#green party us

[socialismforall]

Free advice to anyone running for POTUS: When they ask you about the $50K you owe in child support & the $500K you owe the IRS, don't dodge the questions. It makes you look ridiculous.

The Green Party US has 10 months to come up w/a better candidate, maybe a labor leader?*

Additionally, West was spotted this week at the sentencing hearing of Mark Ridley-Thomas, convicted of "seven felonies — bribery, conspiracy, four counts of honest services wire fraud, and one count of honest services mail fraud — in a scheme in which he extracted benefits from USC for himself and his son while on L.A. County’s powerful Board of Supervisors," according to the LA Times, as one of Ridley-Thomas's supporters.

For background on Mark Ridley-Thomas, see this article from Knock LA, a grassroots homeless advocacy and support organization featured in our most recent reading, "Infrastructures of Community": https://knock-la.com/mark-ridley-thomas-anti-homeless-camping-laws/ Knock LA reports that, "rather than acting as “champion of the homeless population,” [Ridley-Thomas] acted as champion of homeless policy," and that "Ridley-Thomas introduced legislation for LA Municipal Code 41.18 on June 30, 2021, which bans “sitting, lying, or sleeping or storing, using, maintaining, or placing personal property in the public right-of-way” around transportation structures (everything from driveways to freeway underpasses) [...]. So far, the measure has been used to effectively ban homeless people from taking up space at over 140 sites across the city, with $2 million allotted by the council for the signage alone."

After leaving the courthouse, West was asked why he was supporting an LA politics insider convicted of bribery when his companion shooed the interviewer away, saying they were "putting West's life in danger": https://twitter.com/theveganforest/status/1696290380361162759

As one commenter put it, "Starting to think this Harvard professor-turned-TV gadfly might not be on the level regarding his commitment to left-wing politics."

Typing this ask for your followers, bc i assume you already know this.

Jasmine Sherman has the highest chance of winning out of all third party candidates.

They have ballot access in all states except 2, and they are actively working on getting access in the other two. This is more than almost all other third party candidates, which means that if a candidate doesn’t have access in your state, you can’t vote for them, which severely limits their chances of winning. Other candidates, such as Jill Stein, have 26 states whose ballots do not contain the option to vote for her.

Furthermore, they’re vocally supportive of not just Palestine, but also of the Congo and Sudan. This gives them a leg up in the election, as even the other candidates who support Palestine aren’t nearly as outspoken about it as Sherman is.

Additionally, they’re vocal about Covid 19 procedures and have a transitional lockdown and mandatory vaccination plan. They also support Abolish the Police, and suggest an alternative on their website.

I don’t work for them, I’m not part of their campaign, but I’m trying to spread awareness. I would be very grateful if you could post this ask so your followers would have easy access to the information in one place + be made aware of Sherman’s policies.

Thank you for your time.

Coincidentally they're live on TikTok right now (1:22 am est July 23) playing the sims & will be live until 3am

If you're queer or a feminist or support human rights you might wanna pay attention to this potential president.

[quitepossiblytall]

I’m not voting 3rd party because America’s 3rd party choices are trash. On the merits, they are just not a good choice and I wouldn’t trust any of them to be a better president the Joe Biden.

1)They have not made it on the ballot in enough states to actually win the election. Williamson fully lost the democratic primary to Joe Biden. The people have already spoken.

2) Cornel West is a political hack who is being used by the republicans to syphon votes from Biden. He’s mismanaging his campaign - he spent more money on graphic design than petitions to get on the ballot. He supports republican education policies (google Classic Learning Test. A conservative backed replacement to the ACT and SAT that focuses on “western literature”. It’s supported by DeSantis, if that is any indication of quality).

3) Jill Stein is a millionaire who larps as a activist, while actively lying about the Biden administration and generating wealth (she’s worth 7 million dollars and inherited half a million from her parents) from the very industries she claims to be against (big banks, big oil, military industry, big pharma).

5) Neither Jill Stein nor Cornel West are truly anti-genocide. They’re pro-Putin. Meaning they would allow the genocide of Ukrainians to continue. West wants to fully dismantle NATO, which would put former USSR countries like Estonia, Poland, Latvia, and Lithuania in danger of Russian aggression without NATO protection. Both are a threat to the sovereignty of former Soviet Union countries.

6) All of our presidential candidates this year, aside from Jasmine Sherman are 70+. So, if Biden is too old, so are all of them.

7) Marianne Williamson, one time spiritual advisor to Oprah Winfrey, lost to Biden in the primary. People didn’t vote for her in the primary - full stop. She’s a wacko, who describes AIDS as “angels in Darth Vader suits”. She’s a pseudoscience pedaler and an anti-vaxxer (long before COVID-19), excuse me a “safe-vaxxer”, who once tweeted that the “power of the mind” could save people in the path of hurricanes. She is wrong about both mental and physical health (because pseudoscience), calling clinical depression “a scam”.

[beepboopiloveyou]

Just a reminder that Jill Stein is a Putin puppet and anyone advocating for her is either a Russian troll or a delusional Russiaboo communist.

She's literally here to split the vote. She did it successfully in Trump v. Clinton. She can do it again. Don't let Trump win with the same tactic AGAIN.

[alwayswiselight]

The Fascist and corporate owned Democrats, not to mention Republicans, are trying to stop this momentum. They're scared and rightfully so! The Stein & Ware campaign is the only anti-genocide one that has a chance to win the White House. I've come into contact with young Americans online and in person who demand change. And though I'm an old guy, I'm with them 100%.

