Joe Stein, the man who later wrote Fiddler on the Roof, created a film noir spoof for Arnold Stang called Malcolm Murdock, Boy Detective.

the american voting system is NOT EQUIPPED to support a 3rd party without ranked choice voting. and until we get RCV, it's one or the other. and it WILL be one or the other.

a lot of 3rd party candidates sound great, but they do not have a realistic chance at winning. be realistic. you know who does have a chance at winning? the household names, trump or harris.

splitting the vote by going 3rd party is what made trump happen in 2016, it was hillary clinton's downfall. it was USED by state sponsored internet trolls to spread propaganda, destabilize and divide the left. it was endorsed by trump himself, he tried it in 2020 too, and he's doing it again now because he knows it might be the only chance he has at winning.

be VERY wary of anyone telling you vote 3rd party. it's trump or harris. it won't be stein, de la cruz, or sherman, or fucking anybody else ive never heard of, because nobody is talking about independent candidates, and EVERYONE is talking about trump and harris.

it will be trump or harris for president, and it will be trump if you vote 3rd party. and ill tell you as an anarchist, i would rather have kamala harris and all her flaws in office over the fascist donald trump who would see me and my queer siblings and my friends and family of color dead.

do not split the fucking vote.

Goncharov (1973)

I know everyone talks about Ice Pick Joe, but let’s be real, that scene where he finally kills Gil “the Grill” McGilicuddy? Brian Dennehy STOLE IT.

EDIT

Hey, so we added up the process video for how we made these!

[decolonize-the-everything]

Typing this ask for your followers, bc i assume you already know this.

Jasmine Sherman has the highest chance of winning out of all third party candidates.

They have ballot access in all states except 2, and they are actively working on getting access in the other two. This is more than almost all other third party candidates, which means that if a candidate doesn’t have access in your state, you can’t vote for them, which severely limits their chances of winning. Other candidates, such as Jill Stein, have 26 states whose ballots do not contain the option to vote for her.

Furthermore, they’re vocally supportive of not just Palestine, but also of the Congo and Sudan. This gives them a leg up in the election, as even the other candidates who support Palestine aren’t nearly as outspoken about it as Sherman is.

Additionally, they’re vocal about Covid 19 procedures and have a transitional lockdown and mandatory vaccination plan. They also support Abolish the Police, and suggest an alternative on their website.

I don’t work for them, I’m not part of their campaign, but I’m trying to spread awareness. I would be very grateful if you could post this ask so your followers would have easy access to the information in one place + be made aware of Sherman’s policies.

Thank you for your time.

Coincidentally they're live on TikTok right now (1:22 am est July 23) playing the sims & will be live until 3am

If you're queer or a feminist or support human rights you might wanna pay attention to this potential president.

[peoplevsbirds]

i’m so sick of these spineless fucking liberals not even pretending to withhold their vote for biden. instead of even trying to make him sweat, trying to leverage their voting power to sway him to support different policies*, blue maga is just proudly supporting a colonizing genocide facilitator.

i always knew those 99% Hitler vs 100% Hitler jokes were accurate but it’s still surreal to be berated by self described “progressives” for not wanting to vote for a man who has given bombs to Israel, lied multiple times about October 7, and actively helped Israel murder 37,000+ Palestinians

Sorry, i won’t be voting for that ghoul and there’s nothing anyone could say to change my mind

*yes i know that even if joe biden made promises to stop supporting Israel he likely would walk back on them but this is literally bare minimum shit guys omfg

[hungee-boy]

just a general question: are u voting for jasmine sherman? i think they’re the third party candidate who’s most likely to win, just based on the fact that they’re on the ballot in 48 states

Sherman honestly looks like my perfect president, like all of their policies align with what I think is best like:

Abolishment of Police and Education on Firearms

Agriculture Policy and Support of Landback (WIP)

Anti-Indoctrination Policy and Support of Gentle Parenting

Decriminalizing Drug Use/Possession and Decriminalizing Sex Work

Guaranteed Housing and Universal Basic Income

And so many other more or lesser known policies that could genuinely save a lot of lives. Oh, and they also advocate for a free Palestine, Sudan, and Congo.

I am really not sure how they will do and I don't fully expect them to be president, BUT if the vast Americans that would benefit from at least one of Sherman/Bluebear's policies at least knew about them and advocated for their politics no matter who wins the race, I think we might have a chance at making a more equal and safe country.

Take the time to read about them.

