I also think we should drag Ralph Nader out of the nursing home and pump him full of meth…
Not to run for president or anything, I just think it’d be fun.
Unsafe at any dosage of speed
Yeah, for every bit these people are cringing out, I agree with their conclusion.
We might actually get some more public safety issues taken care of if we did that
She needs to shut the fuck up and make that video about “Moving Biden Left” already
Those were her words, her promise, so confident 4 years ago and now crickets and talking nonsense about Ralph Nader, dipshit hack
but… arent you shooting biden full of meth before every public appearance?
Youtubers and streamers arent your friends
contrapoints quote dunking bjg quote dunking medhi hasan
can somebody squish me with a comically large wooden mallet, I would like to be rid of this moment for good
I bet more Americans would vote for meth-Nader than voted for him last time, which could reach the threshold to get public funding for his party, which might actually do some good unlike reelecting Biden.
In good faith (hehexd), I don’t understand what’s happening in this chain of tweets. Is BJG saying November isn’t depressing because of the third party candidate? Why would Ralph Nader be better than Jill Stein? Who is Mehdi Hasan?
Mehdi hasan is a lib, who can’t count past two parties. Brianna is implying that there is a secret third option on the ballot, natalie saying thats ralph nader 2.0
While is why any voting discourse is genuine, 100% bonafide, pointless.
I don’t live in the US but just read her Wikipedia page - am I missing something Jill Stein seems way better than Bernie. Surprised I don’t hear HBs talk about her more seems like the best kind of candidate Burgerland could possibly produce.
She has some typical green bad vibes around vaccines and nuclear, i think, and electoral politics is a void, outside of polling amount of non-genocidal electorate of the usa, its relatively useless. Plus we have pumpkin spice latte
She’s right about nuclear. If you disagree you’re a fucking lib. This is my hot take, I won’t back down. The socialists who endorse nuclear in America are redditors and turbolibs.
There’s a difference between “nuclear will singlehandedly solve the climate crisis” and “nuclear can be in the mix idgaf” which more accurately describes most people here’s opinion of it.
The answer to this is a resounding “it depends”
The answer is actually “We can’t burn a limited resource to escape our reliance on limited resources”. There is no “This depends” There’s a side that’s wrong (The “Nuclear is a solution” side) and there is a side that’s not wrong.
To be fair renewables rely on nonrenewable steel and rare earth metals as well
No that’s not being fair. There is a difference between the resources needed to build something, and lighting a limited resource on fire for fuel. Especially when you still need to build the nuclear power plants. We literally can’t switch to all nuclear right now, if we do we run out of fuel in a presidential term.
Nuclear is already in the mix. It’s not doing anything to help the situation. For it to actually do anything to alleviate the situation the pro nuclear position has to involve fucking sci fi technology and totally unworkable political projects. You are not getting a permanent nuclear waste storage facility and Thorium will not solve the energy crisis, therefore nuclear is not a panacea. Nuclear is a limited fuel source regulated by the most captured body in the entire universe. No climate solution can possibly involve leaning heavily into it. It just can’t. Just build renewable fucking energy. We don’t need to start 30 year long projects as stepping stones to converting the energy industry, that’s a time horizon that’s entirely out of step with reality, especially when you also expect and require the long projects to use sci fi technology that does not exist and for their reliable use have to finish political hot potatoes that the US has solidly avoided doing anything about for almost 100 years
A big problem with Stein is that she only appears every four years to be the candidate and then goes back to obscurity until the next election. It seems that she has no interest in actually building a legitimate Green Party that could compete with or even form a coalition with the D’s and the R’s.
At least Bernie is out there doing some kind of consensus building on things like healthcare or GND and backing other D-S candidates for lower office.
The Green Party will never take the oval office without the support of Green mayors, governors, or people in congress.
- It just seems like kayfabe to suppress any challenge to dems from the left.
Both are leaning into their respective expected picks to gin up their brands, because their personalities are what they sell in this economy
is that not equivalent to running BidenPresident?
Obligatory mention that Joe Biden absolutely hates and has been attempting to murder every single old poor working class person and anyone with dementia for years
