    I voted Stein in Georgia. My vote never belonged to Harris, so me not voting for her has taken nothing away.

    Maybe stop assuming people will vote for candidates, and start earning those votes.

      I’d vote for Stein if she were to made even the smallest effort to earn it. But cozying up to genocidal dictators and not doing jack shit three out of every four years isn’t going to net her any support from me.

      Personally, I’d rather vote for someone that may not be perfect, but at least can show their work.

        Genocidal dictators like Netanyahu are acceptable?

        I wanted to vote for De La Cruz, but Dems sued her off of the ballot in my state. That cost them my down ballot support, too.

              She has no policies. I’ll ask again. What has she DONE.

              LIKE, what action has she made that has done anything to earn your vote, besides stating she will do things she has no clear path to realistically be able to do?

                You can see her policies on her website: https://votesocialist2024.com/

                I love how y’all say De La Cruz doesn’t have a proven record, and shouldn’t be supported based on her promises. But when I point to Harris’ record, I’m supposed to believe her promises.

                Pick one, and be consistent.

                  Having policy, doesn’t mean what you think it means. I have policy. Why not vote for me? I can make a website and say anything I feel you are wanting to hear. And ant the end of the day, I’m every bit as effective as la Cruz is with regards to reliably getting things done politically.

                  She’s done absolutely nothing at all to instill any trust whatsoever in her ability to govern. She has zero experience in the field. And by the way, do you remember who else was lauded for “not being a career politician?” Because I do.

                  Additionally- she’s been absent from any policy making or political influence, and has no track record of doing anything meaningful for anyone on a political level-

                  Therefore she has not doing anything to earn a single vote. Now, thanks for the discussion- but I’m not going to argue about this.
