An inconvenient truth for Jill Stein, the Green Party protest candidate for president, is that there are only two candidates who can win the presidency on Nov. 5, and she isn’t one of them.

The other inconvenient truth for her and her avowed progressive supporters is that every protest vote from the left against Vice President Kamala Harris is a vote for former President Donald Trump.

    Basically every single one prior to 2016. If you’re too young to remember those, then you’re operating on a window of time that’s too small.

    You’re definitely a white man to believe anything was better for average black Americans and women.

    Civility was still part of politics.

    In the 60-80s when political violence and assassination was rampant?? What is your age exactly? *Obama didn’t experience rampant racism in his run and tenure?

    It isn’t,

    Pretty big flip flop, but I appreciate your admission nonetheless. It’s too difficult to take you seriously given the circumstances of your wildly ignorant framework of understanding.

      I love how you gloss over the biggest part of my reply. Thanks for taking the mask off. This is a big tell for you guys. Drop to racial division, ignore voting as an important tool for changing things. It’s always racial division; I guess that’s in part of your guidebook on how to sew division. Every single one of you operatives jump to that no matter how the discussion is going.

      Nothing that you’ve said gives anyone any reason why they shouldn’t vote for Kamala. Racism against Obama? I’m a white man? Sounds like a perfect reason to vote Kamala. Thanks for playing, psyop.

        You ignored every point I made yet you feel entitled to me spoon feeding you more answers. How privileged was your upbringing?

        Keep your mask and hood on as you argue for making America great again.

          Because yes, the person telling you to vote for Kamala is a Trump supporter that totally makes sense. And the person telling you not to vote is…doing what exactly?

          Certainly not attempting to help.

          Mods, this one is a troll - their mask is clearly off at this point.

            I appreciate you sharing your feelings of privileged entitlement to “help” from people that you insult.

            Certainly not attempting to help.

            Not everyone is capable of comprehending nuanced and complex ideas. Simple minds demand simplistic solutions to complex problems.

              from people that you insult.

              This is another tell. The “become the victim”. If you’ve noticed, I’ve been awfully careful not to insult you anywhere…but you didn’t pick up on that. :)

              You are absolutely going by-the-book here…

                This is you trying awfully hard?

                you’re too young to remember

                When you named-called* me a troll and attacked my imagined age which is arbitrarily lower than sufficient to think critically about my words?

                Are you too young to remember making this about me instead of your dear leader Harris?

                  Awww, trying to change context by leaving out the whole quote! How cute.

                  If you’re too young to remember

                  Is the quote. Thanks for playing.

                    You think old people have better memory than young people?

                    Your hero Biden is known for his cognitive abilities right?
