Jill Stein is a bad actor in this election, she understands how the electoral college works and she understands she’s weakening the democratic party position. But let’s not blame shift - the Democrats could be much better on climate change then they are today and if they were better Stein’s BS wouldn’t have such an easy time attracting voters. I dislike the title posing it as “Stein may hand Trump the whitehouse again.”
Even if the argument about getting X% of votes was true, the states to campaign heavy in would be the deep blue/red states. Especially since they tend to get ignored by candidates.
Instead she sticks to the states where <30k votes could decide the election and the market is saturated with the most expensive ad costs

Agreed. If a third party pulls off a major change in one of these states, it’s still likely to go for it’s color regardless so the presidential outcome is not affected, but it’d force the relevant parties to examine why the third party was able to make such huge inroads and what of their own policies that they should change.
It’s blantantly obvious what’s she’s doing.
But for posterity I’ll state it; she’s spoiling for a GOP win.
It wasn’t giant on my end, it looked like 2 thumbnails that broke apart into a 2 mile long post that couldn’t be scrolled, so I deleted it. And then your response appeared.
Eh, it’s possible to configure an instance to not pull down images but just link to the source. I speak from personal experience here.
Also, the commenter is wrong about deletion - I’ve seen my own instance deleting images because a request to do so got federated in. (Again, speaking from personal experience.)
“Once noble party” - ffs.

I think you replied to the wrong person. And I’m not sure why you had to include a giant screenshot
Every instance that federates now has to host that. If everyone was this inconsiderate of server space the federverse couldn’t exist.

It’s now posted three times as a parent comment to the thread…
And the way deletion works on federated instance none of them are likely to be removed…
So now 4 copies are taking up space on every instance federated with .world, it adds up
TIL

Without 3rd party options we still wouldn’t vote for people that don’t represent us.
The only person who would represent me is myself, and I wouldn’t vote for myself because I don’t want that shitty job
Why aren’t you so noisy during primaries?
Oh that’s right, your true intentions are masked by bullshit.
You must be new around here
