University of Wisconsin-Madison Elections Research Center Director Barry Burden …
predicted Stein may not earn as many votes in 2024 as she did in 2016 when she “benefitted from progressives’s dissatisfaction with the political establishment,” particularly now that demographic appears “newly energized by the Harris campaign.”So the article points out both a hope for Harris supporters and also a valid counterargument to their strategy of trying to keep Stein off the ballot.
“This election is different than 2016,” a longtime Michigan Democratic activist told the Washington Examiner. “Both Stein and West are threats to Harris in Michigan because they are appealing to Arab American voters upset over the Biden administration’s Middle East policy to vote for them rather than Harris.”
“Studies of Stein voters show that many of them would have not voted or would have supported Trump had the Green Party candidate not been on the ballot,” Burden said. “Memories of 2016 also ignore that the Libertarian ticket drew even more votes than Stein and probably hurt Trump more than Stein hurt Clinton.”
I.e. in other words, instead of trying to keep Stein off the ballot (and offending these folks into staying home and not voting) Dems would be better off actually trying to win these folks votes by engaging with them and trying to give them what they want.
So again, hope for the Harris campaign, especially with the recent endorsement of Emgage Action, that these voters can still be won over at the last minute.

Exactly!

You’re slowing down a bit buddy!
In the 447 days that the @SatansMaggotyCumFart account has been active, it has made eight thousand two hundred and ten submissions to Lemmy, which is on average eighteen posts every single day.
And they’re almost all upvoted!
You care about upvotes. I do not. :)
That’s obvious.
Good.
I’ve just posted more stuff, so please update the stats for everyone. Thank you!
You guys are really slacking today, you’ll never get your eighty submissions.

I don’t know what you mean. What “guys” are you talking about?

I love that pretty universally people recognize it, and deftly pull up
It’s a pretty transparent ruse.

I’d love to see this person maintain this energy after the election. I seriously doubt it.
In fairness, there won’t be much to post on in this area of topics once the next President-elect becomes the next sitting President.
What I’ll be keeping an eye on is if this person posts after the election but before the inauguration, say regarding the news on recount events and such. Remember how long Stein stayed in the news back in 2016 because of the recounts?
Sorry, friend, I’m here for the long haul. Also, what the poster who posts my stats ever day ALWAYS neglects to say, is that the vast majority of my posts are for Socialist causes. Feel free to look at the communities where I post the most. Which are going to be here way beyond the election. :)
But why do you think I would suddenly lose energy after an election?
Was I talking to YOU? Please Re-read my very first reply to you and maybe that will jog your memory, HINT…your first day on here.
See you in 2025 Homie!
Was I talking to YOU?
I don’t know. Were you?
I’ll sill be here in 2025, though. Thank you!
Yeah I have a feeling that they are going to disappear after November 5th.
No you don’t. You are just trying to mock and sow doubt. But you of all people, know that I’m not going away. Your mocking, you posting stats of me daily, etc, none of it has changed my mind on anything at all. I laugh everytime you post. So please don’t stop! :)
I’m not trying to mock you.
Dude, it’s not working. I’m not gonna stop. :)
Me not trying to mock you guys isn’t working?
Does that mean I’m mocking you, then?
I don’t know what you mean. What “guys” are you talking about?
Not to worry. They’ll reappear a few months before the next election cycle.

What makes you think I would only post before an election? Weird thing to say.
And best of all, almost all of them (the posts) are on communities that they made themselves.

Which have nothing to do with Jill Stein. The most posts I make are to my Socialist communities.
And since you seem to disregard the communities I made myself, then you don’t have to worry about anything I have to say. So see how that works? :)
Because you deleted your Jill Stein stan cums.
But wait, you thought I’m gonna vote for Jill Stein. Why would I delete that community if I were gonna vote for her?
Clinton’s mistake was campaigning in Texas instead of Michigan, not ‘not punching left enough’.
If you want to win over green voters, maybe run on some of the popular things that the greens are running on instead of guilt tripping.
If you want a third party to not get hate, maybe don’t vote for them and ask them not to be so horrible.
