What do you think would happen it the Democratic Party in the US made a hard pivot to policies championed by Jill Stein and Bernie Sanders? (lemmy.world)

EDIT: I should clarify, by Jill Stein, I mean what her party's official platform and policies are, as reflected by her statements in interviews

Every four years Jill Stein emerges from her burrow. If she sees her shadow, it will be four more years of fascism.

You can't vote out fascism, fascism is Capitalism in decay and it doesn't care about electoral politics.

And Trump would have won this time around, even if Jill Stein wouldn't have ran. That's how big his margin was. Dude, he won electoral AND popular vote.

You all need to take a look at yourselves and realize why you lost so bad. It sure as fuck wasn't because of Jill Stein. lol

It's not exactly "us." We don't determine whether Kamala runs with an asinine message like "we're going to hire Republicans" or "I wouldn't do anything different than Biden."

That's her stupidity and I think why so many people sat out the election. As the articles are pointing out, the people that sat out the election were in "safe" states, so they were completely uninspired to vote but knew not voting wouldn't have affected the outcome (except locally which is still stupid.)
