    Breaking news: people with an actual commitment to environmentalism recognize Jill Stein for the obvious Russian shill and extreme threat to environmentalism she is. More at 11.

    “Stein was reached for comment where she added: what the fuck do you think I’m running for, to actually be president? Ha! You’re telling me to drop out so I can’t do the thing I’m here to do which is help Trump win. You realize how dumb that is right?”

      At press time, Stein remarked: “No, no seriously guys, we’re actually a serious party that has any business running for the highest office in the nation please believe me.”

        I would believe them if their party EVER got anyone elected, even to state congress, in even a third of the states.

          I said it once, I’ll say it again-

          Until ranked choice vote is established and the electoral college is abolished, there are no serious third parties.

          The most serious third party imo is the Forward Party, only because they have one platform which is RCV, and they are quietly working in local elections only. They aren’t running any candidates in federal elections, although they had a big win in helping Alaska switch to RCV for their congressional race, which nudged out Sarah Palin.

          With the forward party in conjunction with fairvote.org , they are laying the groundwork to create possibly the most revolutionary change to American politics ever.

          But in order to do that, we need to have elections. Vote Harris.

          But they brag about five (5) whole Green Party members getting elected to state legislatures since 1985. You know, that’s like one (1) whole member every eight (8) years, which is a lot considering there are only thousands of state legislature positions across the US (some of which have such little competition fucking Buck Cluck could probably get elected to a few dozen of them). So I think your point is moot tbh.

    Good. I was a part of the Green Party, I left when I learned they were planning of running a candidate this year, when internally, we were floating around the idea of NOT running a candidate. I am now a member of the Working Families Party.

    I don’t think she really has a choice this close to the election. RFK has tried suing to get off the ballot in a few states and failed.

    The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout ‘SAVE US!’…and I’ll look down and whisper 'No.

    -Jill Stein, probably

    What the fuck do I care what europoors think? I don’t like Jill Stein but they should mind there own business! In America we understand that a country’s domestic politics are only the citizens’ business, that’s why we don’t involve ourselves in any foreign country’s domestic matters

      Jfc…

      1. It’s their, not there.
      2. Climate change does not care about your borders. So of course actual proper Green parties care about green foreign politics.
      3. You’re literally in everyone’s face when it comes to other countries.

      That’s rich. I’m American, too, but the whole isolationist stance is bs. They are our allies, and whatever happens here effects them as well. You fell for the propaganda, champ.

      Also, it’s funny that you don’t choose not to see how much our own country involves itself in the affairs of other countries. Every American knows this.