[bonesashesglass]

For liberals who don’t understand why people are voting third party, please give this a watch.

It’s not about “being stubborn”. It’s about using the little power we have to do whatever we can to to get our leaders to change their policies on Palestine, and end the genocide.

Hopefully, Biden being kicked out means that dems are finally waking up and realizing that they aren’t going to win if they continue to ignore Palestine, and maybe Kamala Harris will co-opt ending the genocide into her policies.

[madamepestilence]

Welp. People have literally no excuse not to vote for Dr. Stein now.

Biden dropped from the election. There are literally no other Democratic candidates running - Harris isn't even currently running.

Current running candidates are Donald Trump (self-explanatory), Chase Oliver (Libertarian), RFKJ (literally a fascist antivaxxer), Dr. Jill Stein (Green Party, enough ballot access to win), Randall Terry (anti-abortion Constitutionalist), and Dr. Cornel West (explicit socialist, but nowhere near enough ballot access to win)

[quitepossiblytall]

Some people are voting for Jill Stein because of Palestine.

I’m NOT voting for Jill Stein because of Ukraine.

You don’t get to claim she’s the anti-genocide candidate and also find her stance on the genocide of Ukraine acceptable.

Russia illegally invaded. It bombs hospitals and schools. It destroys Ukraine’s cultural heritage. It kidnaps Ukrainian children. This is genocide and Jill Stein said it was a “relatively moderate response”.

She wants to end NATO and open up countries like Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia to the same thing. That doesn’t sound very anti-genocide to me.

This is a poll. The question is "If you can vote in the USA 2024 election, who are you voting for?"

[nyiibat2]

I made a 32 page google document of each presidential candidate for the 2024 race:

Google doc:

Robert F Kennedy Jr-

Chase Oliver -

Trump-

Marianne Williamson-

Jill Stein -

Kamala Harris -

[decolonize-the-everything]

Hi :3

So someone said Kamala is the female Obama and I've been thinking about it....

And then did some internet sleuthing about it.

Hear me out

Didn't Dems use Obama to win Black voters after losing the previous election to Bush cuz Al Gore (like Clinton) lost?

And didn't they blame the 3rd party candidate Ralph Nader for Al Gore's loss?? Much like they blamed Bernie Bros?? Even tho the truth was that al Gore was hardly better and lacked the charisma Bush had? (Again, like Trump?)

So are we sure this is actually democrats conceding anything at all?? Are we not sure they put Kamala in the WH just to adjust voters to the idea of her being president anyway? That maybe they do realize the need for change but have chosen to err on the side of token progress that keeps them in power...again?

Article from Dec 2010:

At first glance, the president and Harris have much in common: Both are mixed-race children of immigrants raised by a single mother; both are eloquent, telegenic big-city lawyers with strong liberal credentials who catapulted from relative obscurity to the national stage. And like the first African-American president, Harris has broken a long-standing barrier — she’s California’s first African-American attorney general and the first woman to hold the office.

[...]“She’s a rare talent who will be a national figure shortly,” said Chris Lehane, a former Clinton aide who is now a consultant in California. “People call her the female Obama. It’s more apt to say she is the female Obama that progressives thought they were voting for.”

Are we absolutely positive that we have been learning lessons from history; like even recent history even? Because she isn't actually much different from Obama at all and this was Obama's legacy:

People were then reassured by Obama and rather than voting for 3rd parties in 2012 like they said, they elected Obama again. Just like y'all tried to do with Biden. And definitely like what will happen under Kamala.

He even got people to vote for him cuz of his promise to secure abortion rights and he did this right:

But tell me how that stopped the supreme court from stripping it???

Don't fall for this again

Cuz people were fucking pissed after Obama weren't they. Progressives wouldn't put up with a moderate like Clinton even compared to Trump. And that was unexpected wasn't it, progress that they couldn't come back from. So they lost to Trump, but what a convenient reset! Suddenly settling wasn't so bad for the American people, huh? And y'all elected Biden.

Who, outside the homoerotic Biden/Obama memes, people didn't like (and I'd argue those memes are what made him likeable to the younger generations to begin with).

But things have been tense, haven't they? The displeasure of voters didn't completely go away when Biden remained a centrist. It wasn't enough, especially when he supported genocide. And now they give us Kamala after we wanted Biden to step down for supporting Israel?

....But she still supports Israel?

