She's the only anti-genocide candidate on the ballot. That's enough to ~~get~~ waste my vote.
Fixed it for you.
My conscience won't allow me to vote for someone who is handing weapons to mass murderers. I'm not wasting my vote, I'm using it exactly how I want to use it. I wish I could compartmentalize the way you do and focus on the bigger picture but I just won't be able to sleep if I give my vote to a genocider. I'm sorry
I wish i could be a single issue voter. It'd be so much easier to sleep at night if i could arbitrarily pick a single issue then vote for the candidate that pays it lip service. All those xtians voting for trump because they hate abortion. Just like them you'll throw vote for Stein because she's spoken out about 1 of the 3 genocides happening right now, and she's got your vote! How lucky you are. It's kismet that a candidate like Stein exists for you to feel good about your vote.
It's the one that my government is arming and providing international cover for that I'm most concerned about
If Jill Stein wins the election, then breaks the defense treaty the US has with Israel, what do you think Netanyahu does with his nuclear arsenal?
Do you think Stein will continue to honor the defense treaty the United states has with Ukraine in their fight against Russia? What do you think world leaders will think about United states treaties and agreements if Stein breaks one of them?
I want my government to stop arming and defending the complete annihilation of Palestinian people and civilization. I don't have a say in what those other leaders do I only have a say in what my leaders do and enabling a genocide is beyond the bounds of what I'm willing to support or vote for.
~~As you have complained about someone else responding to your comments in this thread, I require that you stop. There's no way that I'll allow you to request someone be silenced without you being quiet as well.~~
As this was reported as mod abuse, I retract the statement. I also have restored the other person's comment.
Of the 2 candidates most likely to be in office next year, which of them is most likely going to uphold your right to protest against US arming Israel?
I think I've made myself clear about how I feel and why I feel that way. Please leave me alone
Im trying to understand your perspective. How would a green party potus get any legislation done with a Congress full of Democrats and Republicans?
