Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Why doesn’t Jill Stein spend the time between presidential elections working on her party and running people in local and state elections?

[–] almar_quigley@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Because she only gets paid to spoil the presidential election, not disrupt local politics.

I think she legitimately believes that she, personally, is some sort of savior. I think all the Russia stuff is a case of not looking a gift horse in the mouth. Effectively, it's the same result, but I tend to think folks are generally just dumb rather than evil.

They already got shut down because they filed incorrectly. Surprise surprise, their legal representation is Jay Sekulow. Yes, that Jay Sekulow who works singularly with right-wing nutjobs and Trump. Not suspicious at all.

Why are third parties so bad at accomplishing basic shit like getting on the ballot? Saw the same issues in Georgia.

Makes me real skeptical about them being competent enough to run the county. That’s for sure.

lol now instead of being some viking motherfucker you're suddenly assuming a black identity.

From earlier, https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/jill-stein-slams-nevada-supreme-court-after-green-party-suffers-big-blow-in-ballot-battle/ar-AA1qfyLA

The campaign team for Stein and her running mate, Dr. Butch Ware, have said there is "no legal recourse" to fight the Nevada decision.

Well, I guess he was wrong then.
