You're right.
That said, that isn't a pragmatic goal. Jill Stein cannot win because of the USA's backwards election systems. Furthermore, it's imperative that Trump and the right do not win considering the effect it will have on social issues, civic rights and climate policy.
That said, Jill Stein would still be complicit with the imperialistic horrors of America, as I don't think her policies include removing every US base on foreign soil, completely disbanding every single US police department and emptying every prison while revoking the 13th Amendment and replacing it with one that actually bars slavery, and returning all stolen land back to the Natives it was taken from, nor do I think she is capable of doing those things with the US in its current state.
By supporting Jill Stein, you are also saying that systemic racism and genocide are not dealbreakers. You are inadvertently cherry picking which genocides you can stomach.
I'm sorry the goalpost has been moved so far I can't even see it anymore.
The amount of mental gymnastics people are willing to do to justify supplying weapons to an ongoing Genocide is amazing.
That's disingenuous and disappointing.
It's not even accurate. I'm not justifying supplying weapons to Israel anywhere in any of my posts and I even make it clear that it's an abhorrent position.
Your posts have devolved into spitting out debate buzz words de jure like some inarticulate anti-Zionist Ben Shapiro.
You're doing your cause a disservice when you look this foolish.
Saying that Trump would be worse is literally justifying it.
Anyone supporting Trump or Harris does not care about the cause of Palestinians that's for certain.
That point is absurd and stupid.
You are either so blinded by the fervor of your single cause that you have become incapable of thought outside of rhetoric or you are an unserious person.
Some people have moral red lines.
You only have ad-hominems.
