marginalizing an accomplished academic and political activist as a lunatic is gross.

McCain was a Republican and Kerry is a Democrat. Of course they were viable!

they didn’t win. the label of “viable” is a myth.

Unless you are introducing a viable candidate

viability is a media myth. kerry was viable. mccain was viable.

You are actively supporting all the negative things about the candidate you agree with least by not voting for one of the two primary candidates.

that’s not what active support is.

People don’t upvote. You’re more likely to be criticized for a position than engaged with. Opinions that disagree with the hive mind are often quickly downvoted regardless of whether or not the position has validity.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-wing_terrorism

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_violence

edit:

this is only one metric, but i think it’s notable that there are about 80 references on the left wing page and approximately 3.5 times that many on the right wing page.

All she can do is pull votes from Democrats handing the election to Trump.

the ambiguity of this syntax is fun! the democrats are handing the election to trump, and jill stein is trying to pull votes from them!

Is she viable with our current first-past-the-post system

viability is a myth invented by the media. hilary was viable. john kerry.

no, she’s going to be on the ballot whether we have ranked choice or no.

Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

the analysis shows perot damaged Clinton’s margin of victory.

that isn’t part of how mussolini defined it.

The president enjoys no authority to assassinate anyone

obama thanks you for not remembering that time he assassinated a 16 year old american citizen.

you’re either aware of the problem and want to encourage people to vote third party while pretending not to know how the system works or you’re actually just ignorant to the issu

false dichotomy
