“Federal Election Commission records show Stein paid $100,000 in July to a consulting outfit that has worked with Republican campaigns, as well as Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s independent presidential bid. The firm, Accelevate, is operated by Trent Pool. The Intercept reported that he appeared to be part of the mob that breached the grounds of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6., 2021. The Journal hasn’t independently verified the reporting.”

    No you see they have a plan.

    1. Convince people likely to vote for Harris to throw away their votes by voting 3rd party or staying home
    2. Suppress democratic turnout while leaving Republican turnout untouched.
    3. Spoil the election while haughtily going “oh not voting is a vote for trump somehow” and snorting to themselves. Completely blind to context.
    4. Have the things they claim to really super duper care about like genocide in Palestine continue under trump
    5. Also have vulnerable groups in America, like legal Haitian migrants, be the target of Republican vitriol.
    6. (step missing)
    7. Glorious proletariat revolution against the most powerful military and militarized police force to ever exist

    Its brilliance is in its simplicity!

      I’m much more interested in your plan than whatever strawman you can make up about the voters whom Democrats have left on the table for objecting to the genocide they want to fund.

        That’s not how evaluating a plan works.

        Here, I’ve got a cure for cancer, shove pinecones up your ass.

        You can determine that this plan is bad without having to have a cure for cancer.

        Focus on getting progressives into local and state offices so they can build experience necessary to successfully run for federal office. Vote lesser evil for president in the meantime to buy time for progressive to get that experience. In 10-15 years of diligent efforts we can get progressives into probably about a 1/3 of our congressional seats. At that point, a progressive presidential candidate with congressional experience stands an actual chance of winning the presidency, and will have the legislative support to actually accomplish their policy goals when they get there.
