Time for the already miniscule left vote to split EVEN FURTHER
unfathomable how anyone could live through 2016 and 2020 and still believe in electoralism at the national level

But if we don't vote this time, democracy is over for sure
If we don't vote for Biden they'll restart student loan payments, covid relief will end, the right to abortion could be taken away, labor and environmental movements will be repressed and a bunch of anti Trans bills could get passed.
I support this if only to piss off the Hillary stans 😎
All the insufferable nerds on r/politics screaming "she is literally paid by Putler nooo" right now, I can hear it lmfao
Oh, no! Now Cornel West has no chance of winning.
I know the Green Party is kind of the loser-dork party, but at least their values are closest to my own. It's a shame they get like single digit percentage of votes, but I wouldn't feel bad if a US Green Party won an election anywhere. I'm sure they would be annihilated or assimilated by political machine, but yeah I could rock with a green party candidate.
I dont know how close the two parties are hut I voted for the German green party. I have never been more ashamed.
Aren't they the ones that shut down the nuclear plants and replaced them with steel behemoths that eat wind farms and shit out coal.
Man they're the ones who chose the foreign affairs minister. I legit voted for this woman to succeed Merkel like the lib that I was.
greens in the US are a joke compared to similar parties in europe. this whole continent is bought and paid for by the oil industry, the most green you can be in establishment politics is advocating subsidies for car companies that develop a hybrid vehicle.
at least their values are closest to my own
Eh. They were under Nader. Now I don't know what the Greens stand for anymore. Certainly, there isn't any active organization in my home town of Houston. And as to their activism... I'd vote for the "Food Not Bombs" Party before the Greens, any day.

Fair point. I guess I'd just be happy with any non-"Covertly or Overtly Reactionary party" at this point.
It's her turn!
I said I'd do it again and I get to vote for Jill Stien to just piss off the libs again
Its her turn
yeah good ok
what is dead may never die
running for 3rd party in the presidential election is such a waste of time. itd make way more sense to go for Congress or state legislatures. also her trying a third time is hilarious.
Probably a hot take, but her anti-vaxxer pandering was extremely cringe before COVID, and if she doesn't fully denounce any vaccine "skepticism" now, she needs to fuck off forever.
, Afroman already has my 
Since I live in a safely blue state I voted for her in 2016. No regrets, didn’t change a damn thing since, surprise surprise, my vote doesn’t matter cause I don’t live in a swing state.
The first picture I saw of Jill Stein was her with hands painted red, screaming in Condaleeza Rice's face. Always had a softspot for the lady, even if she is kind of a weirdo.
I thought Cornell West was running on the Green Party ticket? Not that it matters
Nah he left to run as an independent for no discernible reason lmao
Thanks, i hadn't heard that. Sounds like a really solid campaign he's running there.
His explanation was that the primary process in the green party would get in the way of campaigning. Personally I'm not buying it, and it's a bad move. Getting ballot access is crucial if you're serious about challenging Biden, and the Green Party (and Libertarian Party) are the only parties that are going to be on the ballot in every state.
And then there's also the thing where he's apparently friends with Harlan Crow, has a bunch of tax debt, etc. Great academic, probably not someone that should run for President.
Who cares?
