So Jill Stein has an ACTUAL black agenda on her website. Why can’t we vote 3rd party?

Look at this shyt:




It says Reparations in big bold letters:

REPARATIONS AND THE AGENDA TO FACILITATE BLACK LIBERATION​

A Jill Stein Administration will guarantee as a human right reparations to the descendants of African slaves for the historic crime of enslavement. Reparations is a cornerstone of the Black Agenda, but reparations is far from the only policy needed to begin to redress what has been stolen from the Black community over 400+ years.

Scholars and activists who have studied and formulated propositions for Reparations itself have put the minimum cash value of reparations at $12 trillion, to be paid to those who claim legitimate descendancy from enslaved Blacks prior to the Civil War. This number is derived not only from the stolen labor prior to 1865, but also from the reneged promise of Field Order 15, commonly referred to as “40 acres and a mule”, which was never made good upon.

We don’t need any further debate on whether reparations should be paid. They should, without question, as they were in 1988 to those impacted by WWII Japanese internment camps. The Stein administration will confer with Black community leaders on who qualifies, how they qualify (historical records exist), how much they will be paid in cash, and how those payments will be made.

There are other policies essential to the overall Black Agenda, as slavery was not the only historic crime against the Black community in America. We recognize both historic and existing racism in America, While it has been addressed in legislation such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964, to this day an end to systemic racism has never been realized. Many of these essential policies, such as universal healthcare, immigration, policing, and free public college education, are addressed in other areas of this platform. Furthermore
, it should be noted that the Black Agenda is a progressive agenda.

I hate to break it to you pal, you're about to be called a c00n and be accused of wanting Trump to win.

I wouldn't call him a c00n for voting for a party (Green) that's not a serious party and a politician (Stein) who uses it to bankroll her lifestyle on top of getting favors from overseas influence.



If the Greens were serious, you'd see them pop up more than just every four years.

Let's get Trump out the paint and then vote on ideology.

Real issue is that voting for her isn't helpful if you're not voting 3rd party downballot. They gotta get wins in local and state elections first. THEN.....you get more folks elected to Congress. Voting for Jill Stein gets DJT elected and does not get us any closer to tangibles.

Are the Dems gonna pander to us more if we vote GOP or 3rd party? Maybe.

Will they be able to pass any legislation that is 100% pro-Black? No.

Hence why you gotta get people elected at the Congressional level so shyt can actually get done.

That's an excuse that people have been using for years now. Kicking the can down the road only to juelze when the idea of more than a two party system is brought up again.

People love always bringing up how certain rules and policies that the Founding Father created being out of date, but will juelze and bytch anytime someone brings up the idea and talking point of there needing to be more than a two party system.

People like the idea of change, but don't truly care to do anything about it.

You can especially if you're not in a swing state.

But the Greens don't really full on run down ballot. So they don't really coalesce a power base. So the best you're doing is getting them to 5% for better funding and at worse electing Trump in a swing state.
