Everyone constantly down votes you but I appreciate being informed that Jill Stein sucks. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[-] UniversalMonk@lemmy.world -2 points 5 hours ago

If anything in my post helps you feel better, then I'm happy for you, friend.

Jill Stein doesn’t put in the efforts between presidential elections to promote her party or to get her candidates elected in local, state or federal elections.

She’s not for helping anyone besides herself and a majority of Muslim Americans realize this.

[-] blazera@lemmy.world -3 points 5 hours ago

You just get that impression because the media isnt interested in her between elections. She continues having events and talks and doing political work.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

How many people in her party are elected in local, state or federal governments?

[-] blazera@lemmy.world -2 points 4 hours ago

You really cant be crusading against a party being elected and then try and complain that theyre not getting elected.

This was my original comment, the one you responded to.

[-] blazera@lemmy.world -2 points 4 hours ago

Yes, effort is put in. Effort that you and the DNC are fighting against on a daily basis. How much effort gets someone elected for the green party? Can you give me a number of speeches given, emails sent, flyers put up, that guarantees their candidate gets elected?

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

How many people in her party are elected in local, state or federal governments?

This question has an answer.

What is the number?

[-] blazera@lemmy.world -2 points 4 hours ago

Nah we're talking about putting in effort. They can put in all the work in the world but they cant force anyone to vote for them.

This is the comment you replied to, because it seems like you’re a little confused.

You can’t build a party from the top up, you have start at the bottom, the foundation.

She hasn’t done that and she didn’t even run for president in 2020.

I'll allow this article to slide because the title says it all. See you tomorrow SB.

[-] BlameThePeacock@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 hours ago

1.34% of the American population, the third largest religion in the US behind Christianity and Judaism.

I'm also going to point out that voting based on what's happening to people who share your religion in a foreign country is a TERRIBLE idea. If you make that your voting priority, it will bite you in the face in other aspects of your life because someone will exploit you for their own ends. The same is pretty much true for any single issue voter.

We're all free to be stupid, but it probably won't end well.

[-] blazera@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

How about based on whats happening to people that dont share my religion? Because what is happening is so horrific it doesnt matter what group they belong to, it must be stopped.

[-] BlameThePeacock@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 hours ago

When was the last time you posted about the other genocides going on? Do you even know which ones I'm talking about?

Or are you just following the social context around the Israel-Palestine conflict and ignoring the fact that there are multiple other major genocides occurring right now? One of them has had a few hundred thousand kids forcibly separated from their parents and sent to special boarding schools, the other is at almost a half million deaths, both dwarfing the scale of the Israeli-Palestine conflict by almost an order of magnitude.

How about them? Where's the university protests? Where's the demands for divestment? You haven't even made a single comment or post about any of them from what I can see.

Nah, this one is the fad genocide to be all upset about right now.

[-] blazera@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Ill bite, wikipedia has no idea what youre talking about either

[-] BlameThePeacock@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)
[-] blazera@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Its got 2 other ongoing genocides, neither of which with deaths anywhere near what youre talking about. One for Ukraine which Ive definitely commented on and condemned. And a different one also affecting muslims.

[-] BlameThePeacock@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 hours ago

You must not have scrolled down far enough, there's one that's been going on for 20+ years in Sudan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudanese_civil_war_(2023%E2%80%93present)

The forcibly separated kids one isn't even listed there, because China has done everything it can to scrub it from public knowledge, it's linked to an older one in there though. The Uyghurs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Uyghurs_in_China

Any vote for Harris is taking a vote away from a third-party candidate and is giving it to Trump.

[-] BlameThePeacock@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 hours ago

I think you may have got your order muddled up.

[-] UniversalMonk@lemmy.world -2 points 5 hours ago

Nope. Every vote for Harris is stealing a vote from third-party candidates who represent real change. By sidelining those voices, you’re indirectly helping Trump win!

If you really want to avoid a Trump win, supporting a viable alternative outside the two-party system is the only way to push the conversation forward. :)

[-] pooperNickel@lemm.ee 2 points 4 hours ago

Nice try but that's in no way nearing reality. It is however, intentionally enraging. What a great guy.

[-] anticolonialist@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

The Muslim population in swings states is larger than the margin Biden won in 2020.

[-] BlameThePeacock@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 hours ago

The Muslim population isn't a single voting bloc, and a good chunk are still voting Democrat.

On the flip side, the Jewish population is almost twice the size of the Muslim population, so pissing them off is probably worse.

[-] UniversalMonk@lemmy.world -1 points 5 hours ago

Fair points.

[-] UniversalMonk@lemmy.world -1 points 5 hours ago

Should be a fun election night!

[-] anticolonialist@lemmy.world -5 points 8 hours ago

They should withhold their vote for the person contributing to getting their family members killed. When Democrats lose again it will be their own doing, again.

The cult of personality to the point of being willing to overlook genocide is insane
