this is great video but so very frustrating to watch.

Especially the folks who want to blow up the two party system. Voting for Stein or not voting will not do that. It will just get other people hurt. It is that simple. The Greens suck as a party as they don't do the work in between elections.

profmarylewis.bsky.social•115 days ago

Totally agree. Now is not the time, and as Pete said, Stein can’t win.

jrrezvani.bsky.social•115 days ago

Greens, almost everywhere, end up helping the right-wing parties.

david.setouchi.social•114 days ago

It's crazy how people have no memory. Nader basically put Bush in the White House, and Stein will only do the same if she gets a substantial number of votes.

If one cares about the environment, vote for the party and the candidate that will do some stuff to protect it, not the candidate that will destroy it and not the third party candidate that won't do shit but help the second candidate win.

Perhaps the democrats could do something to capture the trust of these voters instead of scolding them every four years then blaming them for the times they lose.

busbyj2.bsky.social•115 days ago

Yeah, the Stein woman is out of her g-d mind. Like, Stein isn't going to win so voting for Stein makes it more likelyTrump wins who will dismantle everything she cares about. Maybe she should google Ralph Nader and 2000 and ask her how that turned out.

Exactly

It's hard to not feel like everything is fucked lmao

It was not Ralph Nader's fault. The Supreme Court stole the election. Same cast of characters still involved now. Listen to Ralph Nader Radio Hour once a week and you'll understand who he is.

busbyj2.bsky.social•108 days ago

I don’t think so.

smsaideman.bsky.social•108 days ago

People who are into Nader remind me of people who are into Chomsky.

busbyj2.bsky.social•115 days ago

I bet she's extremely on-line & w some sleuthing we could reach out to her & ask her what her theory of change is. She doesn't vote for Harris. Stein gets 1% of vote in Michigan. Trump wins Michigan & presidency. He dismantles Inflation Reduction Act & w/draws from Paris Agreement. How is that good?

ericgrote.bsky.social•114 days ago

I was much more cynical when I was in my early 20s but getting x% of a 3rd party vote is not going to dismantle the 2 party system. So as an adult you have to vote and work within the constraints of the system to make things better

smsaideman.bsky.social•114 days ago

Third parties need to do the work in between Presidential elections, win some seats at lower levels and build. Greens have not done any of that. And Jill Stein is so fucking compromised.

taliesinnola.bsky.social•115 days ago

I didn't think she cares about outcomes. She likes attention and Republicans are willing to fund her campaign so that she gets it.

disnothus.bsky.social•114 days ago

Voting for Stein is less impactful this year than in 2016, if these people wanted to do that they should've been more engaged earlier instead of waiting right before we had an immediate dictator threat.

Not that it was exactly conscious free that time either.

valentenya.bsky.social•115 days ago

You wouldn’t need to blow up the two party system if you blew up the electoral college and replaced FPP with ranked choice voting. Until then you’re deluding yourselves if you think the Democrats aren’t just corporate fascism on a slower burn.

taliesinnola.bsky.social•115 days ago

I think the Greens should try to be a real party as opposed to whatever it is they are now. But I'm not convinced their platform is popular enough even to compete in the bluest legislative districts.

echidnabeans.bsky.social•114 days ago

Every time you guys start banging this drum it just alienates more people tired of the failing Democratic Party. Of course Buttigieg resonates with the most condescending people alive.

davidho.bsky.social•115 days ago

💯

beaverstanacct.bsky.social•115 days ago

Obama called Bill his "explainer in chief" during Obamacare, and he is very very good at explaining a concept in a way that the audience follows him and gets to reach the conclusion with him and feel smart and not condescended to, and Pete has that skill as well.

dirktherabbit.bsky.social•114 days ago

He did great and persuaded me of them, but the video had a frustrating end when the voter who was into climate policies said she'd vote for Jill Stein as she was pro-climate

expanse.bsky.social•115 days ago

That was really interesting.

Jill Stein voter was as expected.

expanse.bsky.social•115 days ago

I wanted to watch the reverse of this video, too. The closest I could find was Ben Shapiro vs 25 Kamala Harris voters and I just can't bring myself to do it.

tommyg.bsky.social•115 days ago

Did this just come out? This is catnip.

davidho.bsky.social•115 days ago

An hour ago?

tommyg.bsky.social•115 days ago

I am 100% going to watch this whole thing.

Thanks for sharing.
