    Are you confusing the Green candidate, Jill Stein with Claudia De la Cruz, the PSL candidate?

    She does deserve praise for taking the correct stance regarding Gaza, but the general consensus of the Greens as a whole is that they’re useless because unlike PSL, they don’t organize between elections.

        She’s more anti Israel than quite literally every single member of the dem party.

            No, she’s not. I’m not sure when you people became indistinguishable from magats but man I hope some of you at least start to pretend to be normal like you guys almost did during Obama’s first run.

            What do you expect her to do? Try to tackle Netanyahu into the Irish Embassy so he can be arrested and set to the Hague?

              She could just have the police grab him. And, yes, hold him in jail until he gets a date for transfer to the Hague.

                She wants to stop the genocide in Gaza, making both the candidates look bad by openly opposing it pressures them to make their policy less dogshit. If winning was more important to democrats than genocide, they’d drop the genocide. Sadly, it seems they’d rather lose the election than stop the genocide.

                    How many politically-active people who would be campaigning for the dems right now got the shit beaten out of them by the cops instead?

                    Genocide matters to the politically active people who aren’t just reliable voters, but who even get other people to vote.

                    Hell the whole reason Biden had to drop out was that he was massively unpopular, the genocide contributed to this, and every dogshit position of Biden (or Trump in the case of immigration) that Kamala has openly endorsed has hurt her popularity.

      Of course they organize between elections. Just because the news doesn’t cover it doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. They have parties in local office doing work year round
