The Green Party hasn’t even succeeded in having a candidate elected to the U.S. House of Representatives — they show up for presidential elections, and that’s about it. They don’t do much work in the “off-season.” A vote for the presidential candidate of the Green Party at this point is a protest vote. The Republican Party is an existential threat to many groups of people; a protest vote in light of that threat is simply inaction in the face of having the privilege to not be targeted, and it only helps the oppressor.
The reason third parties don’t succeed is because they are often vanity projects with little work done in the “off-season.” For example, the Green Party: sucks thousands of votes away during presidential elections, but is yet to have elected a single person to the House of Representatives.
If you’re squeamish about supporting an individual candidate, at least get involved in voter protection efforts.
You shot out of the gates with an absolutist position. That’s one reason why it sounds like you’re rage-baiting.
conservatives have called for cutting ties to Ukraine, which has received hundreds of billions of dollars from the Biden administration in aid and weapons. They argue the money would be better spent in the U.S.
A duplicitous, bullshit argument — they have no desire to provide basic, social services.
It’s difficult to overstate how disastrous a ruling in this case going the other way could have been, on top of the corrupting influence of large amounts of money already involved in politics and how gerrymandered districts already are.
I just went to see what Kbin was about. The first search result was to a subreddit about it, except Reddit appears to be trying to block access to that subreddit by mobile users. I had to “Request Desktop Site” on my iPhone to get around it.
Oh, absolutely! I was just trying to add to the discourse.
I tried that, but I couldn’t get it to work. Oh well, two accounts won’t kill me.
I'm not a lawyer elsewhere in the world, but the United States has a very specific and very narrow definition for what is considered "treason." Article III, § 3 of the Constitution states that
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort . . . .
I'm not an expert in this area, but from some legal analysis I've come across, another hurdle to convicting on treason is that in order to have an "enemy," there needs to be an official declaration of war.
Having worked in somewhat proximity to her, I can say that everyone already knew she was working for the Republicans, so it really wasn’t a surprise. In all likelihood, this is a gambit because she knew she would be primaried if she ran as a Democrat again (her positions were that obtuse).
