They say, "There's only two choices" but always fail to articulate the role they play in creating that environment:
Sabby Sabbs On Jill Stein's Power Moves In Michigan.
I'll say this: while getting that coveted 5% will help keep the Green Party (and their messages) alive for future election cycles, if Stein can win Michigan (or even come in second) that would be a true game-changer.
Green VP Candidate Butch Ware on "Wasting Votes"
Voting is both a right and a choice. If you don't decide to participate, that's OK; don't be shamed into supporting someone you don't agree with. If you choose to vote, why not give it meaning by voting for someone as opposed to against someone else?
The Democratic Party Tried to Sink Jill Stein and the Green Party Through the Breakfast Club. It Didn't Work Out As Planned.
Selling weapons to a country hellbent on starting WWIII didn't invoke anger. Neither was betraying unions. Not fighting for (let alone just implementing) universal healthcare during a pandemic was met with yawns. Fracking is fine. Selling weapons to another country to use for a genocide? "Well, the victims may be People of Color, but..." So what upsets the Guardians of American Race Relations, Breakfast Club Branch? Jill Stein rightfully calling Angela Rye's attacks "the talking points" of imperialism and white supremacy . To be fair, the real source of their ire is the inroads the Green Party is making with Muslim Americans, in particular those who support Palestinians. The Democratic Party was so confident that Harris could win on a combination of Obama/Clinton cliff notes and "fear of Trump" that they ignored Palestinian voice at the 2024 Democratic Convention (a convention, mind you, that basically skipped the whole "our nominee should...
Is There Any Gain To Voting For Jill Stein?
Kshama Sawant and Due Dissidence talk about this, a General Strike and more:
Jill Stein/Green Party Has Enough Ballot Access To Win Electoral College.
Don't let anyone tell you that Jill Stein cannot win because of lack of ballot access; she has it : You can use this interactive map to confirm the numbers. Between "Greens on Ballot," "Jill on Ballot," and "Write-In Campaign," Stein can cross the 270 threshold. The question is whether enough people who support the policies she is exposing will voter for her versus either of the two major parties.
Indie News Network: Take Kyle Kulinski's "Endorsement" With a Grain of Salt
From INN's Substack : Krystal and Kyle largely cover the US political horse race on their individual shows, inadvertently helping the Democrats define the policies that their base might want, but everyone on the inside knows the corporate donors will never allow them to enact. They still want to play within this system and win personally, but don’t appear to be as concerned about the financial health of the rest of the country. They get called “the far left” by people like Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, completely marginalizing everyone who think Krystal and Kyle are centrists at best (like me and LOTS more independents). They are definitely corporate apologists - Krystal even more than Kyle. Kyle’s subscriber base is largely progressive lefty Democrats (amazing there are any remaining at this point!) - holdouts from the Bernie Sanders days who are still blind to how much the party loathes them. Somehow, these people still believe in the viability of federal electoral politics to...
