“The election has already started. Absentee ballots have been sent. We need to catch up rapidly. We need everyone here to get active. We need to be clear about what our goals are. We are not in a position to win the White House, but we do have a real opportunity to win something historic, we could deny Kamala Harris the state of Michigan. And the polls show that most likely Harris cannot win the election without Michigan.”

Former Seattle City Council member and prominent Indian-American political activist Kshama Sawant made that clear at a recent event. Sawanta is against the Democratic and Republican parties, and she’s the founder of Workers Strike Back, which opposes the war in Gaza and calls for a ceasefire.

She spoke at a Stein campaign rally right before introducing Stein.

    According to the modlog someone else (admittedly a slightly trollous user) posted this with the title “Jill Stein ally says the Greens’ strategy is about making Harris lose the presidency” and got banned for it based on rule 1. I thought removal was reasonable but apparently the rule says “If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive.” Could someone clarify how the alterations to the title didn’t make it more descriptive?

    I only know this because I was searching for certain keywords and stumbled upon comments in the deleted thread.
