Community for those against and for Jill Stein!

Jill Stein is running for president to offer people a choice outside the failed two-party system. Let's put a pro-worker, anti-war, climate emergency agenda front and center in this election and on the ballot in November 2024.

I would prefer proportional voting, and that would work for Congress. It isn't really a workable thing when electing an individual, tho I would not mind seeing some candidates split down the middle so only half goes into the office.

Yes I can understand that, we don't have elections of individuals in our democracy, the government is chosen by the parlament, among the usually about 12 parties that represent the people.
If the government performs very poorly, parlament can vote a lack of confidence, in which case a new government must be formed, and the Prime minister can choose to have a new election.

The idea of a president running the government is problematic IMO. In Denmark there is absolutely zero doubt that no member of parlament or the government or otherwise are above the law.
There are protections against frivolous lawsuits for EU politicians, but that protection goes away as soon as they leave/lose their seat, and is always removed if there is an actual case.
Unfortunately we saw that last year, where the protection was lifted for a corrupt member of EU parlament from Greece.

Whatever happens, I wish the Americans best of luck, unfortunately it seems like it's very much needed.
