We abandoned pre-X Twitter in disgust because it censored a "Blues lyric" / love poem (https://la-granota.com/blogs/index.php/2022/05/07/score/#comment-102) by Emilie (90) to Wilhelmina (94). Ageism & lesbophobia SUCK!

If you're one of those who boast "I've voted Labour my whole adult life!", you should take a good look at what Labour has now become.
Voting Green (or leftist Independent) doesn't make you a traitor to the cause.

If Jill Stein does particularly well in November, maybe there will be a chance to break the 2-party stranglehold in the USA, as well. Maybe in the 2026 midterms, maybe in '28.
For that hope alone, it's worth voting for her. Ditto for other anti-genocide candidates, e.g. Claudia&Karina, Cornel West
