Or just hear me out, the green party stops playing spoiler every 4 years. Proving that their platform is meaningless and empty. And instead focuses on running and recruiting for state and local legislature to actually pass ranked Choice voting. And where it makes sense, such as offices no Democrat is running for. Recruit and endorsed a candidate to run as the combined democrat/green party candidate. Instead of constantly splitting the vote helping conservatives and the bourgeoisie.

The ambiguity is ironically a good sign. That she isn’t outright committed to the status quo. But rather not willing to signal her actual position. If she came out strongly against Israel and for Palestine. Unfortunately that would be a large hindrance to her candidacy in the current climate.

It’s a shame that those illegally occupying Palestine have such influence over our government. Especially after their terrorist attacks of the last few days. Not to mention the decades long slow genocide that’s only accelerated in the last year.

Some? Yes. Far too many? Absolutely. All? Not even close. Most current Teamsters were still in grade school and kindergarten when Reagan broke the unions. As a group they’ve been through 40 plus years of mergers, consolidation, and closures. And are now facing down what looks like an inevitable Extinction in the face of automation. Yes the Republicans engineered it. Democrats of last 40 years helping every step of the way.

It’s still mental for them to be supporting republicans. But no one is offering them any salvation at all. Ultimately what’s more natural in the face of creeping capitalist Extinction then nihilism?

You get what you give. If you don’t like it. You’re free to behave differently.

Anyone using the term “blue maga” in any capacity other than to call out and ridicule those using it seriously. Are either dishonest, trolling, and or uninformed. Worse if they do it hypocritically from a Leninist associated domain.

You can, and I do generally dislike liberals. But also be honest about them, and work with them where interests align. Which yes, even as someone ideologically libertarian/anarchist communist it definitely happens. Actually more often than my interests align with leninists. Who unironically and proudly just sentenced someone to more than a year in prison that over a fucking shirt because of course that brain rotted ideology would.

If they were a serious political party. But that would require you to believe that they are wildly incompetent and being supported for that incompetence. Rather than they’re doing this intentionally. Not seriously running to win or improve anything. But being a divisive spectacle to destroy solidarity on the left.

Not even libertarian. Just another uninformed delusional economic liberal. Who thinks just because we’ve tried something and was proven that it failed. Doesn’t somehow mean it won’t work if we just keep trying to do the same thing and failing over and over again

Libertarian at best. But lacking the intelligence and empathy to actually be libertarian.

Just in case anyone hasn’t seen it yet. Medhi Hasan is the GOAT and Stein is absolutely a dishonest fucking clown.

I’ve yet to meet a person on Lemmy that doesn’t want more candidates on the ballots. Especially in local/state elections.

Not wanting other people on the ballot, and being happy when bourgeoisie funded spoiler candidates for national elections. Like Stein, who do nothing for anyone but themselves. Fail to make it on a state’s ballot to divide the left. Are very different things.

The truly scary part of all this. Is that this endorsement is a black mark in the eyes of leftist, progressives Etc. And in the eyes of the monster the GOP created. It’s vindication. And confirmation of their beliefs. As these people who lied to them and use them now jump ship. It doesn’t matter that Trump is also lying to them and using them. He hasn’t abandoned them yet in terms of his rhetoric.

Well running a server and no longer interacting with a service can be two different things. From an organizational standpoint I could absolutely understand them not wanting or needing the expense of another service to maintain. Even for just their own use. As long as they still have accounts and post to the fediverse. I don’t see a big issue

Look at the Domain they’re posting from it will explain a lot.

The problem is that American Libertarians aren’t libertarian. They’re masquerading economic liberals.

The reason their government has failed and always will fail. Is because they are against government itself. All but the most dogmatic, ideological, and importantly antisocial anarchist and actual libertarians recognize the need for government and it’s existence. They just believe it should be largely flat, answerable, and as much as possible based in consent. Even national/federal goverment is acceptable depending on structure and ability.

American Libertarians only support government that protects their personal privilege. And nothing else.

And while it’s possible for any group to fail. No other group self sabotages so completely from the start.

He wasn’t even that. He was literally chosen to call the Republicans bluff when they said that Obama would never nominate someone like him even. Then Obama did.

It just turns out that it wasn’t a bluff. And the racists never had any intention of ever being sensible or normal. But I think that was pretty much obvious to anyone with a couple of brain cells.

Garland however, was never a leftist. He wasn’t even ever “progressive”. Let alone a Democrat. He was always a false neutrality, status quo droid. Plus, regardless of who was put in office. Republicans were always going to claim any consequences for their behavior was revenge. Even if it was revenge though. Why should we be concerned. Sometimes revenge and justice are the same thing. And justice shouldn’t be denied. Perhaps Republicans should stop giving people grounds for wanting revenge?

Seeing as Stein has no credibility herself it all evens out.

A cromulent lexical affixation.

She’s irrelevant. The only thing to discuss is why she keeps trying to divide the left and not actually accomplish anything.

No more so than the rest of the population.

I was giving you the undeserved benefit of the doubt. The fact you assume otherwise probably says more about your own behavior.

Just because someone has the basic ambulatory nature to pick a candidate. Does not mean they are informed or educated. It is there right regardless. But that doesn’t make it good or informed. And just as it is their right to do it. It’s everyone’s right to call out what a blunder it is.

On the nose. The ones screaming the loudest about Democrats supporting genocide. Or saying something stupid like blue Maga, trying to deflect from the fact that they themselves are the most maga like of any on the left. Culturally slave to Virtue signaling no matter how much it hurts them. Get an instant down vote.

If we’re going to send them a message. We should be running against them at the local level across the nation. Or better yet, coopting the party and make our candidate theirs. 3rd party presidential candidates are an exercise in pyrrhic self flagellation.
