Voting for Stein is a vote for Trump. This was cutting off their nose to spite their face. “Harris didn’t do enough for me personally, so I’ll vote for the guy who banned us?” WTH kind of logic is that?

What a waste of a vote. Wish people like Stein would drop out after the conventions.

If anything, a vote for stein did exactly what they wanted. It got the Ds to at least notice them. It ore them at your own peril, DNC. Their vote for Stein was never about getting her elected.

I’m not sure this is true. 43k Gazans have died during the Biden admin with countless more having their limbs blown off. 2/3 women and children. Hard to see how their suffering under Trump will be worse. Plus his daughter is married to a Lebanese man. In a way, with one daughter married to a Jewish American and the other married to a Lebanese American maybe Trump is actually best positioned to develop a lasting solution IDK but honestly, how pre Isley can be worse than what is happening now?

A vote for Stein was a vote for Trump.

And, it doesn't matter a damn bit whether the D's notice them or not when you force the D's to lose and they are then powerless to help you.

Bottom line is that a lot more Gazans and a lot more Lebanese will suffer and die over the next four years.

I stand by my statement. The sooner people stop being religious the closer we will get to peace. Religion is for the weak and stupid.

Sadly, there are other reasons.

Revolutionary
Civil War
WWI
WWII
Korea
Vietnam
First Iraq War

That explains why they voted for a woman governor!

Forgot … it also explains why they voted for Tlaib.

The Democratic Party Brown Shirts have found this thread.

The vote for stein did not hat it was intended to do. It got your attention. THAT represent me a victory of its own. Sorry, but you can’t treat your supporters like children who should be seen (to get votes) but not heard. This as the story of the election.

All the maturity of a young teenager. It just makes them look immature, thoughtless, and quite frankly, UNAmerican. And this is true for everyone who voted for Stein and Trump, not just them. They may feel morally superior to white nationalist trumpers but they are not. They voted to burn America to the ground. It’s entirely possible that they will never have the chance to vote again. Some message.

And these same people would vote for Ilhan Omar as well.

There is no reasoning with these crazy people on here. No one wants what you’re selling you rich white liberal! Not Muslims, not Hispanic men, not working class folks. No one likes you. Do you understand yet?!!!

It may have gotten their attention, but the lesson they learn may not be what you think.

Why should Democrats go out of their way to appease a tiny minority if it means losing the votes of millions of working class whites?

If anything, the lesson from this election is that Democrats need to jettison their "big tent" politics and go back being the "white working class" party that they were for generations.

But don't worry, I'm sure Republicans will work hard for your votes now.

But they obviously realize that a Trump administration would be just as supportive of Israel. I would assume that they would go with the candidate who belongs to a party that has a significant faction of people opposed to supporting Israel, which is non-existent in the Republican party. Can anyone help me make sense of this?

To send a message to the democrats.

I guess the fruit of the labor will be Gaza being razed and rebuilt by Jared and Dearborn being emptied of those very Muslim/Arabs who will be sent back to their "sh@thole" countries regardless of immigration or naturalization status.

Clearly it isn’t going to get them what they voted for yet because DumDums like you still aren’t listening. You hear, cry, and gnash your teeth but you don’t listen.

Thanks for proving that despite what Dems say, they are as racist as the other side. SMH

A colleague of mine lives in Michigan and he had feared for a while that the Muslim vote was going to go for Trump or at least not for Harris.... He said the Gaza thing hit that community harder than anywhere else. And while it logically did not make sense to vote for someone who wants Palestine wiped off the map, that's in fact what they were deciding to do

The Democrats are in a bad spot overall because they have to appeal and be kind and gracious and help every single voting block while the Republicans just have to spew hate and create their own truth
