  • Just because Labour wasn’t in power doesn’t mean people weren’t unhappy with them. I remember watching the news interviews at the time, and some of the people who voted to Exit said they didn’t really want to Exit they just wanted to put out a protest vote against Corbyn. Also, polls showed at the time that only 52% of Labour voters thought Labour was in favor of Remain, so there was generally bad messaging by Labour.

    Look, you can argue that the single issue is so important it should take precedence, but the end result of not voting for Harris means… even more genocide! So go ahead and single issue vote on something that will get you more of what you don’t want. Anyone voting for Stein in a swing state is either someone who gains something from the 3rd party getting more votes, or is someone who doesn’t understand the implications of a Trump presidency. If you live in CA or AL or OK or NY, sure, protest against Harris.

    Also, I like how you blame the Democrats for Trump winning when the people actually voted. The people deserve some blame for the consequence of their actions. Yes, Clinton was a shitty candidate who I predicted losing because everyone hates her so much… but in the end there were a lot of people who are now worse off because they decided it would be better to vote for Stein.
