She's great! Just nervous that if I don't vote dem, republicans will end up in office. I wish our party system wasn't so trash.

Love her <3

All for basic human rights & the environment. She's a physician too! She understands the healthcare system more than most.

I wish I could be confident more of us would vote third party, it's tough how much of a struggle it is to have your voice heard under this system.

I've been looking up a lot of information about the poor aspects of our voting system. It's so broken right now that even though a big majority of our population aligned with third party candidates, they fear hopelessness for the candidate they must align with. Break from the mold! Vote for who you want to.

This is not the answer. No matter how much I would love to live and vote in a system that can support more than two parties, we first have to change the way we count and allocate our votes. This is a project I'm more than happy to fully support for three years at a time but in an election year we need to vote within the system we have not the one we wish we had.

Duverger's Law + Intent

This is exactly what will happen. Her team even knows it. Her only purpose on the ballot is to pull votes from Kamala at this point. As much as I used to love and respect her, I've lost it all now. She is literally campaigning for Trump at this point. Even if it wasn't her explicit intent, any vote that isn't blue is red until we change the way we count our votes.

She has so much connecting her to Russia. She has tons of pictures with Russian officials like Putin. She also changes her policies every 4 years just to appeal to what people like. She has also never won an election. She is supported by Russian Twitter Bots as an attempt to shift votes away from the Democratic Party. I urge you not to vote for her and vote blue instead. Not exactly the same but closer than getting red.

 @9T6KD2C from Tennessee  disagreed…2yrs2Y

The Senate Intelligence Committee investigated the charge that Jill Stein has "Russian connections" for three years, and found no evidence to support the claim. There is one picture, not "tons of pictures," showing her sitting at the same table with Putin at a gathering of public figures from all over the world. Putin sat there for five minutes before he got up to make a speech welcoming the crowd. He and Dr. Stein did not converse, since she speaks no Russian and he speaks no English. When she had a brief meeting with him later in her one and only trip to Moscow, she urge…  Read more

I'm glad I'm not the only person who thinks this.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
