Trigger Warning: American Politics
Why is anyone voting for Dr. Jill Stein of the Green Party?
The New Republic
"In fact, no Green Party candidate has ever won federal office. And Stein’s reign has been a period of indisputable decline, during which time the party’s membership—which peaked in 2004 at 319,000 registered members—has fallen to 234,000 today."
Slate
"Mohamed Almawri ...decided to become part of a bloc of Arab voters and cast a “conscience vote” in Michigan. For him, that means voting for Jill Stein.
“We’re going to make history as the Muslim community standing against a U.S.–funded genocide,” Almawri told me. “We’re holding this administration accountable,” ...“The value of defeating the Democratic Party makes Trump a price we’re willing to pay,” he said"
New York Times
"“We are not in a position to win the White House,” another speaker, Kshama Sawant, a former member of the Seattle City Council, told a crowd of about 100 inside an Arab American cultural center. “But we do have a real opportunity to win something historic. We could deny Kamala Harris the state of Michigan.” ...“I like her very much,” Mr. Trump said of Ms. Stein at a rally in June. “You know why? She takes 100 percent from them.” ...figures with ties to Mr. Trump and Republicans who have worked to help Ms. Stein secure ballot access.
In Wisconsin, a lawyer who was previously involved in lawsuits seeking to overturn the 2020 election results represented the Green Party. In New Hampshire, a veteran Republican operative submitted signatures for Ms. Stein.
Jay Sekulow, who defended Mr. Trump at his first impeachment trial, has worked on behalf of the Green Party in Nevada, a rare battleground where Democrats have successfully thwarted her.
“We have never knowingly received help from Republicans,” Ms. Stein said, a claim that Democrats find ludicrous. “Now, they might have done this once or twice, having kind of snuck in under the radar.”"
U.S. News and World Report
"Stein is ...targeting voters like me – progressives, and especially Arab Americans. In the battleground state of Michigan, there are at least 206,000 registered Muslim voters ...Stein recently asserted that “under Democrats, the anti-war movement goes to sleep.” On the contrary, the anti-war movement – led by progressive organizations like ours, Common Defense – successfully pressured President Joe Biden and the Democratic establishment to end the forever war in Afghanistan; advocated for Congress to reassert its War Powers Resolution authority; and has called for a cease-fire since the war began in Gaza last year. What has Stein achieved for the anti-war cause? Nothing.
Trump has never engaged with progressives or Muslim Americans, and that won’t change if he’s elected again. When he first campaigned in 2015, he called for a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.” When he became president, he signed an executive order banning people from six Muslim-majority countries from entering the U.S., blocking desperate families of refugees seeking asylum from wars and repressive governments in the Middle East and North Africa. At home, he boosted distrust and hate of Muslim Americans, repeating false claims that “thousands and thousands” of Arab Americans in New Jersey cheered on 9/11 as the twin towers came down.""
USA Today
""All you do is show up once every four years to speak to people who are justifiably pissed off, but you're just showing up once every four years to do that, you're not serious," AOC said. "To me, it does not read as authentic. It reads as predatory." ...The Green Party selected Stein as its presidential nominee in 2012, 2016, and 2024, ...Stein also ran unsuccessful third-party campaigns to become Massachusetts's governor in 2002 and 2010."

these million ish people might cost us the election and my god that makes me so angry
YES we should have ranked choice voting and yes the us should have evolved past the two party system by now BUT the place to start that change is not a presidential election
being president only works if you have the backing of congress and the senate and since both require a 50% majority to pass legislation we are locked into a two party system if you want to change that we’ll number one you’d have to do some amendments to the constitution changing the 50% rule and run and get elected as a third party candidate in low level elections
school board, city planning committee, mayor whatever local government office you think you can win and work up from there systemic change only works when you start from the ground up you can’t just go right for the big office and not have the support to get anything done
#bash badgers on#sorry for the rant i just have a lot of feelings about this#is it obvious i took APUSH senior year lol#us elections#the green party

Breaking my hiatus to ask anyone of voting age in the UK to vote GREEN on THURSDAY 4th JULY (US Independence Day). Voting for Labour is voting for Kier Starmer (booooo), who has made it clear on several occasions that he doesn’t support or care about several marginalised communities (LGBTQ, transgender, immigrants) and their manifesto is the same old story it has been for years. DON’T. They are Tories in Labour clothing. GREEN is for CHANGE. Fighting climate change, more funding for the NHS, state and SEN schools, support for the people who need it most.
VOTE FOR THE GREEN PARTY!
Read their manifesto here.

Dr.Jill Stein & Dr.Butch Ware On Running As Green Party Candidates, Trump, Gaza genocide, Russian agent accusation, and why resistance is never futile, even after losing.
At this point it should be obvious that it is the presidential elections that get most of the attention and brings people to your party, so stop telling Greens to only focus on local elections.
TW for a Democrat who was absolutely embarrassing herself.

In Croydon, Labour's toxic track record makes it 'no Khan-do'
After another two-day election count and too many coffees, political editor WALTER CRONXITE sifts through the detritus of Croydon and Sutton’s part in the 2024 London elections Having a Mayor…: Sorry to keep you all waiting Not for the first time, Croydon kept London waiting. It was getting on for 9 o’clock at the ExCel Centre last night when the telling teams from Croydon and Sutton councils…

Listen. I hope I’m wrong. I hope in 1-3 days you all can point at this post and be like “look at this idiot for being paranoid.” I do. But I feel like the writing’s on the wall. There are no paths forward without Pennsylvania, and that gap is too large.
I hope the non-voters are happy. Legitimately. I hope the Green Party is happy. For real. I hope this outcome brings them the joy they hoped it would. I hope they don’t come to regret the next 2-4 years. I hope they’re at peace.
I hope Europe isn’t forced to change their stance on Ukraine like many Prime Ministers have warned they would. I hope there are Palestinians left in Gaza to liberate after Trump “finishes the job” and gets his real estate property. I hope the number of queer folk killed, whether individually or systematically, in the coming years is minimal. I hope the number of women killed by inaccessibility to medical care is minimal. I hope the number of disabled people who face financial hard times is minimal. I hope we genuinely can cruise through these next 4 years. I hope I’m still around to try and fix this in 2-4 years.
I hope the message the non-voters and Green Party sent is actually received. I hope they didn’t send the message to Democrats that conservatism is the way to win and what we should be embracing.
I hope that nothing in Project 2025 is completed. I hope we win at least one branch to throw a stick in the gears of fascism. I hope Trump bombs his second term so poorly that 2026 wipes the GOP out of the House and Senate.
I hope there’s still a global superpower to fix in 4 years. I hope that the corruption we’ve allowed to thrive tonight doesn’t infect our neighbors across the Atlantic like they fear it will.
I still hope for a better future. But I don’t believe that future is going to happen this time. I’m going to try to go to bed.

Please don't let a Yorkshire owned theme-park company destroy Loch Lomond. Look, I'm not eloquent enough to break everything down but this application, if put through would see the destruction of one of the most beautiful places in Scotland.
It holds so many precious memories. Wildlife would be affected drastically, tourism of that scale in this area would do more harm than good.
The link below will give you more details and there's also a petition. It would mean the world to me if you gave it some attention. Thank you.
