Here’s the problem: Trump is out to maximize environmental damage and the US Green Party runs as spoilers. Let’s look at three scenarios:

Scenario 1:

Harris: 1001 votes

Trump: 1000 votes

Stein: 0 votes

Harris wins


Scenario 2:

Harris: 1000 votes

Trump: 1000 votes

Stein: 1 vote

Tied vote, which goes to the courts and Congress, putting Trump in power


Scenario 3:

Harris: 999 votes

Trump: 1000 votes

Stein: 2 votes

Trump wins outright


This spoiler effect makes it really imperative to actively vote for Harris if you want to see any kind of climate action going forward. Republicans know this, which is why they’re the ones funding the Green Party.

And that’s why the European Greens want Jill Stein to step down now — they get that what she’s doing is making it easier to elect a fascist bent on environmental destruction.

    So, not going to answer the questions I asked you and just pretend it’s going to be exactly the same under both candidates?

    Is that your strategy? Are you a troll?

          You might be.

          I’m pointing out the government is shit

          Nobody is claiming it doesn’t have problems. If you haven’t been paying attention, there are things that non-MAGA wants to change about it.

          Our government is the best in the world

          As we constantly complain about citizens United, electoral college, first past the post elections, car dependant infrastructure, and the list goes on.

      What is exactly your question?

      My “strategy” aka the right thing to do is to not endorse or advocate for criminals. Simple as that

        If you can’t be bothered to read and engage seriously, then you’re a troll, whether intentionally or unwittingly. I’m not going to go read for you.

        Have a day, and maybe learn some reading comprehension skills.
