I'm not sure who she's gonna actually end up hurting this time. I gotta imagine anyone who falls for the Jill Stein shtick is likely to fall for Trump's too.

Its the genocide thats the problem-- Steins numbres are small.. And Jill Stein owes the dems nothing, she can run if she wants. Thats what democracy is about. So the new republic can suck it.

Jill Stein is polling at litterally less than measurable numbers.

"Undecided" represents at least twice the voters Stein appears to be garnering.

Jesus fucking Christ. You win by getting more people to vote for you! If Harris loses, it will be her own fault.

It's not about Harris losing, it's about Trump winning. You're either pragmatic and know that Harris is the only chance we have to prevent that, or you're privileged as shit and know that you'll survive the rise of Fascism if he wins. You definitely know you won't be one of the millions of people he oppresses if your priority is anything but keeping Trump out of the White House.

If Kamala loses it will be her fault. The fact that we'll all suffer for it is beside the point. You might think it's irrelevant, but establishment Dems lose over and over again by ignoring what the left tells them, then they turn around and blame the left. Continuing to indulge their delusions just leads to more losses.

This really isn't about Trump anymore. The Republican party has been transformed, and every single Republican candidate for the foreseeable future is going to be just as much a threat to democracy as Trump, if not more so.

The Greens hurt Democrats far less than the libertarians hurt Republicans, and neither is going anywhere. Democrats need to focus on being better candidates, not finding someone else to blame.

OK so we are picking the new scape goat this election cycle?

[-] Soup@lemmy.cafe 9 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 52 minutes ago)

She picked herself. Let’s not victimize Shill Stein here. Her lack of policy, and unwillingness to lift a finger three out of every four years really helped her solidify her role as the source of her own problems.

Thankfully, and with additional hope- she’s done and we won’t have to hear from her or her annoying fan club after November.

[-] Krauerking@lemy.lol 2 points 16 minutes ago

we won’t have to hear from her

Hopefully not even her shitty folk rock albums.

If Trump wins, it might not literally be your fault, but we'll remember that you were okay taking the risk of another Trump term just to cast a protest vote. We'll remember you aren't an ally to anti-fascism.

You have the right to vote however you want to, but when you tell us that you plan to try to throw the election in Trump's favor, we'll be listening and we'll believe you. And if you get what you want, we won't forgive you.

Hey I didn't say I was voting for her. I'm just pointing out the emotional animosity of finding an easy scapegoat. This is literally proving my point that it's just an emotional answer.

You just want someone to blame.

[-] AidsKitty@lemmy.world -3 points 1 hour ago

If Trump wins it's not Jill Stein's fault you psycho.

[-] Soup@lemmy.cafe 13 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Technically you’re right. But it absolutely will be the non-voters fault, and considering that a vote for Shill Stein is the same thing as throwing away a vote for no good reason…

It’s say it’ll be her supports fault.

[-] Krauerking@lemy.lol 1 points 10 minutes ago

Or its an easy group to blam a cause they are visible and with same fancy logic and math you can pretend their votes belonged to the Democratic Party. You can't just assume they would have voted that way. They can even write in. Non voters are an issue but blaming another group is liking blaming Jews because they work at the bank you think took your house.

Its crazy conspiracy and emotional logic at best.
