      Suggesting that Jill Stein is a “Russian stooge” dismisses legitimate political discourse and attempts to silence alternative viewpoints. It’s a tactic to coerce voters into conformity rather than encouraging healthy debate and democracy.

      In the end, I refuse to be intimidated into voting against my conscience.

      Voting for the candidate who best represents my beliefs is not just a right—it’s a responsibility.

      Democracy thrives on diversity of thought, and I will continue to exercise my right to vote for the candidate who truly speaks for me, regardless of the fearmongering that often comes from the two-party system.

        In the end it sure looks like you’re just keeping your head in the sand because you think you’re not crazy, everyone else saying you are is crazy.

          I’d prefer to keep comments directly related to the content of the article. I’ve made myself clear where I stand. Thank you for supporting my right to vote for who I want to, even if you don’t like that person!

        That’s super my guy. Just tell me one thing.

        How does Jill get to 270 electoral votes? Oh that’s right she can’t. You’re only helping trump by voting for Jill.

        Look up “beginning game theory first past the post” and you’ll realize why.

          You’re only helping trump by voting for Jill.

          Throughout American history, third parties have played a crucial role in shaping political discourse and pushing important issues into the spotlight.

          The abolition of slavery, women’s suffrage, and labor rights were all advanced by third parties before being adopted by the major parties.

          By voting for Jill Stein and the Green Party, I am supporting a platform that aligns with my values, particularly on issues like environmental sustainability, social justice, and democratic reform.

          The notion that a vote for a third party “dilutes” the vote is rooted in a fear-driven mentality rather than in democratic principles.

          I choose to vote for the candiate who best represents my beliefs. It’s not just my right—it’s my responsibility.

          I respect, and support, your right to vote for who you want to.

          And you respect and support my right as an American citizen to vote for who I want to, correct?

          I am fine with you not agreeing with who I am voting for. You totally have the right to your own opinion. As i do mine.

          Then you can vote for him. But I won’t.

          Hey I made some posts earlier that some people on here forgot to go downvote. So I’m gonna wait for them to catch up. Seems I have a few angry fans, and I’ve had some sad blow ups, so I’m trying to let things calm down, before I go and reply to everyone.

          I know you would never just follow me around, and go into every community I have started and downvote and make comments that would have to be removed and banned.

          Thank you for your support!

            I don’t know what you’re taking about but that feels like a ad hominem and definitely is considered a personal attack.

            Would you like to continue to personally attack me or continue this conversation in a more civil manner?

              So you’re saying that you’re not downvoting every post I make? That’s awesome!!! See how much easier it is to be friends rather than enemies!?

              I’m glad we’re cool after I mistakenly thought you were accusing me being a forum slider, or an election spoiler! Thank you!

              I’m glad you like cornel west, so of course I support your voting for him. Just as you support me voting for Jill Stein.

              I’m not a fan of his, but it sounds like you may be, and that’s OK.

              I support your right to vote for whoever you want, friend.

              And please, let’s keep our comments civil. Thank you!

                I’m trying to have an on topic conversation here which you are continuing to try to derail with ad hominem and personal attacks after I asked you nicely to stop and have a civil conversation.

                I’m glad we’re cool after your recent baseless accusations of me being a forum slider! Thank you!

                I think you have me confused for someone else, but in case you’re not can you show me the offending comment please?

                  I’m not trying to derail anything. I totally support you if you want to vote Cornel West. As you support me voting for Jill Stein!

                  I think you have me confused for someone else, but in case you’re not can you show me the offending comment please?

                  You ARE correct. I did confuse you for the person who is stalking me and going into my subs, and downvoting everything. No way that could be you! You like me!

                  You’d never do that!

                  I’ve corrected my comments. Thank you for catching that!

                  I feel certain that you totally support my right for voting for 3rd parties, now. Thank you!!

                  And please, let’s keep our comments civil.

    What state or congressional candidates are the greens running this year? Seems like you only ever hear about Stein the last 3 elections, did they even campaign for mid terms?

    I’m not a fan of the libertarian party but they seem to at least have the right idea with focusing on local and state elections in places where they can actually win.

    The Nevada State Democratic Party filed a lawsuit in June accusing the Greens of failing to gather the required number of signatures

    This is why I don’t like calling them the Democratic Party. They do such undemocratic things.

      Agreed. They definitely don’t do very “democratic” things and are happy to team up with the republicans if it means the two parties stay in power.

      And not only that, but The Green Party of Nevada had turned in nearly 30,000 signatures for ballot access – far more than the required 10,000. And that’s why the Green Party won the lawsuit.
