Do you think all of those people who have been saying that third-party voters are going to destroy the US will be apologizing in the comment section here?

Always make both parties worried: threaten to vote for a third party to keep the main party on its toes. But vote for the main party on the actual day. This isn't a time for idealism.
Sure, if you're willing to take your actions to the streets and have a large following behind you, then by all means strike while the fire is hot.
But if you're not organised other than a vague internet presence, now is really not the time to fuck about.
Libs will still blame leftists like blue maga wants them to.
I won't believe a single poll until this election is over. There is so much incentive for misinformation out there it is unbearable. Just get out and vote.
I'm struggling really hard to see which voter is on the fence between Trump and Stein. Wouldn't it be more likely to be on the fence between Stein and Harris, or Stein and the couch?
People who don't like Trump but are too anti Democrat to vote Harris
One could still be pro Democrat or pro democracy, and still do not like Harris. Many things can be true at the same time.
Not as many people hate Harris specifically as hated Hillary, but a lot of people (for good and bad reasons) hate the Dems and also Kamala to some extent.
I think Trump draws a lot of broad support from his 'anti-establishment' rhetoric so it kinda makes sense for folks to look to other anti-establishment candidates as an alternative to him. There's a tendency to look down upon Trump voters as only right wingers, conspiracists etc and not really understand that a lot of his support is superficial and based on limited information.
In a way it's not so much that Stein or other left candidates are spoilers for the establishment Dems but more the case that figures like Trump are spoilers for progressive alternatives to the establishment.
Jill Stein is providing spite voters an option to not vote for Donald Trump.
Hillary took a lot of friendly fire in 2016 from the Bernie Bros who were not too happy.
Ranks 60 out 284 in Five Thirty-Eight's rankings. Not bad.
Worldnews@lemmy.world about to lose their minds with rage.
most don't pay attention; so they wouldn't notice.

Jill Stein releases a statement: "To be clear, I only want Kamala votes please! Only former Kamala voters!"
What about four-way race? Some states still have RFK on the ballot 🥴
In Illinois, we had RFK and no Jilly-bean.
Yep. Thought that was weird since he dropped out.
Yay!
