Stein is a Russian Plant” is going to become “Arab Americans stabbed America in the back” in a few months, particularly if Harris loses. We’re just seeing the prelude to the anti-Muslim hysteria boiling up in the Democratic Party.
zarkanianWhat’s with the focus on Jill Stein?
She makes Harris look bad.
Because this is the time of year that Stein starts pushing herself as a candidate after doing nothing for 4 years, and this is an incredibly close presidential race where voting third party is dangerous. Stein herself is also extremely questionable as a candidate so of course people are going to talk about it. There is a vocal minority of Lemmings who are pushing Stein and other third parties very hard, so I can completely understand why others are pushing back with threads like this one.
DNC messaging push (…moveon.org/…/MoveOnThirdWay3rdPartiesMemoJune24.…).
I’m hoping for their sake OP is getting paid for this.
Balsam & jade Russian plants? Where is Russia located in your opinion
I have no issues with bottom middle
Looks ai generated, so not too surprised it’s wrong
SassyRamenOh man! Making the russian flag out of her and using her hair as the white is golden!
Actually it’s white
Yes, which is gold.
Stoneykins [any]No one person, thing, or organization I regularly interact with has tried as hard as lemmy.world to convince me she is some kinda fucked up spoiler effect politics demon.
Maybe dems should actually try to make ranked choice voting happen for real, instead of lip service to the idea, if they want the people who prefer third parties to support them. And maybe dems should attempt to do anything at all to address the concerns of the third party voters, instead of just threatening them with trump some more. Just some ideas that might alleviate the problem more effectively than getting really mad at people on the internet.
“And maybe they should do it RIGHT NOW, and maybe I’ll vote them but it’ll still be for not Dems, and maybe they should also stop genocide, and maybe maybe maybe. …”
Did I capture your full wishlist there? Anything else you’d like now without regard for how long it takes?
