If you'll take time to read things for the first time in your incredibly short 'life' you might notice this post has nothing to do with greens nor Republicans nor democrats.
Same third party "let's get Republicans elected" vibe, two weeks before an election that decides if a Fascist gets elected.
Sure would be cool if the party supposedly "opposing fascism" could oppose genocide "two weeks before an election that decides if a fascist gets elected".
Oh bother, I'm starting to have a real bad feeling about whether or not the fascism is already here.
Ah, the old, "Democrats aren't doing enough to stop this, so let's help elect the Republicans who will make things so much worse"
Because you just don't believe in the Spoiler Effect.
"Aren't doing enough to stop this"? Dude, they're causing the bad things right now. They're the ones giving bombs to Israel, a missile defense system and sending boots on the ground, attacking Yemen, meeting up with Israel to help them organize attacks against Iran and Lebanon with our intelligence. It's not even like they're not doing enough to stop bad things from happening, they're actively encouraging it.
I know, it's maddening. But thanks to how elections work, you have exactly two options. And they are not the same.
If you think that Biden's policy is bad, just look at what Trump has planned.
He's likely to order the US military to help in the genocide. And since Arabs have not had the best public image in the US in the last 20 some years...
There's a chance the military would do it.
With that as the other option, the current diplomatic talks are far better.
Now, here's why promoting some also-ran jack off is a bad idea. Your also-ran cannot win. It's literally impossible. They can only siphon off votes from the left, and that means that Trump wins and everyone learns again that when a madman tells you what he'll do, you should believe him.
