I received my ballot a week ago and I couldn’t bring myself to fill it out yet. I’m scared of another Trump presidency if that is what happens, but I can’t keep supporting Democrats that have become what they claim to hate. I know if I vote for her that I’m sending a message that they can keep using the same playbook to move closer to fascism and corporatocracy.

They use their influence & power to eliminate opposition, and their donor money to astroturf social media. They censor other voices online, and spread lies about other people (Jill Stein) without evidence. They gaslight and claim you’re fascist for telling the truth and blame others for their mistakes. They’ll use your money to pay for genocide while turning a blind eye to help themselves, but make a thousand excused why they can’t help you.

They don’t deserve to win. Trump will be bad and I’m scared about what will happen if he wins, but you and I are not to blame. All they had to do was be truthful, transparent, empathetic and genuine—but their lust for power got in the way.

        I’m sorry, but that makes me even more suspicious of Stein’s motives.

        She finally gathers the courage to criticize Putin, and SHE IGNORES HIS INVASION OF UKRAINE! Does she even understand why the world condemns Putin? Does she know why he was indicted by the ICC?

        Open a newspaper, Jill. It’s not because of FREAKING SYRIA!

        Her platform regarding the Russian invasion of Ukraine is indistinguishable from that of Trump: “stop arming Ukraine”. So Russia can finish its conquest without US interference. Guess what, that’s also the same as Putin’s advice to the US.

        If I wanted the US to take Putin’s advice there would be no need to vote for Stein, I would just vote for Trump.
