      She picked herself. Let’s not victimize Shill Stein here. Her lack of policy, and unwillingness to lift a finger three out of every four years really helped her solidify her role as the source of her own problems.

      Thankfully, and with additional hope- she’s done and we won’t have to hear from her after November.

        Hopefully not even her shitty folk rock albums.

      If Trump wins, it might not literally be your fault, but we’ll remember that you were okay taking the risk of another Trump term just to cast a protest vote. We’ll remember you aren’t an ally to anti-fascism.

      You have the right to vote however you want to, but when you tell us that you plan to try to throw the election in Trump’s favor, we’ll be listening and we’ll believe you. And if you get what you want, we won’t forgive you.

        You can write your forgiveness down on a peice of paper and fold it till its all sharp corners and jam it, for all any of us care

        The dems need progressive votes to win much of anything, whether they will admit it or not, the numbers dont lie. Pushing to the right so you can get “independent” voters has never worked, but the dems try it in every election. So you should be asking if progressives will forgive you. If Harrs didnt take AIPAC bribes she’d already have the numbers to win. But she took the dirty foreign fascist bribes so here we are. Try the carrot for a change. Your stick is laughable.

        Hey I didn’t say I was voting for her. I’m just pointing out the emotional animosity of finding an easy scapegoat. This is literally proving my point that it’s just an emotional answer.

        You just want someone to blame.

        They don’t. I’ve been trying to explain basic political concepts to my older cousin for 20 years and he’s been voting for Jill Stein at every turn, and then pretended to be disappointed that a republican won as a nepobaby landlord that hates paying taxes.

        People who will vote for a Russian sponsored Republican spoiler are too stupid to be trusted with anything. Or they are morally bankrupt and smart enough to hide it.
