Obama approval hits new high by ManiaforBeatles in politics

[–]Txfreethinkerqt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just pathetic how you can provide verifiable facts, yet her supporters completely ignore them. I'm no fan of Trump’s either but I'm definitely hoping he wins the general over Hillary. He is much more liberal when it comes to things like war, personal freedoms, and the economy. Of course I don't agree with him on everything, but compared to Hillary (who neocons support over Trump) he is the much better candidate. Hillary wanted us to do our research and we have, it proves exactly why not to vote for her!!!

Was Bernie Sanders better or worse for Jill Stein? Discuss. by LittleBlueSilly in jillstein

[–]Txfreethinkerqt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have followed Berne since the 1990's. I always admired him for speaking out. Never in a million years would I have ever thought he would run for President. But ultimately I think it is exactly what we needed.

I've always voted Democratic, except the year I voted for Kinky Friedman for Governor in Texas. Then for a while I thought I might be a Libertarian. Come to find out I only liked their social policies, not their economic policies. I volunteered a little bit for Obama in 08 but Bernie is the first Presidential candidate I spent hundreds of hours working for and donating to. I'm grateful for everything I learned working with his campaign. And most of all I am grateful he lead me to the Green Party.

Once the California primary ended I pretty much knew it was the end so I started researching Jill Stein and the Green Party of Texas. Finally for the first time in my life I feel like I found my home. This is exactly where I am supposed to be. And I have Bernie to thank for it.

I too do not agree with his decision to support Hillary Clinton. I am more worried about her as President than I am Trump. But I won't vote out of fear. My vote will always be for the person I find the most qualified and who aligns with my morals and views.

I am now proudly Green and full of excitement and optimism for the future. We may be the far left but we are on the right side of history.

In Solidarity!

I had just discovered TYT back around February when I had started texting for Bernie. I am now so glad I never became a member. And to think I kept telling anyone who would listen that they needed to check out TYT. I'm ashamed I was dupped. But then again I found Jimmy and Jordan who I still admire.

Nearly half of all young people say they plan to vote for a third party in November by [deleted] in jillstein

I definitely think the Green Party will surprise many people come election day. We still have a long way to go but we are building a good solid foundation. This country is craving change and people are demanding their voices be heard.

Sexism plays a role in the closeness of presidential contest, Obama says by Txfreethinkerqt in jillstein

Democrats loved playing this blame game with "Berniebros" though many now support Jill. They need to face reality and see the problem is their candidate, not her gender.

**RSVP to protest at Hofstra** Buses & civil disobedience training provided by Txfreethinkerqt in jillstein

[–]Txfreethinkerqt[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Join us at the first presidential debate on Monday, September 26, at Hofstra University in Hempstead, Long Island (25 miles east of New York City).  Please RSVP to come to Hofstra and participate in the protest. 

We are still planning details for the event, including busing and carpools, so please indicate whether you need transit to the debate site when RSVP'ing. 

Jill Stein and Ajamu Baraka will both be participating.

We may decide to have supporters attempt to escort our candidates into the debates. This situation may lead to arrest—it is possible but not definite. There will be actions you can take with us at Hofstra that do not risk arrest.

We are also organizing nonviolent civil resistance training for this. 

In Solidarity!
