I don't get this. 3rd party will never win. Ever. There are two real options.

People are voting third party because you believe there are only 2 real options.

Vote for the one that offers the best outcome for you.

Gotcha, we should vote for Claudia De La Crúz.

Not doing that is accepting that you are ok with the worst of the two, because you had a chance to keep them out of office and choose not to.

Both Trump and Harris are the worst options, that's why we are going against them.

A vote for Harris is a vote for Trump.

Ah, you were a different user jumping in, my bad. Either way, that's what was asked originally.

My personal opinion? Claudia De La Crúz all the way.

It's important to note that Duke endorse Stein because she supports ending support for Israel, and Duke hates Jewish people, he doesn't care about genocide at all.

Other than the genocide of their friends and relatives? Increased anti-immigrant policies, failures to address concerns of marginalized communities, failures of the liberal Capitalist system at large, etc.

They aren't voting for Trump either, most are going to Stein.

I understand, you asked me who the anti-genocide groups were supporting, not a vetted list of everyone who has come out in favor of each third party.

When you are faced with high numbers of marginalized people refusing to vote for candidates contributing to the genocide of friends, relatives, and people of a similar heritage, and your response is that they are "stupid," rather than trying to understand why they are acting in that manner, you assert yourself as more "enlightened," and the marginalized people as uniquely stupid. That is why it is racist.

I don't think continuation of the ever-worsening status quo counts as a revolution

Any anti-genocide candidate, Claudia De La Crúz is best but Jill Stein is often pushed as an alternative.

It's important to note that Duke said he supports Stein because Stein is against funding Israel, and David Duke hates Jewish people, he doesn't care about genocide. He supported Trump in 2016 and 2020 but said Trump is too supportive of Israel for 2024.

I'm all on-board with revolution.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 15 points 10 months ago (23 children)

Third Party, tyically, that's what most anti-genocide groups are advocating for.

To show the votes she lost by going in on genocide, instead of leaving it to minimization by the media.
