This is actually fucked

No, go ahead and explain it to me!
Yeah it's a strategy that would work in any heavy red or blue state, because there's an absolute zero percent chance the dems lose my state.
In my situation, I'm in a solid blue state so I'm voting for a third party to push the country to the left.
Greta remains awesome
If you can't see that we have real problems in this country that neither party is solving, you need to get a fucking grip.
I'm done with you, you're the one who decided to engage on a days old thread.
Your candidate is touting the support of the man who engineered the invasion of Iraq under false pretenses, and Republicans in general rolled back abortion (which is going to cost the lives of many women) and are against climate action (which is going to completely fuck over future generations, if not the current ones).
Please explain to me how throwing them a bone is going to make things any better. They're extremist fuckers and Democrats should have a bold progressive plan instead of throwing them a bone.
But go ahead, continue to vote shame instead of taking a long look in the mirror.
Seriously, fuck Dick Cheney.
"I also want to thank your father, Vice President Dick Cheney, for his support and what he has done to serve our country. "

"I think it would be to the benefit of the American public to have a member of my Cabinet who was a Republican.”
Hey I just want to say I appreciate you treating me with respect which is more than I can say for a bunch of other commenters here.
I think the president has a decent amount of power, even with a hostile congress. They can declare a climate emergency, and get funding for renewable energy that way; they can enforce an arms embargo or other sanctions (on say, Israel), they can use the bully pulpit to point out the hypocrisy of congress's inaction.
But the most important thing to come out of it would be that the Democratic party would be forced to listen to people on the left, and not just court right wingers all the time.
Even if I accept that any state is really as solid blue as people may think, we have the opportunity as a nation to cast an overwhelming vote against fascism.
I'm voting for the Green party, not a fascist.
That would be sending a message that the entire free world could be proud of.
The entirety of the United Nations except the US and Israel has condemned the massacre in Gaza as a genocide. You think everyone would be proud of voting for someone who intends to continue to ship weapons to Israel?
You’d rather cast your vote for a Putin asset.
No proof and regardless this is bigger than Jill Stein, this is about building power to the left of the Democratic party. Claudia De la Cruz would definitely be my preferred candidate over Stein, but it is what it is.

I'm sorry you've had to deal with that and know what you mean - it's frustrating!
