I really don't follow this person so I don't really care but it's the assumptions that she would do only fans just because shes a woman and that there would be anything wrong with it if she did that're both kinda gross to me ngl.

They're mostly owned by match, including tinder. So I wouldn't trust them either personally.

For me it's not about her it's just an annoying and unfunny meme.

If you're saying that earning an endorsement from antisemites for going against Israel makes Stein an antisemite, by extension, for going against Israel, because that is why Duke endorsed her, then yeah that kinda is what you're saying...

If the Democrats want my vote they are more than welcome to adopt a thing or two from the third parties that split their vote. How else would I communicate my size as a voter bloc and the specific policies we support, and how could I have any sway in any direction if my vote is to be taken for granted?

They seem to understand this when it comes to Republicans... I wonder why it never goes the other way. Seems that kind of strategy would be much more effective as a viable party in winning voters from a non-viable party, and much easier to triangulate, no?

The boat is already full of holes, so who put them there? Why didn't they spend the last 4 years patching them, why haven't they thrown the other guy off the boat already, and why have they adopted his boat-cutting rhetoric? Why do you have to deny the democrat's agency in this situation in order to make your point? Their platform is not immutable, it can and should change to one that captures more voters, and the fact it hasn't at such a supposedly critical point with such loud opposition should be a clear message to you: either this election isn't as important as they say it is, or they think they can leave us behind and we will vote for them anyways.

This does not bode well for your future protests, which by the way have already been happening on college campuses and have been met with police violence, uncontested smearing in the media, and not even the barest minimum of defense or policy change from your candidate and current vice president.

You can sit here and try to convince me and the other guy all you want but ultimately we snd the rest of lemmy are a drop in an ocean. Nothing will change unless there's a change in strategy at the top. Their strategy is actively working against your efforts to convince us and yet they urge you to believe that Trump is the most dangerous man on the planet and that they fear for the country if he wins.

If this is true, then why aren't they running a more dynamic and broad-reaching campaign and making real compromises with voters that would split their vote if they broke away? Do you not see the glaring contradiction in their actions vs their words? Is that really a strategy you want to endorse? To promote fear instead of democracy?

Do you not see the value in demonstrating that their losing strategy is, in fact, a losing strategy? How it does you a disservice to cave so easily - to genocide, I might add - without first making demands? What should motivate them to meet your demands if you're just going to vote for them anyways and you never exercise any of your bargaining power to make them sweat?

Try strattera. It's not for everyone and it takes a bit of ramp-up but when it works it's really awesome.

All of that text and you didn't address a single thing that I said.

You don't need to explain your line of thinking to me. I've been beaten over the head with it. I used to have the same line of thinking. It does not hold up to reasoned criticism and it simply is not possible to defend at this moment without minimizing genocide. Try it. Try having this conversation with someone that is watching their loved ones be murdered indiscriminately by our tax dollars. Go tell them how your chosen social issue is more important than Palestinian lives, that it justifies supporting with your vote and tax dollars a country that is bombing and starving living human beings, who are mostly children, and see if you feel so righteous at the end of it.

The Democrats do not care about any of your issues. They care about winning, and they care about fundraising. When their fundraising is actively threatened by your issues, the only way to get them to move on anything is to threaten their ability to win elections. Look: Biden just fucking did it, a legitimate threat to cut off aid (still only a threat but it's a start), and I guarantee you it would not have happened if this election was smooth sailing for Kamala. No thanks to you and all of you screeching about the end of the world if Trump wins.

Both of your cups are poisoned, so call their bluff. Refuse to drink the poison and demand an option without poison. The cups did not just materialize there as immutable objects, they were put there by politicians that need us more than we need them and have the power to change what goes in the cup. Do not for a second let them deceive you into thinking otherwise.

If they see they cannot win without you, they will move mountains to come meet you. Lesser evil voting does not allow for that exchange to happen. In fact it actively undermines it. That is how we got here, that is how we keep ratcheting to the right. Not any of your bullshit about unelected judges.

Ah gotcha. Didn't know any better and assumed you were JAQing off trying to make a point.

I also find Claudia De La Cruz compelling but she would be a write-in candidate in my state as she's not on the ballot here.

Hey, if you're that curious, here's an idea. Throw some darts at a map and drop the addresses into onyourballot.vote411.org. It'll spit out a list of all the local and federal races and what candidates are on the ballot for them in that particular district.

Not Jill Stein, if that's what you're asking. Looking like Cornel West but I haven't fully reviewed my options. Might also write someone in. It's less about the particular candidate and more about the message I'm sending.
