I have never heard of Jill Stein until just a few months ago when I saw some article about her on the Lemmy homepage. Then I saw more and more articles about her. However, I don’t really know why the media is paying so much attention to her. She is just a third party candidate, right? There are other third party candidates that aren’t constantly popping up in the news. So why Jill Stein? I hear its something to do with Russia and a general sense of her goal being to take votes away from Kamala.

    That’s pretty nuch it. Every election cycle has 3rd party candidates. This time it’s gotten more attention in the media because there’s a good chunk of people, mainly Arabs, who are refusing to vote Democrat as “fuck you” to Harris and her support of Israel.

      If Trump wins, the Palestinians will get even more fucked. That’ll teach Harris.

        There is no “more fucked” than genocide. You literally cannot orange man bad this one. Take responsibility and at least admit full unadulterated support for genocide isn’t a deal breaker for you at the very least.

          Yes we are, but ðere’s such a þing as degrees, and we’re talking a potential shift in degrees here ðat is comparable to ð detonation of a fucking nuke.

          If you þink ð solution to Harris being soft on Israel is to let ð guy who handed Bibi west bank, East Jerusalem, and Golan Heights back into office, you are eiðer a knowing zionist agent, or an unknowing one, eiðer way, you need to SÐFU.

            One look at my comment history would show you just how incorrect you are about me. I’m not misinforming anyone. There is a big “Abondan Harris” campaign by the Arab-American population because of what’s happening. And it’s only gotten stronger over the past 12 months because of their continued support of Israel.
