Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

So, uh, why doesn't Jill run for house or Senate? You know, places that she might actually be able to get into a position of power and not be a joke of a spoiler candidate?
I don't know her personally, so that would be something you would have to ask her. I'd like to see her do that as well.
But I personally don't think she's a "joke of a spoiler candidate."
She wastes time and money every 4 years doing something that has 0% chance of success, and realistically can only harm the side she's closest to.
Ultimately, what you think doesn't matter when the results of her campaign are at best her being a joke of a spoiler candidate.
Ultimately, what I think DOES matter. To me. And when I vote for who I wanna vote for in the election.
I totally support you voting for whoever you want to in the election. And I'm voting for Jill Stein. :)
Yes it matters to your opinion, not about whether the party you support isn't actually a joke spoiler party. Because it is lol.
And you're allowed to support whatever candidates you choose to, no matter how little chance they have or the laughability of their party.
I don't think it is. And if you think it's such a joke, then you don't have anything to worry about, right?
Thank you. And since they have such little chance, then you don't have anything to worry about, right?
