Even mice can learn new things.

You shouldn’t expect me to waste time reading paragraphs after you’ve demonstrated your shallow understanding, kiddo.

You’ve invalidated my reasoning. Luckily, I can keep repeating my ageism.

Good luck with that, kiddo.

Revenue is quite an oversimplification of geopolitics in a heavily interdependent economic paradigm, kiddo.

Of course not. The Democrats rely on the military industrial complex to pay the bills, just as the Republicans do. Neither is so stupid as to shit where they eat. Only Trump is that dumb.

Stein sucks. She’s there because she pays Executive Committee bills. No one votes Green for candidate as that candidate can’t win. They hope 5% vote Green, which would put their platform on every ballot in 2028, which would attract a quality candidate to represent it. There was an influx of new persons during COVID. Now, the masses must be inoculated with propaganda such that it cannot happen again when the DNC compromises everything they’ve promised us to suit corporate donors, once again.

I perceive its appeal to MLK’s “white moderate”.

Your intent is clear. You’ve still not asked for mine. You’ve assumed it in false dichotomy, even when told otherwise. Is this “good faith”?

Inclusion implies that if she’d not been targeted then she’d not have spoken up.

This poster assumed bad faith maliciousness instead of asking questions. They can’t tell friend from foe. But, they’ve certainly lots of words to express the status quo reasoning prevalent among you.

I choose to vote to influence the 2028 POTUS election. But, you’re not asking. Assume what you wish.

Assuming disagreement and bad faith is even worse than assuming me and idiot, particularly when you’re not asking any questions.

Now that the main glut of whatever has passed, I want to express that your post above, particularly your question, made my day. It’s perhaps the best question I’ve been asked engaging with .world. Thank you.

Is perpetuating false dichotomy?

You’re assuming I’m dumb. That’s an error.

I’m also a triple minority. I’m not afraid of Trump. I’ve suffered his kind my whole life.

Perhaps the way to progress is to put the platform you want on every Presidential ballot in 2028. You know how that’s done, right?

“Don’t vote for the shit candidate” otoh is reasonable

I agree. That’s why I won’t vote for Trump, Harris, or anyone else that funds their campaigns with corporate money.

She stated in her post a major motivation for her was the fake AI pictures Trump and Co circulated a few weekss ago

That’s definitely a part she should’ve left out.

She’s at least as qualified as one of the candidates to have a perspective

Your measure of merit is “relative to shit”.

I strongly question the judgement of anyone who questions the judgement of someone advising voting against Trump.

You don’t care for facts and reason, only agreement.

That’s not a perspective that deserves respect.

Is there any reason her perspective should not have any value but yours and mine should?

She provides nearly no reasoning for her perspective.

Furthermore, if someone does know who she is and wants to also take into account that they admire her music and songwriting, her personality, her perspective, and/or her various life accomplishments, why shouldn’t they?

She’s rich, a marketed character. She shouldn’t be trusted by default.

We’re talking about politics here, where everyone is making it up as they go along. She’s not trying to use her celebrity status to get a paper published in a physics journal or something.

This ridiculous comparison, and being outright incorrect in it, is why your questions weren’t answered. I’ve rectified that.

And yet your thesis is that there’s no reason to place any value on what she says?

No reason? I didn’t say that. I said the implied reasons to value her perspective aren’t meritable.

Now that I’ve read her post I find I was entirely correct. She’s chosen what’s safe, politic, and popular: conclusions without reasoning. She could’ve risked what her conscience should’ve told her was correct. But, she predictably didn’t.
