    What’s with the focus on Jill Stein? Third parties aren’t relevant and the number of people who vote for them is far overshadowed by the number of people who don’t vote at all. There are better uses of time than this lame two minutes hate session.

      Russian shills + USA republicans began pushing propaganda for her in a big way after they couldn’t find a decent angle to effectively attack Harris like they did with Biden. Leave that propaganda unchecked and she will divert more than a few votes because propaganda works, so fortunately there is a lot of pushback in the other way.

    As a plant watch, or whatever this is called, I can assure you that this chart will not help you recognised local flora.

    Can’t speak for many of the rest, but jade plants are from southern Africa. I demand geophylogenetically accurate memes.

    You guys do realize that the whole world laughs at your inability to conceive proper left politics, right?

      Image thinking Russia is left-wing.

      Imagine thinking that leftism is a coherent ideology, instead of an arbitrary list of disparate and often-contradicting positions.

      That’s because we have a Russian plant at the helm of the only, let’s be honest, sort-of-not-really viable third party in this country. We need and overhaul of our voting system to get out of this mess, like with RCV

      A) Jill Stein ≠ left politics B) “proper left politics” involves doing more than just running as a presidential candidate every 4 years funded by the political party in farthest opposition to your political agenda.

          The one guy running for a seat on the Arizona Corporation commission is the only one I saw running in the short of race where the Greens have a chance to affect change. Running for the federal House or Senate isn’t where they should be focusing their efforts until they build a base of support.

          Posting a link to a handful of names on sporadic ballots across the US is a dumb person’s idea of what “serious electoral effort” is.

          Son, I am disappoint.

              If you think a political party (or “serious electoral/political effort”) is just “names on a few ballots,” there is no amount of crayons that someone can use to draw you a picture and get you up to speed.

              Pick a candidate or GoTV organization to volunteer with for a while and come back after that experience.

                Did do that, helped several greens get elected. The green party has more grassroots support than any dem pres candidate in history. You have billionaires, racist soccer moms, aipac, and no real humans on your side.

                  Do you have a source or was this bullshit pulled from your own ass?
