    My ‘dem shilling’ is based on cold hard facts. I have thrown away votes on Jill Stein before. Rally support for third parties in local elections till the cows come home. Please! But if you think Jill Stein has any chance of accomplishing anything aside from splitting the left in this or any election you are delusional.

    And personally Jill is the Hilary of the Greens. They can do better.

      Where? You’ve presented nothing.

      Then what? You’re too lazy to make change, you just vote and do nothing. I am making change in my community, what are you doing?

      And personally Jill is the Hilary of the Greens. They can do better.

      Then run for the candidacy. Green party is democratic unlike the “Dem” side of capitalism you want to vote for and she was the most popular candidate by far.

        Rude. You don’t know me based on a comment.

        I am making change in my community

        How’s that, maybe you could try to lead by example instead of insult.

        Then run for the candidacy. Green party is democratic unlike the “Dem” side of capitalism you want to vote for and she was the most popular candidate by far.

        Dude, how old are you?

        Are you even from the US to make any kind of knowledgeable comment on our politics? I ask because we don’t call our news the post. Also you clearly didn’t know of what you speak considering what happened last time people tried to really a third party vote here.

          The literal post we’re commenting on.

          Also you clearly didn’t know of what you speak considering what happened last time people tried to really a third party vote here.

          We’re not even taking votes from Dems, going for non-voters.

            Ok, fair enough, where you’re from honestly isn’t super important, I was curious. I’m also a little confused, how do you target non voters ensuring you don’t take votes away from Democrats. Would you mind explaining that to me?

              Gotcha, from the US. The Greens don’t spend money trying to fight against Dem party narratives (Russia/Republican funded and spoiler) that Dem voters hear because it’s mostly a lost cause. We try to target working people that don’t vote
