    No advocacy group against First Past The Post voting? Isn’t the biggest concern witj Jill stein running is that she “is going to steal votes from the democrats”? Attack the problem at its source, the FPTP voting system.

    When we get to use a more representative voting system, people would be free to vote for Jill stein; secure in the knowledge their vote would still be cast against the republicans if she didn’t win.

    Don’t the democrats want to beat the Republicans any ways they can? Why is the DNC saying no to more votes? Don’t democrats believe in democracy? Who could possibly say no to more democracy?

      Democrats have no interest in democracy or anything that weakens their corporate power, like rcv/star/democratic voting methods.

        I don’t think that’s true of all Democrats. Have there not been progressives pushing for alternative voting methods?

          Almost entirely signal boosted as proof of a carrot that both will most likely never arrive, and most likely won’t change anything even if it did arrive. There’s a large difference between individuals pushing for something and them actually managing to get them passed at a scale that matters.

    Their org page has all the trappings of a typical Dem “think tank” / trough feeder org. Looking to get in in that sweet graft.

    Surely the Russians aren’t funding an anti-Jill Stein campaign AND the Jill Stein campaign.

      Well of the two candidates, Harris actually receives untraceable funding, and no Russian funds have been linked to stein.

    Of course I am an Adult Gen Z. I am certainly NOT 3 shriveled boomers in a trench coat.

          To be fair, you can advocate for a group you aren’t a part of. I advocate for LGBTQIA rights and I’m none of those.

          That’s not an inherent red flag.

            Their website is full of language implying it is about Gen Zers standing up for themselves. Lots of We’s and US’s.
