oh heres a new name for my blocklist
I dunno about this shit I'm probably just voting PSL.
Why should she? Her party represents different interests to the Democratic party. In a fair and just democracy she should be allowed to run for office to represent that platform. If the Democrats have an issue with that, then they should adopt some of those policies. For instance, one of her policies is an anti-genocide policy. This might seem a bit radical and extreme but it's apparently very popular. If the Democratic party stopped being pro-genocide then there would be less threat from Stein.
People really need to stop acting like the Green Party just came about in the last decade to spite the Democrats. If the Democrats had a decent platform they'd stop losing votes to them.

Deep down I think Liberals know this. That's why they rage over it more every general election.
Addiitionally I find that Democrat supporters ignore the flipside of ridding the country of minor parties. The logic suggests that the Republican party would get an even larger boost of voters from the Libertarians. -That is if their reasoning were sound and applied universally.
Yeah in any other parliamentary system Trump would have formed his own party and random independents wouldn't get anywhere near a major party's presidential nomination. It would be completely locked down by party establishment figures. There would be a number of other conservative and fascist parties "splitting" the vote as well.

it saddens me greatly that the question of genocide in this overton window is not whether or not genocide should exist; but instead the question is how much genocide is acceptable and the only incorrect answer is "zero".
it makes me sadder still that social media is dominated by manufactured consent so thoroughly that pointing something like "genocide is bad" only brands you a radical; a malcontent; too idealistically optimistic; or simply ignored.
It's because "the overton window" is liberal nonsense. Genocide has always been acceptable to the liberal ideological hegemony. It only ceases to be acceptable when it's an enemy that does it.

Don't you understand? You have to vote against Trump because he's a threat to democracy. This is proven by Dick Cheney and W becoming democrats. Now you may say "didn't I have to vote against W and Cheney because they were a threat to democracy for a decade?" To which I say, why do you hate our freedoms?
There was a failed coup.
Even the assholes who brought us here are going 'oh shit, this is bad, actually,' and your dumb ass wants to pretend that means it's all fine and good. Like if they walked over a bridge you'd jump off.
You’re either with us or you’re with the terrorists
The way you phrased that made it sound like political rhetoric and fears about the end of democracy are at least partially self serving to further the interests of one political party, and that the truth of their claims may be exaggerated. Now that we know you hate America, and are a dangerous threat to democracy if not outright treasonous, fascist, communist, and a bot also, who is paying you? Thanks in advance for responding.

Of course, boy do i feel silly...
10/10 satire. Really felt like I was on reddit in 2016 when Dems and Republicans became one indistinguishable mass.
