[+] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works -9 points 2 years ago (3 children) And this is exactly what's wrong with the Democrats, and why Biden never should've run. Biden was there to beat Bernie. There is no party in the US to fight for regular people, so they didn't vote. Greens are still here! I think we got 600,000 votes this year. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] finestnothing@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) A vote for Stein this year was a vote for Trump. Vote green in your local and state elections to get support growing, don't vote for them for president when they aren't even on enough ballots to win and the alternative is a literal hitler-worshipper. Edit - Stein was actually on the ballot in 38 states so she technically could've won. I was thinking of Claudia De la Cruz and the PSL party - I have the same sentiment with them this election. These two divided the left and only benefited Trump. Vote green or PSL in your local elections and grow support for the non-democrat left. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Stein was on enough ballots to win.

Exactly like Bernie has. Continue to support your third party in local until they become able to actually get folks elected to even a Senate post. As long as the Green Party can't even manage to get the most hippy district in the nation to get a single House Rep elected you might as well just cast your vote for Bob Ross. permalink fedilink source parent [–] AngryRobot@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago Fuck the Green party. Jill Stein crawls out of its crypt every 4 years to spend russia's money and steal progressive votes away from the Democratic candidate. permalink fedilink source parent
