and the US Green Party runs as spoilers. Let’s look at three scenarios: Scenario
1: Harris: 1001 votes Trump: 1000 votes Stein: 0 votes Harris wins — Scenario 2:
Harris: 1000 votes Trump: 1000 votes Stein: 1 vote Tied vote, which goes to the
courts and Congress, putting Trump in power — Scenario 3: Harris: 999 votes
Trump: 1000 votes Stein: 2 votes Trump wins outright — This spoiler effect makes
it really imperative to actively vote for Harris if you want to see any kind of
climate action going forward. Republicans know this, which is why they’re the
ones funding the Green Party

And that’s why the European Greens want Jill Stein to step down now — they get
that what she’s doing is making it easier to elect a fascist bent on
environmental destruction.
Seem like not endorsing the government or the blue party will get you banned for trolling at climate@slrpnk.net
And this will never happen in the US, which is in dire need of an election reform.
