    Well, Republicans are actively opposed to those things. And Democrats need enough support to enact those things.

    It’s frustrating for Dems too. And it’s more frustrating when people like Jill Stein make it harder. She should join the party instead of fighting it. But I guess this makes her feel better. She can dislike the system, but things are going to get worse if Republicans win. Just like things got worse in 2016.

      It’s easy to see why it’s frustrating, but frustration isn’t a reason to surrender to a broken system.

      Jill Stein, like many of us, refuses to be another cog in a machine that perpetuates inequality and injustice. Joining a party that continually lets down the very people it claims to represent isn’t the solution—it’s the problem.

      Things got worse in 2016 because the Democrats failed to inspire real change, and repeating the same failed strategy won’t protect us from the Republicans or bring about the progress we desperately need.
