Convince them to vote for Harris/Walz.
How?
There simply is no path for Jill Stein to win enough electoral votes to actually win a presidential election. That's why third party candidates are a joke.
THERE IS NO PATH FOR STEIN TO SECURE THE ELECTORAL VOTES NEEDED TO WIN.
Voting for Stein is a total waste of their votes and their time.
By voting for Stein, they may actually help Trump win. (I still think Harris will mop the floor with Trump's ass but we still need every vote.)
A vote for Stein is a vote for Trump.
Ask Stein supporters to call on their own ability to reason and vote for Harris/Walz.
I know that many of them have enough sense to see the danger of Trump AND they know Stein has ZERO chance of winning.
I think many of them can be convinced to vote for Harris if we reach out to them. We gotta try.
Harris/Walz 2024!!

(586 posts)i don't know where i would find a Stein voter although i did see a Stein lawn sign in front of a house that must be 2+ million $.
I imagine any Stein voter would see me as a normie not worth listening to.

They contributed to the SC we have today.
More productive to convince independents and get out the vote

As far as I am concerned the Green Party has done more than enough to bring us where we are today. 2000 and 2016.
They are a bunch of losers, and the only ones who would vote for them in this election are people who are selfish and stubborn.
If you have to convince someone not to vote third party in this election, they are beyond convincing, and there are others who you have at least a chance of convincing than these losers.

(27,884 posts)They wont change their minds. They are forever stuck in the 60s and actually want the chaos. They live in They are smug and self righteous AF. No getting through to them; at least the ones I know. I see them as similar to the far rights anti government (unless it benefits them) zealots.
No clue about the younger ones. Maybe theres hope for them.
They cant do any damage here in California where Harris will win with or without their help.

(411 posts)They think if they cause enough pain they can break the Democrats and make them change to what they want them to be. Pretty crazy.

(790 posts)They either have an entirely impractical view of the world, where they imagine that the can somehow inspire the world to come behind their no-chance candidate, if only they act and they believe...
Or they don't give a damn about the outcome of an election, at least not more than being a hero in their own minds for "expressing themselves", "being true to themselves", for "bravely" not going along with "picking the lesser of two evils". They'd rather the world burn down than compromise.