Nobody knows how/if progressives will show up for Kamala because we can all feel how much Kamala isn't pleasing anyone. The tension is still palpable. Democrats have made an awful bet.

And I am DONE.

Dems have been manipulating voters away from 3rd parties every single election while making promises they never keep good on, while doing NOTHING to actually protect any of us or make anything better. While killing people, deporting them, and justifying war crimes! While liberals promise to push them left and never do and ALSO tell everyone not to vote 3rd party "right now"

All they do is perpetuate the systems that serve each other. I mean we're in 2000 & 2008 again, politically. Already.

They will never ever systematically support progress the way that 3rd parties do. And they don't care to listen or change cuz they know they can Force you to vote for less by making sure that a centrist Democrat is always on the ticket with ballot access in every state and nobody else is.

They make sure if it in fact

If progress is what you want it's time to Genuinely start listening to people who tell you a vote for democrats is worthless for your goals.

I'm just fed up mexi-ojibwe american adult who grew up with shitty presidents and grew up with full access of the internet to educate myself about what led to this mess.

So are a LOT of other adults who feel this way!!!

And what we know led to this situation is the two party system. And how the system has been enabled by scared liberals who listen to fear-mongerering Democrats every election.

Democrats want history to repeat because it keeps them in power. Because what they do and how they treat you keeps them in power.

Is that what you want? To be treated like this in perpetuity for almost nothing in return?

Me neither.

So unless you have a better idea or plan to start burning shit down yourself then your most realistic option to break out of this abusive cycle is to vote 3rd party.

"vote blue in the primary, it's our only realistic option!" -> "if you don't vote blue you deserve trump" -> "can't you just be happy republican/trump lost?" -> quietly not doing much between elections-> "vote blue in the-" etc

Cycles don't end on their own, that's the thing about cycles in fact.

So vote 3rd party. Yeah it's scary. Yeah it might not work. But again, do you have a better idea? Because what we're doing and have been doing for the last 30 years, this "lesser evil" & "vbnmw" thing was the liberals' idea and that isn't working for any of us At All. Its keeping us here in this cycle where nothing gets better but it can Always get worse.

If you can't vote 3rd party in your state ask yourself why that is then do something about it.

Quit expecting democrats to give a shit about the equality you need when you've been protesting genocide for nearly a year and they still welcomed the war criminal for a conversation in the white house.

Any right you've won under democrats is as superficial as Obama's executive order and that's been proven.

⭐ Tldr ⭐

According to all available history: FUCK DEMOCRATS; You NEED to be supporting 3rd parties if you support progress and you need to do the work of getting their names out. Democrats DO fight and suppress 3rd parties. So its more work to support a 3rd party than a democrat, yeah.

But if progress is worth anything at all it should be worth at least trying to do the work it takes to get a viable 3rd party on the ballot.

DO THAT PLEASE.

Thank you

As someone who has always been unimaginably disgusted by Trump, but also as someone who has grown almost equally sickened by Biden, I think I can only vote for a third party. I may not think Jill Stein (Green Party Candidate) is like the best person for president but she sure is better than those other shit shows. But then I gotta ask myself is it morally wrong to vote for someone who I know will lose the election (bc third parties never win)? Bc voting for a third party is kinda like a non-vote which is a vote for him? Should I just vote for Biden even though I think he would run this country into the ground just as fast as Trump would? Like I would never vote for Trump, but voting for Biden feels inherently wrong also. Why have our presidential candidates become so horrible that no one but extremists are happy with the choices? Idk, would love some advice because I feel like no matter who I vote for I feel like I’m doing something wrong.

Top COP KAMALA CANNOT SAVE AMERICA + STOP MISOGYNIOR  | Part 2 @BlackWomanVibes

As an Ace (Asexual) life outside of cishet patriarchal normativity often is lonely. Even as part of the LGBTQIA+ community, we are often relegated as a mystery due to the lack of media/social representation of Asexuals and being replaced as a + sign after the Q in LGBTQ(+). Amatonormativity may rule the day, but we still exist as the alternative and that’s beautiful. 💜🖤🩶🤍 Today in this video we are critiquing the political landscape and what Kamala Harris’s camp CAN do and CANNOT do to improve the lives of Americans. Kamala is THEE TOP COP but she is not to blame for an already shitty system. However, she WILL NOT be the savior or new blood to bring forth  radical substantial change to the material conditions of Americans. LAST WEEK was Part 1 of Part 2 THIS WEEK is the conclusion with Part 2 of Part 2.
