MAKSIM Posted May 24 Posted May 24 (edited) Democrats suck but this is what every campaign does, no? It's oppo research. Even in same-party primaries they have people who track events/people. Edited May 24 by MAKSIM 2
WildAmerican Posted May 24 Posted May 24 i mean 3rd parties are not viable and only ever act as spoilers in the US soooo... i wish our electoral system was different and we had a parliamentary system where third parties could form coalitions and actually matter but you gotta work in the system we have, not the one you want. plus this is just a political party trying to win? which they all do. 1 3

Maybe they would be viable if the entire political apparatus and corporate media didn't smear them, work to keep them off ballots, and bar them from debates. Edited May 24 by GraceRandolph 9 2

Communion Posted May 24 Posted May 24 11 minutes ago, WildAmerican said: i mean 3rd parties are not viable They're certainly stuck as such when Democrats invest millions in roles like these to do things like unethically challenge and petition signatures for ballot access as fake knowing smaller parties won't have the same time and resources for such fraudulent legal challenges, sure. 5 1
Taylena Posted May 24 Posted May 24 Democracy is when the only choice is to vote for centrist neoliberal Democrats and nobody else. 4
dawnettakins Posted May 24 Posted May 24 B-b-but democracy! We must save ours! Dems are a joke smh 1 1
Moloko Plus Posted May 24 Posted May 24 Not surprising in the least - Democrats were successful at removing third party candidates off the ballots in many states in 2016/2020 In my state in particular I had to vote for None of the above. Such a joke 2
Bloodflowers. Posted May 24 Posted May 24 Not surprised, isn't Jill Stein extremely popular with Arab Americans because of her stance on Palestine? Of course Democrats are shook 1 1
Dula Peep Posted May 24 Posted May 24 Stein will hand Trump the election again it seems I guess that's what yall want... 3 4

Onyxmage Posted May 25 Posted May 25 Biden will be okay if he wins or loses. So will most Democratic politicians. They want to win to keep power and pass whatever agenda they have. At least its not taking rights and programs away from American people like Republicans want to do. Ready for the palestine responses in 3....2....1.... 1 3

Sure, but wouldn't their time be more well spent trying to actually win over voters who are drifting towards Stein rather than trying to do opposition research?

I dont think they are comfortable with it I think they just wont be hurt by it. Neither will Republicans. Personally I need certain programs to stay in place to literally help me and millions of Americans to stay financially afloat like the SAVE program that Biden implemented. Republicans are already launching lawsuits against it for some ridiculous reason. They are cruel for NO reason.
