If you don’t like it, vote.

It’s funny, literally every Doctor Who fan knows this word and what it means thanks to Neil Gaiman.

And yet Fox News will run a dozen stories on how Walz “lied” about his time in China.

We have an aging, fat, sick society and they require very expensive care.

This is the exact reason why the mandate existed. Having all the young and healthy people paying into the insurance as well offsets the costs. That being said it would have been far better to have a public insurance run by the government that wasn’t beholden to profit. AKA M4A

When one side of the political spectrum continually lies about literally everything, stating the obvious has basically become the job of journalists.

Actually up until about a decade or so ago it had been Republicans who were promising to reschedule weed. The Democrats had been firmly against it until very very recently.

The president is immune from prosecution for any official acts. There’s nothing that can stop them from being persecuted for them.

The DEA has really dragged it out

Color me surprised. It’s not like they’ve made millions by confiscating people’s possessions in the name of “the drug war”. Oh wait, that’s exactly what they’ve been doing since they were established. Seriously, fuck the DEA.

You should learn how the drug schedule system works. The president can’t just snap his fingers and make it legal.

I absolutely despise libertarians. But I approve this message.

all they have to do is drop their unconditional support for Israel’s genocide.

First off they are not unconditionally supporting the genocide. Both Biden and Harris are working for a ceasefire. The fact that Israel is not complying or even giving it any serious thought is because we have a plurality of people in this country who do unconditionally support Israel and will not vote for a party that does not actively show support for Israel. So if Biden or Harris actually came out and said they would stop providing weapons and money to Israel they would lose 10 times more votes than the number of people who are voting for Jill Stein because she’s being critical of them for “unconditional support of Israel’s genocide”.

If you are voting for Jill Stein because of the whole Israel issue. Then you deserve to lose all of the rights that get taken away if and when Trump wins. For reference see Roe versus Wade.

The point is she doesn’t have a base. She’s never actually worked to get one. She comes out of the woodwork every 4 years to poke holes in the liberal candidate talking points and cause these rifts in the left. The people who vote for her are almost all independent voters who are “sick and tired of voting for the lesser of two evils”. Yet not one of those people will get up off their asses to push their local legislatures to enact ranked choice voting in order to provide an actual avenue for a third party candidate to get elected.

Then you need to get out more because she’s been on a whole mess of main stream media.

It’s not conservative voters who are going to be voting for her.

I have since altered it to remove the offending remarks. Basically I called the person an idiot, but in some slightly stronger language. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like the mods care to restore the comment.

Oh yeah you turned that argument right back around on me. It’s not like there’s millions literally millions of liberal voters out there who don’t even know who Jill Stein is much less will likely vote for her or any other third party candidate for that matter.

Pushing the democrats left has never worked in my lifetime and possibly ever.

Several very progressive candidates are currently serving in Congress now. And Bernie Sanders is now on several powerful senate committees that have the influence to make real changes. But he needs backup. They all do. And neither the the green party nor the PSL are going to provide that. Because they have literally no one in any office in Washington.

So yeah, your vote is as ineffective as if you didn’t bother voting. So I treat it as though you didn’t bother voting. But in the media you’re going to be part of that statistic that sits over to the side of the screen pointing out all the people who could have helped Kamala Harris win if she ends up losing to Trump. Which I really hope she doesn’t but this race is far closer than I would prefer. Which is why I am, quite frankly, very angry at people like you. Because instead of helping you give us sophistry.

But mah integriteh!!! Mah principals!!!

You put it much much better than I ever could. Best comment 10/10

By extension you are enabling Donald Trump. So, quite frankly, insults are required.

If more of you “conscientious objectors” actually showed up to vote we could actually start working on the Democratic party and trying to shape it better by pushing for more progressive candidates within the party. Instead you’re giving meat to the right by leaving the vote tallies at too close to call numbers while Jill Stein gets her not even 5% of the vote and then walks home with all those juicy endorsements which she will spin into nice fat paid lectures. All the while holding us in this pattern of continually fighting against the absolute evil that is conservativism. We are fighting for a better world, while you are throwing a tantrum.
