Is there any third party that talks about what majority of Americans want?

Absolutely

Libertarian is about as close as it gets honestly.

Most likely. But it damn sure ain't Jill Stein

I’d say so, but can’t think of any recently that did.

The problem with 3rd party candidates is funding. They get drowned out by the media machine from the major parties.

Which is why we need to get corporate money out of politics. Democrats and republicans get massive donations from businesses to do their bidding and they use that money to suppress any opposition.

Which is also why I say until there are massive changes to the current system we only have two parties to choose from. At least on a national and state level. It’s easier in a House race because it’s much more local with a smaller voting population.

It's funding and it's the idea that in some folks minds 3rd party is portrayed as somebody who either has radical ideas or only shows their face every 4 years during the presidential election.

 

[SeaSnake]

Absolutely

Not even being funny but who. Only ones I’ve heard about or seen on a ballot was green in libertarian

More like a NES vs. one of these…

But it’s the late 90’s so neither are that great, but one is definitely more preferable.

One is in your face, the other one is sneaky, snake-ish

Both of aint shit, equally.

Both parties don't give 2 shits about black folks

Have you ever just voted for someone that wasn't a dem or rep in anything?

Let's be honest and keep it a 1000 killa, a 3rd party could be running but you (you) not going to read up on them.

Jill Stein ran, all I ask you, with her policies that she talked about or ran on,

Could you explain, how much better or if better were Kamala's policies, Joe Biden's polices, Trump's polices, better than Jill?

 

[SeaSnake]

I didn’t vote until 2008 presidential election. I voted Obama. When it came to local elections always voted Bobby Scott(D). Never voted Green Party or libertarian.

Jill Stein is cool. I don’t disagree with any of her policies.back when I researched them. I like Green Party ideals over everything. But I’m guilty of viewing it as a wasted vote because it won’t lead to victory.

I can respect that and your honesty.

I wouldn't view it as a wasted voted. It's your vote and you have that right to vote for anybody if you choose to or not. Be Free and take ownership killa.

That's what I will tell you champ.

Jill Stein whole layout was better than Kamala, Joe, and Trump's all combined. 1st step is getting her into office, or that person into office. They can't get into office if they don't get the support

Jill Stein ran on a better platform than Kamala, Trump, Biden all combined. She addressed a lot of things that would have helped a lot of folks especially FBAS.

Also, corporate dollars does what? Let's say the Dems candidate gets 1 trillion dollars, and let's say that the Reps candidate get 1 trillion dollars. That money is for them to be in the voters faces, kissing babies, booking rappers, and appearing on Good morning America and running Ads. True or False?

All it takes for 1 to present a fire policy plan (like Jill did) for you to vote. or the voter actually doing their own research.

The whole corporate money is a cop-out. You as an individual choose your candidate based on the needs for your group, (well that's how every other group does it)

Costco Corporate money dollars, or Wal Mart has no barring's on Hector or Kisha going down to the voting booth and voting for Trump

Let's dumb it down and strip back what you're saying about corporate dollars

If you ran for Class President back in High School, did you have to raise money for it? or would one win off "popularity" or off of the shit that you would be running your campaign on?

Now let's add in the money feature (Donors/Corporate dollars)

Let's say you and I ran for Class President (on a smaller scale) and let's say you raised 6,000 dollars, folks gave donation, local vendors from around the town, you had t-shirts, radio ads, and you appeared on the morning news.

Let's say I raised 6 dollars, I turned away donations, but my only speech to the class was when our debate came was that, I would offer them longer recess, longer lunch time, better food and less homework, a better homecoming dance, prom and graduation/skip day setup. That's what I told the class/students, these are my policies.

Let's say you told the class that you would only focus on making classrooms bigger and you would seek to getting more study hours pushed. You pushed these policies.

How does that 6,000 dollars you raised or had donated to you help with you winning the election? vs what my platform is on?

There’s a few things you’re not considering in your posts. Most of the people in the US don’t pay close attention to politics. So when you say just have fire policies, most Americans aren’t even paying attention to the policy platform, just sound bites that each candidate says they’ll do. Kamala had a vastly better platform than Trump and we were in here arguing whether she was black, smh. Or tearing her down for not promising reparations.

Then, for those same Americans, all they’ll see in media are ads form democrats and republicans because they have the money to run damn near 24/7 ads. 3rd party candidates might slip in an ad here or there, but they’re drowned out.

And as far as debates, same thing. Most Americans aren’t even checking for the debates. So all they’ll get is the left wing or right wing media spin.

So yes, money plays a huge part in who wins because all you need is the attention of the low information voter, which most Americans are, and feed them snazzy soundbites.

Janet Jackson questioned if she was black, there were plenty of folks outside of this forum to question her blackness, and they have every right to do so. Just like you questioned the things you do about Trump during that time,
If the voters who wanted her to speak on reparation or make an effort or whatever they wanted her to do, and she didn't do it, they have every right to tear her down. You shaming them or getting mad at them won't do a thing bro. I really wish you all stop that.

If all a voter want is reparation and it's 30 million folks that want reparations to be done and she can't do it, then she won't get their vote. You calling them whatever won't change those folks mind. Your candidate needs to adjust and listen to what the people want if she wants to win.

She needs their votes, not the other way around bro. I think this where you seem to have a problem with. She needs their votes to stay alive in the race.

If an American is paying attention off "sound bites" or headlines then that's an issue within itself to begin with. Kamala and Trump policies, you can combine them together and both weren't better than Jill Stein's polices.

And you in here talking down on her just because she is with the Green Party instead of supporting her. Her stance was better than the candidate that you are in here cheering for.

Nobody's watching TV 24/7 and most folks get their information online. On online it's fair game. You can follow who you wanna follow. I don't buy the whole runnin of the Ads, 24/7 because most folks don't have cable and most folks like I said get their information off the internet, like you currently do. Twitter, Ticktok IG

Many Americans watched the Trump and Joe Debate, the next morning it was a big talking point, many Americans watched the Trump vs Kamala debate.

The debate is on dayum near every local channel station and it's being broadcasted on social media platforms? What is you talking about?

Like I said, Money does NOT play a huge part in who gets what votes. Money only helps the candidate appear more in front of the voter.

It comes down to the voter choice, Not the money from Costco, WalMart or Cisco. Their money doesn't walk into the voting booth machine and makes you choose your vote.

Folks read and listen to what candidates say about what they will and won't do. That's the bottom line.

Drowned out? Huh?

If a 3rd party candidate ad comes on TV (let's go with what you're saying) or on the radio and he or she says in the ad, "I'ma give every black american 40,000 dollars and 40 acres of land.

Do you think that will be drowned out??

That ad can run 1 time and those dems and reps ads can run 100 times a day, do you think that ad that said something about the 40k and 40 acres of land will be drown out??

Folks hear what they wanna hear.

Jill Stein was on the Breakfast Club and there was a thread in it.....If you have time, go into that thread and count the number of negative post that was stated in that thread. Post that were down-playing what she said and for what reason?
