Description: A picture titled “Russian plants” in a 3 x 3 grid with one of the grid items being Jill Stein, the rest are flora.
It sucks that common mugwort is still illegal here in Indiana. Thankfully, there’s a dispensary about 30 minutes away in Illinois.
No one person, thing, or organization I regularly interact with has tried as hard as lemmy.world to convince me she is some kinda fucked up spoiler effect politics demon.
Maybe dems should actually try to make ranked choice voting happen for real, instead of lip service to the idea, if they want the people who prefer third parties to support them. And maybe dems should attempt to do anything at all to address the concerns of the third party voters, instead of just threatening them with trump some more. Just some ideas that might alleviate the problem more effectively than getting really mad at people on the internet.
Oh man! Making the russian flag out of her and using her hair as the white is golden!
Balsam & jade Russian plants? Where is Russia located in your opinion
I have no issues with bottom middle
Looks ai generated, so not too surprised it’s wrong
What’s with the focus on Jill Stein? Third parties aren’t relevant and the number of people who vote for them is far overshadowed by the number of people who don’t vote at all. There are better uses of time than this lame two minutes hate session.
Democrats don’t have a comprehensive worldview that can explain why they are so widely disliked and why so many people are apathetic/actively hostile towards America. Russiagate fills the gap in their understanding of the world by imagining that Vladimir Putin is a Great Man of History and that his perfidious scheming is responsible for all of the ills of America’s democratic system.
Russian shills + USA republicans began pushing propaganda for her in a big way after they couldn’t find a decent angle to effectively attack Harris like they did with Biden. Leave that propaganda unchecked and she will divert more than a few votes because propaganda works, so fortunately there is a lot of pushback in the other way.
Can’t speak for many of the rest, but jade plants are from southern Africa. I demand geophylogenetically accurate memes.
I sat on a stinging nettle a few years ago when I had a mostly outdoor job. Now I am an expert in identifying them.
Imagine the indigenous person hungry enough to figure that out.
I hate stinging nettles so much… They’re always the first to pop up in spring and ruin an otherwise nice walk in the forest.
As a plant watch, or whatever this is called, I can assure you that this chart will not help you recognised local flora.
US Greens are damned traitors to democracy itself.
You can tell they aren’t serious by the lack of local political effort they put in.

Posting a link to a handful of names on sporadic ballots across the US is a dumb person’s idea of what “serious electoral effort” is.
Son, I am disappoint.
Yes they are a much smaller political party, that doesnt mean theyre not putting in serious effort
I remember that green party candidate in AZ a few years back had more funding from Republicans lmao.
As in from Republican voters? Who cares? If politicians, then there might be some weird political games with that candidate.
But besides, that’s really your concern? Democrats get funding from billionaire imperialists and arms-dealing weapons-manufacturer death-mechants. Which have successfully lobbied for the expansion of militarism for decades which has proven incredibly profitable and is also destroying the planet faster than almost anything
Both duopoly parties get funding from the worst racketeers, liars, and murderers of the world; the richest most monstrous exploiters that exist. I’m not voting Green, I’m voting for Claudia De La Cruz for PSL — but taking swings against the greens who are one of the few taking anti-war stances vs these duopoly-of-imperialists who are unified in genocide and always have been unified in genocide, and are continuing to be unified in all of the worst policies including now Biden doing Trump’s border shutdown after deregulating and privatizing some of the concentration camps (a very Republican thing to do), just makes no sense.
The people who need this consent-manufacturing level of criticism of OP and a lot of comments are not the Greens or other 3rd parties; the people who are ruining the world and the country are not the Greens and other 3rd parties. Muslims have been coming out in support of the 3rd parties because the Greens and PSL and West’s party are the only ones not being actively evil. Democrats have no reason to not be actively evil and keep flying to the right if everyone’s going to vote for them no matter what because they’re "((barely) not the republicans).
They usually do.
What do you think a political party is?
If you think a political party (or “serious electoral/political effort”) is just “names on a few ballots,” there is no amount of crayons that someone can use to draw you a picture and get you up to speed.
Pick a candidate or GoTV organization to volunteer with for a while and come back after that experience.
Did do that, helped several greens get elected. The green party has more grassroots support than any dem pres candidate in history. You have billionaires, racist soccer moms, aipac, and no real humans on your side.

Do you have a source or was this bullshit pulled from your own ass?

The one guy running for a seat on the Arizona Corporation commission is the only one I saw running in the short of race where the Greens have a chance to affect change. Running for the federal House or Senate isn’t where they should be focusing their efforts until they build a base of support.
Why not run for the House? A seat has 750k-800k population and quite a few districts are much further left then US average. If a further left candidate would run its those seats, that would force the Democrats to move left.
Wish tumbleweed was on there, considering how it was used to undermine American farms.
You guys do realize that the whole world laughs at your inability to conceive proper left politics, right?
Image thinking Russia is left-wing.
Imagine thinking that leftism is a coherent ideology, instead of an arbitrary list of disparate and often-contradicting positions.
Edit: lmao stay mqd, tankies.
A) Jill Stein ≠ left politics B) “proper left politics” involves doing more than just running as a presidential candidate every 4 years funded by the political party in farthest opposition to your political agenda.
Alleged political agenda, just to make it crystal clear.
That’s because we have a Russian plant at the helm of the only, let’s be honest, sort-of-not-really viable third party in this country. We need an overhaul of our voting system to get out of this mess, like with RCV
Ohhh he’s proper left politics Jill stein poasting! He’s gonna dissennnnnnnttttttt
That’s ok we got all the money. Your country does what we tell it to, I’m betting.
Man those shareblue checks must be ridiculous this year.
RFK is still paying. If you do it right you can get Koch, Soros, and RFK!
