    Emphasis on this point.

    Jill Stein has NO path to victory. She would require a 50%+1 majority in at least 270 EV worth of states. She doesn’t even have 10% of the vote share in any state. Thus a vote for her is only marginally better than a vote for Trump, and about as effective as staying home on Election Day.

    This particular poster’s shiny object, Rechele Fruit, has even LESS of a chance. This candidate would require 50%+1 in three states, plus a successful write-in campaign for 50%+1 in another nine states (has that EVER happened in a SINGLE state) to get 87 EVs, a far cry from the 270 she needs to be elected. A vote for her is a fart in the wind. She doesn’t even make the polling.

    One of two people will take the Oath of Office in 2025. If you don’t want Donald Trump and Project 2025 shoved up our privates, vote Harris. If you don’t want Harris, for whatever reason, may you suffer the consequences of Project 2025 particularly harshly, though I doubt many of the shi…err, posters who post here bashing Harris and the Dems will have to suffer the consequences of their claimed votes.

        So you have no dog in this fight. Maybe sit this one out, champ, and stop trying to persuade others to follow your anti-democratic example.

        For the rest of us, please vote! And bring friends with you! Every vote matters. We need all hands on deck.

          Me saying who I am voting for, isn’t “trying to persuade others.”

          I have always said, and will continue to say, people should vote for who they want to. Yes, I encourage everyone to vote for and vote for who they want to, and not allow themselves to be bullied into making a decision they are not comfortable with.

          So nah, not sitting this one out. Thank you!

            You constantly making posts and comments pushing for, again, a clear Russian plant whose entire purpose is to prop up a candidate who has already committed treason twice and who has openly admitted he will end democracy is not benign. Your contributions have, so far, not contributed to healthy discourse, but have been pretty obviously made with the intention to promote division.

            If that’s who you are, just own it. If it’s not, take a step back and examine your motives.

            Here are some sources for you:

            Russians launched pro-Jill Stein social media blitz to help Trump win election, reports say

            FPTP Voting

            And – this one is crucial – how to productively redirect your efforts, if you’re in fact sincere: FairVote Action, an actual grass-roots org working to get rid of the FPTP system to make democracy actually fair.

            If you take nothing else from my comments, at least look at that last link. Your energy would be far better served there than what you’re doing now. Be the change you want to see.

              I’m not voting for Jill Stein, though.

              And I’m not pushing her as a candidate, and I’m definitely not telling people who to vote for. I trust the American public to make their own decisions based on what they believe, for whatever reasons matter to them.

              I don’t write the articles; I just post links to them. It’s up to each person to decide if they want to click and read or ignore it entirely.

              Be the change you want to see.

              Oh I am being the change i wanna see. I want to see diversity of political thought without bullying. Thank you!

                  What county do I live in? I’m here in the US. Where do you think I am?! lol

                  Friend, I’ve been voting since before you were born. I’ve been voting since 1988.

                    lol. Friend, I’m older than you. Stop assuming things about people.

                    You said you’re not voting. Why are you relentlessly pushing Stein? Be honest.
