The medias treatment of Jill Stein

[swag johnson]

I should have made this thread weeks ago but its not like it would have affected the election or anything.

But theyve been doing my home girl Jill dirty. for example when you googled Stein almost every result would be from corporate media articles saying how you should NOT vote for her. Go ahead and look.What kinda fukk shyt is that

Or they misrepresent her as some crazy lady thats anti vaccine when shes clearly said otherwise for years. or her plans to cut the defense budget to help with college debt and healthcare. cause we really need to outspend the next 20 countries combined on more weapons of mass destruction.

Not to mention all the brainwashed pundits who are saying its a waste of a vote, as if the majority of people in the country aren't disgusted with both main parties. But since the medias allowed to control the narrative not only do they deny third parties the coverage, but they can ignore the fact that even if the Green Party only gets 5 percent they'll be in a better position next election. and thats something neither democrats or rethuglicans want. sorry if im ranting, just wanted to get it off my chest

It might have something to do with her policies and her being dumber than a box of rocks...

 

[Saiyajin]

i definitely noticed this too, and i dont even support her or think its possible to leave the 2 party system

they purposely include memes likeDeez nuts or Harambe as options when they poll about her knowing people will joke and pick Harambe

then they go and write articles like this

everyone is crying about the establishment and the political system but then they turn around and laugh at the mockery of someone actually doing something about it

I think it's wrong that some of these other nominees aren't allowed to be involved in the debates.
Especially when the debates have devolved into damn near reality tv episodes.

It would help educate someone like me who refuses to vote for either Clinton or Trump but would potentially consider a different candidate.

If you're too progressive in this country you get smashed by liberals who really don't want to fight as hard and just care about social issues and some other things every once and awhile.

Look at Standing Rock for example. You got journalist, celebrities, and citizens getting fukked up out there by a militarized force while the supposed left nominee is playing a game and releasing vague statements or ignoring it.

Until they get more like minded and like partied folks on Capital Hill it is a wasted vote. All it does it suck votes from the main two and likely gives the wrong one an advantage. The country is disgusted. No lies told there. But just because you're disgusted doesn't mean there isn't a better choice. And rushing to get a Jill Stein in the White House even though she won't get shyt passed because noone on the Hill aligns with her views in any large enough margin isn't a solution. It's where Bernie would have failed as well. There just aren't enough people on Capital Hill that share his views. You need that. You can't do politics all alone, folks. A revamp is nice. But it's not going to start at the top. It's time for folks who love third party to accept this. Put them in those down ticket slots. Their voice can go further and they also stand a much higher chance of winning.

You might say it's too late for all that. Well just pick between the two established parties we have and call it a day then.

Well said.

Stein wasn't a good messenger. However she has been systematically marginalized by liberal media outlets, as they tried to do with sanders. They were much more successful this time because stein wasn't as a good a candidate as sanders.

I'll add that the media and elite pundits in general haven't hesitated to use several sexist tropes against stein. All while claiming the only feminist choice is HRC of course

The bold is exactly why they're not involved in the debates...

The establishment doesn't want to break away from the two party system...

If you vote third this election that may happen in 4 years...

but we have to start by laying the foundation for change this election...

15% of the vote is what we need...

Neither Stein or Johnson is a good candidate...

I was hoping Ventura would run, he's not that much better but he inspires more confidence...

Bottomline is this, Stein and Johnson are the types of candidates we're stuck with when a third party isn't viable because the Bernie Sanders types that identify as Independent are forced to run as Democrat/Repub...Bernie would have never run as a Democrat if a third party was viable...

If we make a third party viable, we'll get better candidates...That's why I keep telling folks, you're not voting third for president this election...You're voting third to start a revolution that will lead to a third party becoming viable in the future and that will lead to better candidates...

15% is what gets the ball rolling in the right direction...
