        Notable differences between Stein and Harris:

        • opposes genocide in Gaza
        • opposes fracking
        • stronger on the environment
        • approves of single payer healthcare
        • approves of tuition free colleges for all
        • wants to slash our bloated military budget

        I live in a blue state and will be voting Green to try to build momentum for third parties and STAR voting. I do hope Trump is defeated and thrown in jail, and I’d reconsider my vote if I lived in a purple state.

            Voting blue in a solid blue state for a candidate I have huge moral issues with (Palestine, climate change) is the definition of throwing my vote away.

            • You’re still throwing your vote away.

              Even if I accept that any state is really as solid blue as people may think, we have the opportunity as a nation to cast an overwhelming vote against fascism. That would be sending a message that the entire free world could be proud of. Nah, you can’t be bothered. You’d rather cast your vote for a Putin asset.

                I’m voting for the Green party, not a fascist.

                That would be sending a message that the entire free world could be proud of.

                The entirety of the United Nations except the US and Israel has condemned the massacre in Gaza as a genocide. You think everyone would be proud of voting for someone who intends to continue to ship weapons to Israel?

                You’d rather cast your vote for a Putin asset.

                No proof and regardless this is bigger than Jill Stein, this is about building power to the left of the Democratic party. Claudia De la Cruz would definitely be my preferred candidate over Stein, but it is what it is.
