Original title was “A big Seattle name is in the election battlegrounds — helping Trump” which I editorialized primarily to better explain who Kshama Sawant is over the generic “a big Seattle name”.

What is the threat? Can Stein win the White house?
If they get 5%, not only do they get Federal election funding, they also have guaranteed ballot access so they do not have to fight for ballot access on each individual State every single election and they get a podium at the debates. Giving them legitimacy, which in turn creates a threat to the right-wing authoritarian duopoly we currently have
You can’t even be self-consistent from moment to moment. So which is it. Are both parties fascistic, as you claimed above. In which case no matter how much any third-party garnered from the vote. They would never get any matching funds. Or are you suddenly acknowledging that you’re full of shit. And actively working to get actual fascists elected?
…Elections? After his next term? Would you put your life on the line to guarantee we will have any?
And on that chance we don’t…
Could you console me in the labor camps or take my breath away with your strategies before the gas chamber does?
No. Your social media empathy does not extend to those within your reach. The golden light of your halo is as inert as the neon gas inside it.
Disrupt as you see fit, create whatever new claims you need and just leave us alone to our death then. I will not play your game. I will not assist in any form, a Trump election victory.
If they manage to hit 5% of the vote this election, which of course would mean a Trump win, then they will in no way, shape, or form have guaranteed ballot access in the next election. They’ll be lucky if they aren’t in prison or worse.
This person who’s going around calling herself a socialist, and also risking Trump getting elected, is showing an incredible level of thick-headed cluelessness as to what he plans to have the police and military do to anything that looks any type of left-wing, over the course of his second term.
They also won’t hit 5%, but that’s not even the main concern here.
So you get 5%, then what? We know that Stein is trying to upset Harris, but let’s play along.
You get federal funding for the 2028 election. Say you win the White house, shit pigs could fly. They run damn near zero state or federal seats. They get in with a Democrat or Republican House/Senate and does nothing.
Defunding the military would be by congress, they set the budget. Funding overseas wars, congress. You could block them but run the chance of a veto. Third parties have zero desire for change. They want power but without a foundation.
Plan and simple, third parties are being pushed for a Trump victory. Most people claim to care what is happening. What about Syria, Yemen, Sudan, and Iran? Trump watched all of those places burn and still burning. I don’t hear Stein talking about a single one.
If they get 5% of what?
You are a liar, sowing disinformation and are either a foreign asset or straight up troll.
You know what would actually give these charlatans legitimacy? Running down ballot candidates in various states, getting elected in city councils, state legislatures. Getting a voice in naming and affirming state officials and judges. You know, actually functioning as a political party. What doesn’t do anything is running a No-Win Presidential Candidate.
Every single third party candidate for president at this point is a literal foreign agent whether they know it or not.
too bad they are so unpopular and incompetent! Only 20% of the way there!
