Oh cool. Democrats are talking like they aren't going to accept the very first answer without question and immediately give up forever again.

    Show me what Jill 'Putin's footstool' Stein is doing about this.

    Leftist here who voted a totally dem ballot. No clue what any of steins policies are, never voted third party. Doesn't mean I support neolib dems, it's just the fascist lite option US peasants are given and might slightly delay further fascism as long as the right oligarchs pay the libs to do so.

    I'm a leftist because instead of burying my head in the sand like neolib dems, I look at functional countries who aren't afraid of limiting capitalism and leaning into socialism (inb4 hurrhurr China Russia, fuck all authoritarian regimes) and I see that they fucking work and that those people aren't struggling daily in a dystopian hellhole.

    The fact that dems fight so hard to "do it the US way" just like MAGA, rather than looking at those countries and begging for help on how to do what they do should tell you what they really support

    You don't have to be a fan of Jill Stein or even third party politics to recognize how poorly the Democratic establishment has squared up against this administration. It's certainly something worth addressing for up-coming primaries if we want candidates who can pull back third party voters. Shoving it under the rug isn't going to make it go away, and will ultimately lead to more third party voters.

    The point is that there isn't a third party. Jill Stein is a Russian agent. She's paid to take votes away from Democrats, so that Republicans can win.

    A Multi-party system is superior. I would like viable options as well. However, ZERO third parties in the USA are genuine. None of them. They're all ruses, fakes, lies, plots...

    Interesting point, but what on earth is it doing here? This post and the comment you replied to have fuck all to do with third parties. Is this going to just be the standard boiler plate reply to every criticism of the Democrats? "Yeah but Jill Stein...."

    The usual centrist assumption is that anyone who doesn't love everything corpodems do is a trumpist. This is a very slight improvement.
