Hey guy you're really nice about Jilly Steinberg and your attitude w/r/t the greens but she came out the gate slingin' mud against my man bernie using the tried and true tactic of being a jaded old liberal crying about establishment politics and if she's changed her tune its only because a big chunk of her base got pretty mad at her for it.

I've never voted Green in a presidential election, but I have in local elections. So I am sympathetic, BUT... GMOs and healing crystals aside, I simply don't believe that the current system will allow for a third party to become viable until the Republicans have been a permanent minority for so long that the backers give up and start over. That or the Democrats take over the whole shebang and end up splitting in two. Over the past few decades the big two have been getting more powerful, to the point where they're as much an entrenched part of our elections as the electoral college. For example, until the late 80's televised debates were run by the League of Women Voters - an independent organization. However, the Commission on Presidential Debates took over - an organization created explicitly by Democrats and Republicans as a way to make their candidates look good. So now we get to hear about candidates being forbidden to participate in "unsanctioned" debates, whereas in the past it wasn't up to party insiders to determine what constituted an appropriate venue. We've been complaining about Debbie Wasserman-Schultz because of her autocratic decrees, but she's part of a larger trend to let the parties have tighter control on the whole affair. In between this and the consolidation of "journalism" into an entertainment industry run by a handful of corporations, there is no room for third party candidates in the US. This is why Bernie isn't running as an independent - that's not how this works, and wishing won't make it so.

Jill Stein spoke last month with Tabetha Wallace and Tyrel Ventura on their "Watching the Hawks" show on RT America. Stein talks about the legal action being taken by the Green Party and others against the Commission on Presidential Debates, challenging the Commission's de facto policy of excluding all candidates from their debates who are not either Democratic or Republican candidates. I think Stein does a really good job of challenging the 2-party system and challenging the legitimacy of the so-called "democratic" process through which candidates for high office in the U.S. are nominated and elected. Check out the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FG5BnBod2g Kudos to the staff of RT America for their willingness to take Jill Stein seriously as an American political actor and for inviting her to speak on their various shows!

Bernie Sanders does NOT support naturopathy, is not so much anti-nuclear as he is not pro-nuclear, and is nowhere near as anti-GMO as the Green Party, who want a loving moratorium on them until they're proven safe, despite the fact that they have, in fact, been proven safe so many times by now it's not even funny.

Your criticisms of the Green Party are totally fair and worth considering, but I still find myself preferring Jill "let's close all overseas U.S. military bases and stop funding the Netanyahu regime" Stein over Bernie "we should keep some U.S. troops in Afghanistan and respect that Israel has serious national security concerns to deal with" Sanders. That said, I do intend to vote for Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primary, if he hasn't dropped out by the time I would have the opportunity to cast such a vote. But the fact that Sanders has stated that he will throw his support behind whoever ends up winning the Democratic nomination raises doubts in my mind about Sanders's sincerity when he states that the United States is in need of a revolutionary transformation.

Jewel Repetition posted:Why, do you think a revolution would only happen through accelerationism? I just have major doubts regarding the U.S. Democratic Party's potential to function as a vehicle for revolutionary transformation. It'll be great if Bernie Sanders can prove me wrong, but I also think it's a bummer that he apparently subscribes to the "lesser-evilism"/"politics of fear" mentality. Looking at Barack Obama's presidency, especially when Democrats controlled both the Presidency and both houses of Congress from 2009-2011, it really seems to me that profound revolutionary social transformations can't reasonably be expected to come from within the corporate-controlled D vs R two-party system.

Sorry to double-post, but I think this attached photo of Jill Stein with George Galloway and Ray McGovern, originally tweeted by George Galloway, is worth a thread bump for! The hat that I wore to the event where I met Jill Stein was totally inspired by George Galloway! Apparently these three heroes met each other at an event hosted by global news network RT, celebrating 10 years of RT being on the air!

My theory is that cable news was already so corrupt and biased that literal propaganda (from the Kremlin no less) no longer looks substantially different.

Jill Stein's foreign policy positions are a huge reason why Sanders supporters should become Stein supporters if and when Sanders does not receive the Democratic Party's 2016 U.S. Presidential nomination!

Bernie Sanders praised holistic and alternative health care Monday as he introduced a Veterans Health Administration official to doctors and nurses in Burlington. ... quote:The second significant loss is in the Senate Committee on Veterans' affairs. The current chair is Bernie Sanders, the independent from Vermont. Sanders's advocacy of complementary and alternative medicine is such that in January 1996 he brought all of the state's stakeholders together for a three-day conference on the topic. He kickstarted what is the nation's most robust embrace of integrative care. Emblematic of the integrative milieu in Vermont, naturopathic physicians are part of the state's primary care matrix, covered under Medicaid and trusted as stewards of patient centered medical homes

point of return posted:support of Russian imperialism is a bad policy position and bernie sanders is better for not having it Nah, there's one empire dominating this world and it's the United States. The Russian Federation is a major actor within a global revolutionary alliance to hasten the decline of the U.S. empire's unipolar domination over the entire world. The United States has several hundred American military bases in countries outside of the U.S., whereas Russia has no more than a dozen Russian military bases outside of Russia. The Russian Federation does not aspire to dominate the world to the extent that the U.S. empire currently dominates the world. The United States is a world-dominating war empire and the greatest purveyor of violence on the planet. The rise of coalitions of countries whose governments are willing to try to stand up against U.S. world domination should be encouraged. And Jill Stein's unflinching opposition to the Netanyahu regime, her opposition to NATO expansion, and her fervent calls for the U.S. to dramatically downsize its military and shut down overseas American military bases make her a better presidential candidate than Bernie Sanders.
