maybe 5 or so reasons to consider the green party?

in #election20168 years ago (edited)

0. tells it like it is? "..Green Party's Jill Stein: What We Fear from Donald Trump, We Have Already Seen from Hillary Clinton..": 

1. trying to represent people, not influence peddlers?

"..Green Party does not accept donations from corporations, political action committees (PACs), 527(c) organizations or soft money. The party's platforms and rhetoric harshly criticize any corporate influence and control over government, media, and society at large..": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Party_of_the_United_States

2. has a real plan? cancel all student debt?

"..create 20 million jobs and prevent climate crisis ..voluntary, unenforceable pledges are entirely insufficient..": http://www.jill2016.com/greennewdeal

3. plays well with others? speakers include representatives from SA, PSL, ISO, Green, WWP and other activists, "..Jeff Mackler, Socialist Action candidate ..Cedric O’Bannon, filmmaker ..stabbing victim at Sacramento white supremacist rally ..Gerald Smith ..anti-racist activist ..Estevan Hernández ..Party for Socialism and Liberation ..Alex Schmaus, International Socialist Organization ..John Torok ..Green Party ..for Jill Stein for President campaign ..John Parker, Peace and Freedom Party candidate for U.S. Senate/California; representing Monica Moorhead, Workers World candidate for President..":

4. starts lists with zero instead of one?

Sort:  

i don't usually go with the ad homonym right off the bat but Jill Stein, in my humble opinion is a globalist shill. 9 feet of sea level rise? sea level is actually dropping. of course it is soros funded democracynow! we don't have a democracy. this is supposed to be a republic. socialism is doing such terrible things in venezuela. i listened to and supported democracynow! for 7 years, then i found out where their money comes from. never again. jill stein won't fix anything. neither will the others but socialism fails every time and makes the biggest piles of bodies compared to any other system ever tried. ever. the USSR killed at least twice what hitler did. the historical proof speaks for itself. please reconsider supporting this madness. if i can do anything to provide you with data, evidence or any information to help, please, let me know.
one example of socialism is a book, The Gulag Archipelago by Alexander Solzhenitsyn

no homeless people in cuba, "..The Power of Community. How Cuba Survived Peak Oil..":

peak oil production is an engineered occurrence, and not an undertaking of necessity. we are not running out of oil. we are shutting down production. this is deliberate. that is not to say that the continuing use of oil is necessary.

"..socialist DPRK guarantees all its people an education, health care and housing, as well as a job..":
http://www.workers.org/articles/2013/03/19/puncturing-the-lies-and-hypocrisy-about-north-korea/

there is a difference between guarantees and requires. if you really believe this, then there is nothing i can do to dissuade you. the "information" in these videos/articles are several layers deep in spin. i am not saying the west does not have problems. the idea that these places are utopian paradises is a question for the dead. next you will be telling me that Pol Pot was a man of the people.

"..USSR ..rich, secure, cultured and meaningful lives ..whole country ..to serve our interests ..didn't realize what we had until we lost it ..recommend ..Harpal Brar's book "Perestroika, the complete collapse of revisionism"..":

"..Stalin Society ..refute capitalist, revisionist, opportunist and Trotskyist propaganda..":

"..we enjoy our ideology to step out of ideology, it hurts, you must force yourself.. freedom hurts.. Analysis of "They Live" on the documentary "A Pervert's Guide to Ideology"..":

i would absolutely NEVER move to ANY of these places. clearly you have never read anything about the death toll of these experiments. using a clip from "they live" is not going to inspire me to a red pill moment. i am not arguing that things here can not be better. under communism, however, conditions for humanity can rarely get worse. transcend the false choices that you have been sold. the deep trauma caused to the many people that i, personally, know, by growing up under communism, is lesson enough for me. i have my own traumas but would trade places with none of the people, that i know, who grew up in these hells. individual witnesses do not constitute government propaganda. i am sorry that you have willingly bought the lies you have been sold, but i see now, there is nothing i can do. i wish you well. good luck.
