    Very long way to tell us how straight and white and not in immediate danger you are.

      Wrong assumtions on all parts.

      Nice try though, racing to the bottom with victimhood so as to disregard others that do not bow down to your ideals.

        If that’s true, then you’re in the same boat as us, only you’re holding the gun to your own head instead of having it held by someone else, and talking about what a principled stand pulling the trigger is going to be.

          This imaginary gun is being held by the duopoly against the populace every four years, just so that the status quo can continue.

            Fact that you call it imaginary continues to spell out for us your position of privilege.

            You are no ally of the oppressed. You are an appropriator of our language to buy your own feelings of moral superiority.

        Again, just spelling out how white and not in danger you are, just now you’re lying about it because you think just going “nah bro” hides how above it all you’re talking as if you know you’ll be fine anyways.

          Political tribalism is working really well to keep dividing us.

          You have already made up your mind that everyone who does not follow your ideals must have much more privilege than yourself.

            No, you just behave in a way that gives yours away because you’re the exact kind of privileged twit who unironically named themself “LeftOfJillStein” like that signals anything other than that you’re a purity tester who can afford to let everyone else die while they wait for their messiah before taking any action towards even harm mitigation.

              Again, you made up your mind to have a competition of racing to the bottom, so you can continue to dismiss and ignore others.

              I am for fighting for a better society for the future, and that starts by growing grassroots movements and continuing to help our local communities.

              I see the Green Party as a stepping stone that will help us much more in the long term, tacking our systematic problems.

                Exactly what grass roots steps are the greens taking aside from appearing out of thin air every four years to spoil elections to the Republicans?

                I didn’t just make up my mind, you chose to behave in a way that made you obvious.

                The green party’s goal is a trump win.

                Sawant’s speech, introducing Jill Stein. Emphasis mine:

                We are not in a position to win the White House, but we do have a real opportunity to win something historic, we could deny Kamala Harris the state of Michigan. And the polls show that most likely Harris cannot win the election without Michigan.

                That’s who you want to vote for?

                The person trying to give Trump a win?

                Just be honest with yourself and vote for Trump then. Or, you know, place a vote for Harris and not have republican fascism win.

                  I hate Jill Stein, but in that person’s defense, Kamala could easily undo that by stop supporting the genocide and being more affirmative with being against it. That’s the only reason Michigan is up in the air.

                    The person who said that is part of Stein’s campaign, their goal is for Harris to lose and give Trump a win.

                    As much as I hate what Israel is doing, that’s completely unrelated to what the Jill Stein and the Green Party are trying to do.

        I’m going to bet they’re not wrong. You clearly have nothing to lose by throwing away your vote. Meanwhile, others need to vote for their lives and the lives of our loved ones while YOU….

        You get to sit and pretend that none of it matters unless you get your way.

        That’s entitlement. And entitlement usually only come from a single source.
