That's how a lot are spinning this, and she doesn't endorse anyone (not even third party) because she's pointing to the bigger picture. However, I do think she's subtly weighing the options with the line "With this in mind, my main message to Americans is to remember that you cannot only settle for the least worst option." Read it carefully, along with what follows it about not quitting after a vote.
Vote third party as a message if it makes you feel better, but just like those voting for Harris - you better not stop there.
Message voting in action:
Gore shouldnt have picked Lieberman. That was nuts.
Now show the number of non-voters.
Turnout was only 54.2% nationally; not sure if that number is significantly higher or lower for Florida in particular.
...conversely...
There's no need! Their opinions matter even less than third party voters!
Damn! If only Al Gore had put more effort into campaigning in Florida, or if the Supreme Court didn't put their fingers on the scale.
Also I noticed you didn't throw out the Libertarian party numbers or Reform Party numbers...
when is greta coming out as a commie
Nothing wrong with being a commie
hear hear
She's Swedish, so she comes from one of the better systems of government and social welfare there is. What could communism give her that's better? At least you didn't use the socialist label, because then I'd just have to point out she already is one.
the not destruction of the planet, and the not oppressing of the third world to have what they do. sweden is not socialist.
Commies are generally wonderful people. Its the governments that are the issue same as in capitalist societies.
Most governments seek centralization, which makes them prone to corruption. Which is how they fail.
eh, commie governments seem to do much better than capitalist ones
