US elections: European Greens call for Jill Stein to step down
European Greens bring together national parties that share the same Green values, and who are active across the entire European continent - both within the European Union and beyond. We are striving for a Green transformation of Europe and its economy that will bring about a progressive and sustaina...
Here's the problem: Trump is out to maximize environmental damage and the US Green Party runs as spoilers. Let's look at three scenarios:
Scenario 1:
Harris: 1001 votes
Trump: 1000 votes
Stein: 0 votes
Harris wins
Scenario 2:
Harris: 1000 votes
Trump: 1000 votes
Stein: 1 vote
Tied vote, which goes to the courts and Congress, putting Trump in power
Scenario 3:
Harris: 999 votes
Trump: 1000 votes
Stein: 2 votes
Trump wins outright
This spoiler effect makes it really imperative to actively vote for Harris if you want to see any kind of climate action going forward. Republicans know this, which is why they're the ones funding the Green Party.
And that's why the European Greens want Jill Stein to step down now — they get that what she's doing is making it easier to elect a fascist bent on environmental destruction.
You're viewing part of a thread.
So we're at the finish line with two choices, and you're gonna double down that there's a third option people haven't considered?
Did I get that right?
The world is at the finish line and there a thousand things you can do to fight the climate cause. Climate activists are blocking roads they are not advocating for the parties who are responsible for the climate crisis.
They're recognizing that a first-past-the-post system gives us effectively a choice between two candidates, and are choosing to support the one willing to do more. This is what the Biden/Harris administration got us:
Just look index@sh.itjust.works post history. It is not worth it.
It's worth it to call out shills so they can't spew their bullshit uncontested. This isn't reddit where a barrage of downvotes hides them. They need active pushback.
Go ahead and point out what's bad about any of the posts i ever made. I always post in good faith, i do not advocate for evil, war or any corrupted government or politician. I wonder if the same could be say about you.
If we look at the chart the emissions are pretty much as high as they were in 1990, they even went up in the past few years. They could drop these in a day by banning billionares commodities. There's a reason why climate activists aren't advocating for the current ruling parties.
I agree that climate change is a global problem, but letting the one candidate who said "drill baby, drill," got $75mil investments from Big Oil, has indicated he'd be a dictator, and has explicitly called climate change a hoax—we can just let him win, because surely he won't put the boot upon the climate activists and suppress any effort to do anything meaningful about the climate?
Is that your plan? Because I fail to see how electing Donald Trump will give you the status quo you're assuming you'll have to be able to effect any sort of climate agenda.
Do all those activist things, but don't be so gullible or naive to think that the judges the president will pick, the Congresspersons and lobbying interests they choose to listen to, the people they appoint to their cabinet, and countries they do business with are tantamount to nothing.
Unless you sincerely think that stuff is tantamount to nothing compared to protests, in which case, I wish I could be that privileged and divorced from reality.

Climate activists are already being beaten and arrested pretty much all around the world.
So, not going to answer the questions I asked you and just pretend it's going to be exactly the same under both candidates?
Is that your strategy? Are you a troll?
Yes, they are a troll.
you sound like a malicious ignorant
Yep, that's me.
Or a non-US psyop agent, or a GOP supporter
I'm pointing out the government is shit. Of course i must be a psyop agent from the "enemy". Our government is the best in the world and never do anything wrong.
must be a psyop agent from the "enemy".
You might be.
I'm pointing out the government is shit
Nobody is claiming it doesn't have problems. If you haven't been paying attention, there are things that non-MAGA wants to change about it.
Our government is the best in the world
As we constantly complain about citizens United, electoral college, first past the post elections, car dependant infrastructure, and the list goes on.
What is exactly your question?
My "strategy" aka the right thing to do is to not endorse or advocate for criminals. Simple as that

If you can't be bothered to read and engage seriously, then you're a troll, whether intentionally or unwittingly. I'm not going to go read for you.
Have a day, and maybe learn some reading comprehension skills.
I only vote for criminals. fuck the law
You're advocating for trump so yeah so no one believes this
