Yeah I like my conscience soothed lol. Lol.
Well maybe the democrats will learn something. As for my vote being productive, you can look at the vote count for Jill Stein and know that I took my ballot, filled it out and walked down to the box and dropped it off. And you could have had my vote except genocide was too sweet.
Condescendingly explaining how us politics work I think was the strategy in 2024, you should keep doing it, I see your party is having great success with that approach. Try the unelectable approach for anyone left of reagan too, that one has a consistent track record of success too.
Again not a Democrat. Just knew what was going to happen under 45 and that voting for Stein would lead to 45 being president again.
That the genocide in Gaza would be worse under 45. Which it is
Like I said Stein wasn't on the ballot in all 50 states and couldn't win
You just want to be smug and happy in your sheltered position thinking the election was an aristocratic squabble and you farts don't stink
Not what us election are now, a dirty fight in the gravel lot outside the local bar.
And if it all falls down and we turn into fascism you know your smug vote for Stein won't get you any favors except you feeling superior than everyone.
Again my vote went to who I though had a shot at beating 45 and in turn helping Palestinians in the long run as again 45 was would be worse and Stein couldn't win . Or I'm arguing with a bot or agent out of Africa, the middle East or Russia
This is historically illiterate nonsense.
Calling me smug is pretty rich.
What I want is a actual good policy.
Lol good lord you're so boring and stupid. I'm not voting for your dumbass candidate. Not a liberal, votes and supports liberal genociders.
Again Third time not a liberal or a democrat. My political views are not reflected in the current US political establishment, but I will say a 10 mile walk is shorter than a 100 mile walk
You really don't read which at this point isn't surprising then again your translation program is probably horrible on big words.
Personal attacks mean nothing you know you can stop at any time .
Genocider is not even a word.
Also I notice you never addressed the fact that I have asked 3 times.
Are the Palestinian better off with 45?
Again you stated you voted for Stein because of policy, but you knew she wouldn't win. So I think you just wanted to feel smug saying you didn't vote for genocide, but your actions have lead to 45 and a golf course on the rubble of Gaza named after 45, so a worse genocide.
Is it hurting you to remind you your vote to has lead to a worse outcome for the Palestinian people, like all the leftist warned you about?
Your inaction, when you had the chance, has turned your vote into one of genocide.
You vote has lead to a genocide of undocumented people in the US
Your vote has lead to at least 2 murders of US citizens on the streets of Minneapolis
In your effort to be holier than everyone else, your smug demeanor, and state you didn't vote for a "Genocider" has lead to worse atrocities.
But I'm even starting to doubt you voted for Stein as I'm not sure if your in the US.
Also most of the people I know who are greens are leftist and I never hear leftist refer to liberals as libs only conservatives
I'm genuinely curious: do you think you're making a point? This is like the most boring dumbass msnbc talking point. You say I'm smug which is. I can't even express the disdain I have for you lol. You spent time typing out how smart you think you are because there are two parties in the US and that's why we have to be serious about supporting genocide. Did you reference Miriam Webster to see if genocider is a word? You repeated, not smugly?
You're "not a liberal or democrat" you just vote for them and repeat their talking points.
Palestine is objectively experiencing less violence under trump which is wildly pathetic for the biden administration.
Lol lmao you don't know any leftists.
I finally figured out what you are, not worth my time
