i hear about this:

& all i can think of are a few things: for one thing, the Uncommitted Movement, various Muslim community leaders throughout the US, other Palestinian Americans, etc have been PLEADING with people to not vote third party because while it would hurt Harris, it would in turn help trump, & CERTAIN THIRD PARTY VOTERS ARE IGNORING EVERYONE ANYWAYS.

second, while it's great they said something, i wish it wasn't less than a week before Election Day, but maybe it would help some people who haven't voted yet reconsider... maybe.

third, HAHAHAHAHAHA at the way they give the impression they believe jill stein has any integrity, decency, empathy, or anything we would like to have in a potential leader (if she was serious, which she is not). i admire that they are giving the impression they believe the American Green Party has any inclination to pursue its noble goals when their mascot (stein) has index funds with XL Pipeline, has received funds from Lockheed Martin, has stated some anti-vaxx stances, etc while pretending they're pro-environment, pro-human rights (even though she only JUST started "caring" about Gaza this election cycle as though what's happening over there has only been going on since October 7th & not for literal decades), & so on. stein's running mate is also massively anti-lgbtq & anti-abortion but hey he's Palestinian so he understands your genocide hard line!!!!! anyways i have a feeling the European Green Parties are very aware the American Green Party has become a sick joke but i admire their alleged belief in it being on the same page as them.

finally, there's this particular story:

& what it makes me think of is all these LARPing revolutionaries will never, NEVER EVER EVER, have the same courage or backbone the way Liz Cheney has displayed in the wake of real-life fascism. i don't hear jill stein or other members of the Green Party calling out this heinous bullshit. stein is too busy pretending to get that fucking "5%" while trying to make noise in key swing states only instead of blue states where reaching that 5% is more in reach, further proof of her bullshit.

it infuriates me that third party voters & non-voters, ESPECIALLY ones who are encouraging & SHAMING people to do the same, are doing all this bullshit while pretending 2016 didn't happen & so many of these folks are not just white but also INCREDIBLY anti-black even though many of these folks were on the BLM train a few years ago but now black people especially women are also talking about how they're voting for Harris & y'all are CALLING THEM PRO-GENOCIDE FOR IT. y'all are just as complicit as the rest of us because of our tax dollars & i'm not seeing any of you go to jail because you're refusing to pay for them over this. only CERTAIN kinds of genocides count to you & while those who actually have skin in the game, like actual Palestinians, are begging you not to vote third party & to vote for Harris, y'all shit on them & think you know better because you've been on a high fucking horse for a year. you claim to care about climate change but you're working harder to make sure Harris loses which means trump will win. WHAT IS YOUR FUCKING PLAN FOR THIS.

Liz Cheney & other Republicans like her & Muslim Americans who have family & loved ones affected by what our government is helping netanyahu do & are STILL going to vote for Harris & are encouraging others to do the same because they're pragmatic & know what's at stake are braver than any of you accelerationists. you all sound like maga because of your unending love for red flag McGee jill stein. y'all don't think Russia is a problem & that amongst a myriad of things makes you sound fascist as fuck. you make me sick. there's so much at stake. please listen to those who have been doing the actual work longer than you've pretended to give a damn.

i can't get over hearing about the video of a voter writing in the flashy "arms embargo now" instead of voting for PRAMILA JAYAPAL who is up for re-election. do you even know who she is?? do you know how our government works??? your emotions are making you STUPID & encouraging you to "vote" in a way that is just cutting off your fucking nose to spite your fucking face. y'all are UNSERIOUS.

try to be as brave as Liz Cheney & as pragmatic & aware as the rest of the fucking world who knows that third party voting only hurts the Democrats. being an Ernst Thälmann in this election is fucking EMBARRASSING.

German Green Party MP Roth urges regulation of X to “protect democracy”

Green Party MP and German Minister of State for Culture Claudia Roth has said that X needs to be “regulated” to protect democracy, Brussels Signal reports.

Speaking to Table.Media on January 2, Roth said that quality journalism needs better protection and that more regulation is needed to control X.

She noted that her party had pushed for a number of related laws such as the Audiovisual Media Services Directive, the European Media Freedom Act and the Digital Services Act, emphasising that the latter makes the EC the regulator. Roth said:

“The Commission must now assume this new responsibility with the national regulators. We need strong European media laws that ensure the functioning of a democratic public sphere. Especially because the so-called platforms are not platforms for other people’s opinions alone, but massively spread their own opinions.”

