🚨The Vote Socialist campaign is putting socialism on the map!🚨

Thanks to the hard work of thousands of volunteers, the majority of people in this country will see socialism on the ballot this November! Additional official write-in states are still to be announced!

The two-party system makes it incredibly difficult for third party candidates without huge financial resources to access ballots in some states. No matter what status your state is, we encourage supporters to get involved and help build the movement for a future by and for the people beyond the ballot box!

Whether you can donate your money your time, or both β€” we need your help.

Visit πŸ”—http://votesocialist2024.com/volunteer to learn how you can get involved!

are they cool at all?

Jill Stein has aligned herself with anti-vaxxers so I'm gonna have to go with no on that one

This is lib propaganda and is verifiably not true

Edit: To clarify, this misconception stems from REDDIT of all places, it's absolutely false.

As a medical doctor of course I support vaccinations. I have a problem with the FDA being controlled by drug companies. β€” Dr. Jill Stein (@DrJillStein) July 29, 2016

So she just said big farma is corrupting the FDA and libs jus spinned it as anti vaxx? They suck so much

[–] Sickos@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, the actual "she's an antivaxxer" talking point spun out from something like "what do you think about people who don't trust the vaccines?" "You can't expect everyone to trust something developed by big business behind closed doors with minimal oversight" where a snippet was taken out of context and used to push that lie.

I'll see if I can find the actual interaction. This was purely from memory.

Only found references to a reddit AMA from a WaPo article

ah that’s good to know. though I would note it stemmed from a comment by Stein herself in an AMA on reddit, not just random redditors making up conspiracies.

still not voting for her over Claudia & Karina, though.
