“This is just Dem propaganda, cooked up by the establishment to prevent valid, wholesome, totally ethical and on our side third parties like the Greens from becoming the powerhouse they could be!” - tankies and Russians operatives on this site probably

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.

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.

"Voting doesn't matter"- also the tankies
jill stein is a useful idiot for putin
A useful idiot doesn't know they're useful...
Stein 100% knows she's useful to Putin by now.
Seeing her refuse to denounce Putin in the Mehdi Hassan interview sure was something.
Disagree. Definition of a useful idiot is this: "suggesting that the person thinks they are fighting for a cause without fully comprehending the consequences of their actions, and who does not realize they are being manipulated"
Jill Stein may be aware that she's been useful to Putin, but that doesn't contradict the above definition and she can still qualify for the "useful idiot" label. The main thing here is that she's not a Russian asset - she's being manipulated perhaps but not under Putin's Russia's direct control.
Of course she is!
Always has been
"I don't understand what you means by a vote for third party is a vote for Trump!?" they said while drooling on the floor.
Allies of former President Donald Trump and others affiliated with the GOP are supporting the Green Party's Jill Stein in the hopes that her presidential bid will divert attention and votes away from Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, The Wall Street Journal reported.
I and many others have been saying this for over a year now. Some of us got out posts removed for suggesting it- and the rest was downvoted into oblivion.
Seems they’re all button-lipped and silent on the subject now. Imagine that.
Well yeah, their employers got shut down a month or two back, right?
Can't wait for what's-his-name to show up with the worst fucking take you've ever read.
I hate that guy
Everyone here does.
come on guys I got something to say
Do you realize how little that narrows it down
Oh we all know exactly why they’re talking about.
Me? That's usually my job, but Jill Stein can jump off a bridge, so I won't be giving any hot takes in this thread.
No if you were that guy, you'd fuckin know lol
I don't know exactly who you're talking about but there's a bunch of people on my block list so I hope I already got them.
This is easy to understand when you take into account that Jill Stein is a piece of shit.
No but vote for her to send the Democrats a message or something.
Fucking Christ, they're really phoning it in. How is this election even close?
Because over half of Americans are terminally stupid.
If you really want to waste your vote on a third party (and it is a waste in our shitty two party system) there are so much better options out there.
But, given the stakes in this election, I'd urge folks to show up and vote for Harris even in solid blue states. The stronger the national vote proportion is the harder it will be for assholes to try and subvert the election.
Both sides? Wait, that's a third side. So we've gone polyhedral?
It's just more triangulating
I'm hip so I really hope we get another side - then we can be square together!
I'm shocked I say, shocked and dismayed!
Lmao
Right? If only some could have been telling everyone about this for the past year!
that didn't take long.
Yeah, and her supported knew about this shit all along too. Meanwhile they were removing posts and comments that tried to let people know.
