A row of clown emojis is the only appropriate response.

Now that's some medical-grade copium.

Fuck Jill Stein and every additional piece of shit who promotes her.

Watch this hour long interview Mehdi Hasan did with her. She's fucking horrible and I'm glad the finest interviewer of our time got an hour to push her on her bullshit.

I don't remember hearing any Dems talking about turning Gaza into a beach resort after they purge the locals.

Lol is this real? I've never seen a real person make that argument.

I assume they are just not-so-secretly endorsing Trump. Like, nobody is that dumb.

The Green party is fucking worthless.

It literally always has been.

Especially with Jill "any attention is good attention, have you heard my album?" Stein at the lead. She doesn't want a political platform she just wants a taller soapbox to shout from and act smug from.

This argument boils down to, "I want to be told there isn't a genocide while there still is. I just want the media gone and the watching orgs defunded and threatened so that I don't hear about it. Yes it's still happening at full speed... yes, it's probably even worse now... but I would have heard about it everyday with Harris. With trump, the news is talking about the gulf of America, so I don't have to see it anymore."

☐ Genocide and things stay pretty much the same

☐ Extra genocide and things get worse

☐ Waste vote (get extra genocide anyway)

"Democracy"

Its almost like money and first past the post elections only serve to narrow down political options.

Oh thank God that isn't actually what he said.

I meant I thought he literally said "yeah we are the bad guys"

People should be free to vote for who best represents them while still counting their vote if their preference didn't win.

Passing state level electoral reform will not only empower the creation of stronger 3rd parties, but also force the legacy political parties to have to compete and actually represent people.

No more safe seats, no more hostage situation, no more voting while holding our noses, only democracy. More democracy was always going to be the solution to this problem. Who could possibly be against more democracy?
