    Voting for Stein puts Democrats on notice that if they can’t stop serving their donors and start serving the American people, then they’ll be to blame for their loss. They need to earn people’s votes. They aren’t entitled to votes just because they aren’t the other candidate.

      In all seriousness, do you think it will do that? There’s no place on a ballot to put the REASON you cast your vote, so isn’t it possible the Democrats who look at the post-mortem choose to interpret your vote in some other way?

        Kamala’s poll numbers have dropped significantly. They know the reasons but so far they’d rather lose than stop the flow of AIPAC donations.

          You didn’t answer my question even a little.

          It’s not a difficult question.

          We’ve established your action and your goal.

          Your action: Voting for Jill Stein Your goal: To force Democrats to remove corporate interests from their platform and selection process

          I’m with you. Now it’s a question.

          Do you, in your heart of hearts, rubber meets the road, believe the action you are going to take will lead to the goal you want?

          It’s a simple yes or no. Do you?
