An inconvenient truth for Jill Stein, the Green Party protest candidate for president, is that there are only two candidates who can win the presidency on Nov. 5, and she isn’t one of them.

The other inconvenient truth for her and her avowed progressive supporters is that every protest vote from the left against Vice President Kamala Harris is a vote for former President Donald Trump.

    Look, if you don’t vote because you genuinely can’t see a difference between Trump “rapist, multiple felonies, ‘dictator on day one’, ‘I wish I had generals like Hitler’” and Harris “I don’t like all of her policies”, then you are a danger to yourself and others.

    Normally in an election there is nuance. Not this time. Are you going to actively vote against the fascist, or not? That’s all there is to it.

      i agree with that framing for sure. But normally there is nuance? I have been voting for a long time and they have always been framed as life or death. There is no room for nuance in American politics, never has been. It’s by design.
