        That person is indeed dumb, Jill Stein is (AFAIK) a well intentioned politician who wants to pressure both major political parties to be more environmentally aware - this is a noble act and she deserves praise for bringing more awareness of the environment to the national stage… but voting for her is dumb and AOC has had a much larger impact on pushing environmental policies than Stein has.

            Most elections aren’t for the executive and down ballot elections, especially local elections, are extremely important. Additionally, if Jill Stein was primarying Biden it’d be extremely reasonable to vote for her there - I am really happy to uncommitted campaign happened and the results have clearly influenced Biden.

            When it comes to the general election though the scenario is different.

                I disagree. If Trump is elected we’ll see a further erosion of women’s health care access. In my opinion it’s immoral not to vote for Joe Biden because thousands of women will die if Trump wins.

                If your pride is worth those lives then you’re fucking delusional.

                  it’s not about my pride, but if you found me suggesting it was, you’re fucking delusional.

                  it’s about doing the right thing. it is wrong to vote for joe biden.

                    It is incorrect to think that Biden is the best person to be president - but our electoral system is what it is and Biden is a clearly better choice than Trump.

                    As I said earlier it’s A or B and one of those choices is fucking disastrous.
