Green Party nominee Jill Stein is expected to use her running mate to tap into the growing anger at Democrats over their support for Israel’s war on Gaza.
“She could have said, ‘I hear you, we’re going to address this, and if you want it to get better, elect me instead of Donald Trump,’” Zahr told NBC. “But instead she suggested we want to help get Trump elected … as if we owe her something and she doesn’t owe us.”
This is the attitude of Dems. Vote for our candidate because if you don’t you’ll be sorry.
To be clear, I’m voting for Harris because the threat of another orange shitbag presidency is too great to ignore, but I’ll do so irritated that I don’t really have a choice.

Yep. And the personal attacks I have gotten from posting this article here, have shown many Lemmy users to have the same attitude.
In fact, Lemmy’s are so mad that I am voting Green, they have being going into my communities and downvoting everything I post, even if not political. They’re even voting down my posts supporting elementary teachers who teach Special Education students. I mean, if Lemmy users wanna spend their day doing downvoting every post I write, it’s fine, but it’s really weird to me and just makes me laugh. BUT it does make me feel kinda important! lol
I totally respect and support your right to vote for Harris. But I just can’t, so that’s why I’m going Green.
Yeah apparently on Lemmy if you criticize Biden or Kamala you want trump to win. There’s no nuance of “hey maybe we should force a better choice than a genocide enabler who will stick to the status quo as it has been for the past 40 years and change nothing, or an orange more evil genocide enabler”
Like I absolutely don’t want trump as a president. I also absolutely don’t want my taxes and money going to kill innocent people. These are not two contradictory viewpoints but people don’t seem to understand that. Hell, even Kamala doesn’t seem to understand that based on her rhetoric.
I’m tired of the white house being concerned or disappointed by Israel. If your child concerned or disappointed you so much and didn’t change his or her behavior, you would put in some consequences. Otherwise you would be a shitty parent. That simple.
Whether or not it’s on Lemmy is irrelevant. If you’re going to pretend not to know the outcome of every election for 50+ years, don’t also pretend that only people on Lemmy are the only ones who do know.

Right? I legit just responded to yet another poster who accused me of that! lolol
Prepare for your downvotes, friend. We can be downvoted to oblivion together!! lol

Great analogy! And yes, I agree.
The MAGA cult of Democrats is becoming just as toxic as the MAGA cult of Republicans. As this thread proves. lol
I hope she gets 5% of the vote. Then this community can stop crying that she doesn’t matter. But hey guys, if she doesn’t matter, then why are you all so mad if I vote for her?! lol
Lemmy is one of the most intense echo chambers out there. It’s very funny that a self-professed anti-hierarchical, decentralized message board site like this falls in line so neatly behind whatever candidates the corporate media tells them to and then browbeats anyone who dares to consider alternatives. Americans’ refusal to vote third party plays a big role in why the two major parties are so completely unresponsive to the public’s interests and desires. They won’t win, of course, thanks to FPTP, but voting for them pressures the two parties to change their platform to win over their voters.
This is precisely why the corporate media is so invested in vilifying third party voters. Every election from now until the end of recorded history will be “the most important election ever” (or “the last election ever,” as they’ve been painting it recently) and anyone who refuses to vote for the lesser-of-two-evils candidate is a willful apostate who’s worse than a Trump voter. And the masses buy into it, and then it’s naked tribalism and hysteria from there.

No one believes you really think Jill “9/11 was an inside job” Stein could get even 5% of the vote. Everyone here knows you’re completely full of shit
I hope she gets 5% of the vote. Then this community can stop crying that she doesn’t matter. But hey guys, if she doesn’t matter, then why are you all so mad if I vote for her?! lol
5% would be a miracle and yet still isn’t nearly enough to justify helping Trump, hell even if it wasn’t someone as bad as trump I doubt it would be
She’s not helping Trump though. She is running for president. She doesn’t like Trump.
I’m voting for her, not “against” anyone. I’m voting for who I want to win. And that person is Jill Stein.
I don’t care about the odds, or the Trump or whoever.
I’m voting for how I like. And the party I like. Which is the Green Party.
It’s a binary choice, unfortunately. Splitting the vote is fun when the stakes aren’t so high, though.
It’s NOT binary choice tho. I’m voting 3rd party. Happily so.
We don’t pluralize with an apostrophe.
Sorry, autocorrect. I’ll stay on top. Thank you!

100 percent agree with you! And you said it way better than I have been saying it!