Her party’s leader Franziska Brantner demanded that the European Commission investigate the platform’s activities for possible manipulation of public opinion on X.

In an interview with the Tagesspiegel newspaper, she asked whether X owner Elon Musk had customised the platform’s algorithms “so that his posts, for example, appear always and everywhere.” She said she wanted the EC to investigate that possibility. Brantner stressed:

“Even the richest man in the world must abide by our law. With the Digital Services Act, we have the opportunity to tackle this at the European level.”

German politicians were concerned about the recent spat between German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and Musk after Steinmeier officially dissolved the country’s parliament ahead of a snap election in February.

Steinmeier complained that he believed Musk and X had influenced the election campaign, calling it foreign interference and a “threat to democracy.”

US multi-billionaire Musk, who publicly backed the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in an op-ed in Die Welt newspaper, responded and said:

“Steinmeier is an anti-democratic tyrant! Shame on him.”

Regarding the altercation, Roth said:

“The Federal President represents our country. Anyone who denigrates him denigrates Germany. Maybe someone should tell Mr Musk: Wanting to make money here on the one hand and showing no respect for the country and its representatives on the other hand doesn’t go together. When great economic power and power of opinion are combined, it is not good for a democracy.”

She also added:

“That’s why journalists are specifically protected in our media regulations. Journalism is different from using a combination of great economic power and communication power to undermine and undermine democracies. This is extremely dangerous for democratic forms of society.”

After discussing FDP, could you talk about Green parties / Green politics regarding progressive coaltition building, too? In Germany, they have been part of coalitions (mostly with SPD, sometimes on Bundesländer level with conservatives) but are fluctuating between just 5 and 15 % of the vote.

European Greens often engage in "stoplight" coalitions with social democratic or labor parties, although they've occassionally been known to make "Jamaica" coalitions with the center-right both in German lands and in various Belgian municipalities.

I have to admit that I don't know much about the internal factors that push the Greens in either direction, but I'll ask my brother about that because he's a political scientist who's done a fair bit of work on European Green parties.

Absolutely insane that people want to lower the voting age to 16, 16-year-olds are idiots. I was an idiot at 16 and I recognized I was an idiot at 16, and if given the right to vote I absolutely would have just because I feel a duty to. By all means, let them interact with and hold positions in parties, and even encourage them to do so, that will help build political awareness before they're properly ready to vote, but it is entirely irresponsible to trust the fate of entire country to people who have not experienced the full scope of the repercussions for their decisions yet. If we lower voting age to 16, it would then become unreasonable to then not lower the age of maturity when it comes to things like tattoos and self-sustainability, and 16-year-olds should not be burdened with that, they should be allowed to be kids for as long as possible and continue to make mistakes, learn and finish school without all these responsibilities

Socialists-Greens alliance wins Dutch elections to European Parliament

An alliance of the Labour Party and the Green Left (PvdA/GroenLinks) claimed victory in the European Parliament elections in the Netherlands, according to exit polls on Thursday.

An alliance between the Labour Party and the Green Left (PvdA/GroenLinks) won the European Parliament elections in the Netherlands, according to exit polls on Thursday.

A total of 497 candidates, including eight of Turkish origin, from 20 different parties competed for 31 seats in the election. Voting started at 7:30 a.m. local time and ended at 9 p.m. However, final results are scheduled to be announced on the evening of 9 June, after the conclusion of voting in all EU member states.

The official results will be announced on 19 June.

According to an exit poll conducted by public broadcaster NOS and research firm Ipsos, turnout stood at around 47 per cent of the 13 million eligible voters. This marks a notable increase from the previous European Parliament elections in 2019, when turnout was around 42 per cent.

The Labour Party and the Green Left alliance won eight seats, whereas the Freedom Party (PVV), led by Geert Wilders, seemed to fall short of expectations. The PVV, which was leading in the last general election on 22 November, slipped to second place in the European Parliament elections. Exit polls suggest that the party will send seven MPs to the European Parliament.

The elections, which began in the Netherlands on Thursday, will continue on Friday in Ireland, the Czech Republic, and Estonia.

Meanwhile, Wilders expressed a desire to form a joint European faction with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni‘s Fratelli d’Italia, leader of the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) group, and the Rassemblement National of Marine Le Pen, leader of the Identity and Democracy (ID) group, according to Euractiv.
