    Jill Stein doesn’t put in the efforts between presidential elections to promote her party or to get her candidates elected in local, state or federal elections.

    She’s not for helping anyone besides herself and a majority of Muslim Americans realize this.

      You just get that impression because the media isnt interested in her between elections. She continues having events and talks and doing political work.

          You really cant be crusading against a party being elected and then try and complain that theyre not getting elected.

              Yes, effort is put in. Effort that you and the DNC are fighting against on a daily basis. How much effort gets someone elected for the green party? Can you give me a number of speeches given, emails sent, flyers put up, that guarantees their candidate gets elected?

                  Nah we’re talking about putting in effort. They can put in all the work in the world but they cant force anyone to vote for them.

    1.34% of the American population, the third largest religion in the US behind Christianity and Judaism.

    I’m also going to point out that voting based on what’s happening to people who share your religion in a foreign country is a TERRIBLE idea. If you make that your voting priority, it will bite you in the face in other aspects of your life because someone will exploit you for their own ends. The same is pretty much true for any single issue voter.

    We’re all free to be stupid, but it probably won’t end well.

      How about based on whats happening to people that dont share my religion? Because what is happening is so horrific it doesnt matter what group they belong to, it must be stopped.

        When was the last time you posted about the other genocides going on? Do you even know which ones I’m talking about?

        Or are you just following the social context around the Israel-Palestine conflict and ignoring the fact that there are multiple other major genocides occurring right now? One of them has had a few hundred thousand kids forcibly separated from their parents and sent to special boarding schools, the other is at almost a half million deaths, both dwarfing the scale of the Israeli-Palestine conflict by almost an order of magnitude.

        How about them? Where’s the university protests? Where’s the demands for divestment? You haven’t even made a single comment or post about any of them from what I can see.

        Nah, this one is the fad genocide to be all upset about right now.

          Nope. Every vote for Harris is stealing a vote from third-party candidates who represent real change. By sidelining those voices, you’re indirectly helping Trump win!

          If you really want to avoid a Trump win, supporting a viable alternative outside the two-party system is the only way to push the conversation forward. :)

            Nice try but that’s in no way nearing reality. It is however, intentionally enraging. What a great guy.

    They should withhold their vote for the person contributing to getting their family members killed. When Democrats lose again it will be their own doing, again.

    The cult of personality to the point of being willing to overlook genocide is insane

        Because that’s a vote for Trump in a swing state, not because “they’re angry you’re not a democrat”

                  Everyone with any moral conscience knows liberals, at their core, do not give a fuck about the marginalized any more than Republicans. Their primary concern is protecting their status in society at the expense of the marginalized. They talk about BLM while voting for the people that caused the need for BLM to exist. They talk defund the police while supporting the people building 100 cop cities across the country being trained by the IDF. They shed crocodile tears about kids in cages under Trump while ignoring who built them and that there are STILL kids in cages in facilities with no or minimal AC in Texas and Arizona summers.

                  And now they are overlooking genocide because the other guy might do it too.

        They dont understand how election math works, a vote for Harris is taking a vote away from a third party candidate and is giving it to Trump.

          That’s not how any of that works. The only reason people consider 3rd party votes throw aways is because 3rd party absolutely with 100% confidence will not win the federal election right now. America isn’t primed to allow that to happen at this stage and level. They need to take local elections first and build up the movement getting enough backing to make the federal level even close to possible.

          And whether voting for 3rd party is throwing a vote to one of the other two parties comes down to which one the voter would have voted for had a 3rd party not been an option. If they would’ve voted for the democratic candidate, but instead chose to vote for a 3rd party that has 0% chance of winning, then yeah, it hurts the democratic platforms chances. If they would have voted republican, but chose to vote for a 3rd party with 0% chance of winning the it hurts the repiblican platforms chance. Therefore green party votes are considered mostly detrimental to democratic platforms because their voters are more left leaning in nature. Few would vote republican when no 3rd party option presented itself.

          The idea that voting democratic or republican is throwing away a vote from green to their competitor isn’t functional since the party has zero chance of winning, even if the fence sitters joined them. If they were competitive on federal level you would have a point though.