[oceans-beloved]

Meme dump yayyy🥳✨️

(off to make more now muhahaha >:3)

[madamepestilence]

there is something horrendously frustrating about the fact that people understand the concept of, "vote with your wallet," and supporting the BDS movement to take your business away from companies funding a genocide but then you bring up third party alternatives to biden and they cry spoiled election as though it's not something heavily exaggerated to discourage people from voting

[cometrose]

the supreme court is so comically evil like you really have to vote blue across the board they made it legal to criminalize homelessness, overturned chevron which means the extremely conservative courts get to override health officials and environmental regulations

like infant mortality has increased by 8% in some states post roe, they will avoid the trump immunity case as long as possible, they essentially shielded all the jan 6 rioters

if biden loses we could be stuck with 6-3 or 7-2 extremely conservative judges for decades!!! that could mean 40 years of social rights regulations and health codes thrown out the door!!! look how much we’ve lost in 8 years?

and what about pack the courts? you can’t pack the courts with this split congress you can’t pass roe laws with this split congress you really have to vote blue all the way

[thetwistedarchives]

If you want a competent US president, one that cares about the people and not money, vote for Jasmine Sherman.

[shinyasahalo]

People accuse the Jill Stein voters of "bringing back Trump" and "not thinking of the long game," and "stick to local elections."

For Palestinians and people of color in the US, nothing will change no matter if there's an R or a D as president. There will still be genocide, homelessness, and cop cities. So instead of being a privileged white doomer who can ignore those things, I'm going to fight like hell for the candidate is not a capitalist imperialist oligarchy. I've especially have seen white LGBTQ people say they will vote for Harris even though they don't like her. They need to be asking themselves why no BIPOC queers are voting for Harris. Unlike the first time I lived through Trump, I now know how to fight back against him, and the White Christian Nationalists.

The Republicans are bad, but they do not gaslight marginalized people the way Democrats do. The methods they are using to kick third parties off the ballot is straight up criminal and authoritarian.

Supporting a leftist third party is a long game strategy. Do you really think that my hatred for the Democratic party is only going to last one election cycle? I want to see a true leftist party in the US. I want to see both the Green Party and the Party of Socialism and Liberation grow, and we can have an American Leftist Coalition.

"Stick to local elections." No! That is exactly what the Democrats want us to do. A presidential election brings focus to the party, which leads to support in local elections.

[vintageseawitch]

i see no lie here. at this point i have no faith in the Green Party. they're all vibes & no substance. they count on leftists & their need for "political purity" & their "principles" to divide them up.

the Green Party sounds great on paper... but they only ever appear like an election cicadas during the presidential election. they never run at local or state levels. they know they will never win. at this point since Republicans are more united than Democrats, it's quite clear that the Green Party isn't there to make sure Republicans lose... it's to make sure DEMOCRATS lose.

your "protest" vote isn't saving shit except maybe giving your ego a pat on the back. you could literally be helping the greater evil to win. do you think anyone will want to take you seriously should Project 2025 be implemented? oh, you sure showed those Democrats! please live in the real world & maybe do a little crash course on American civics to understand how our government works. y'all love theory. but I digress.

please don't stop talking about Project 2025 or Agenda 47. they're the same thing & the reason trump never talks policybis because Project 2025 IS his policy. check your registration status often & vote early if you can. Republicans & other non-Democrats who have decided to vote for Harris - welcome! we got this 💙

[nothinghappned]

fascinating to follow the journey of dongsik realizing just how messed up juwon is and then proceeding to never use this fact against juwon despite how juwon have been accusing him of being a serial killer and generally saying the cruelest thing to him since day one

he was like "oh okay... well look at that he definitely has some issues... now he's hyperventilating.. again... oh he's really messed up fr... okay let's gently bring up this subject so he doesn't get too messed up by the mention of it... screw all of this, here's the new plan: protect han juwon! make sure he doesn't get ruined like me!"

“Is Stein a fellow traveler or a useful idiot?” Watts asked rhetorically. “I don’t know, but even after the election she played into Russia disinformation by pursuing a recount so heavily and claiming election fraud. This was a post-election coup for Kremlin propagandists.” - Robert Windrem

[jakeperalta]

hello england mutuals I hope we are all voting in our local elections today!! last one before the general! you can check here for details on who/what/where! don't forget photo id!!

[benjaminallhope-fulltimemind]

Okay now this is clearly an attempt by Trump to distance himself from Project 2025 given it's so radical it puts off moderate voters and encourages people to go out and vote, not only that Project 2025 has insane authoritarian proposals that clearly shows the GOP as a threat to democracy. That's why Democrats need to hammer Republicans on this issue and spread awareness, it's something they want avoid otherwise Trump wouldn't disavow the Heritage Project. Spread the word and make sure your community knows about the dark future Republicans want for America, those traitors only hold loyalty to God and their own race nothing more! Let's not mince words the Republicans are authoritarian and wish to erode American democracy, we must save America and our melting pot of democracy!

Hello, I hope it's ok to ask:

How would Mirage react to the Autobots, that are on Earth for the first time, acting condescending toward Noah because he is an organic? Cybertron didn't like organics much to the point of their own version of racism.

Would Mirage be sad, protective, uncomfortable or just plain start to fight them for Noah's honor?

its always ok to ask! :v ❤️

idk if it is "in character" for him but in my humble opinion i think mirage would 100% ready to throw down for his boy. or atleast i would like to see it lol
