Good for you. Be free. But keep VotePact in mind -- you can be a "matchmaker" for other people who don't have the courage to do it all on their own. Pair up would be Biden and Trump voters to be free as well.
There is no better candidate for the greens and libertarians to rally around than US Rep. from Kentucky Thomas Massie, a sane MIT-trained engineer who built his family's off-the-grid house himself. Married his high-school sweetheart who is also a MIT engineer. Massie is Abe Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson rolled into one. If our country survives another four years, he's the one. I may even write him in this year.
Bravo Sam. You're absolutely right; on so many critical issues there's very little distance between them. Sometimes they (Greens and Libertarians) reach the same conclusions for different reasons and of course, sometimes they're at odds. But it's a great idea and I hope there's already discussions between the two parties.
VotePact would facilitate and would be propelled by meaningful dialogue on issues by citizens. This would likely emphasize issues in which the establishment parties have most colluded: constitutional powers, issues of war, corporate-dominated trade, infringement on civil liberties and big money in politics to name a few. Given high negatives of Biden and Trump, there are likely millions of people wanting a path to voting for independent parties. This could in fact constitute a majority. The creative powers of citizens will likely produce “pair ups” that no political consultant could possibly have predicted. This could achieve a steady stream of novel news stories.
You and M Miller made me see it! PROBLEMS (issues) not labels we each have different definitions of so we talk past each other. And POSITIVE FOCUS ONLY - silence removes attention - we see how effective THAT is!
1. State and define PROBLEMS in priority order. Simply and concisely. From voters themselves. Stop wars, peace dividends for us? Health, food, housing, education, personal security, national homeland defense only, open communication, debt free, safe efficient handy public services, etc.
2. State and define solutions. Simply, concisely.
3. Name the candidate to bring SOLUTIONS to PROBLEMS with PUBLIC PARTICIPATION.
4. Dynamic edits as feedback evolves. Assessment/correction loop. Sharpens plans, elicits more engagement: what we've totally been missing.
I'd call this COUP RESISTANCE. What are the bones of the Cuba, Venezuela, Haiti, what other long term models that had real people SUCCESSFULLY defending human rights and suffrage?
"You may decide to write in the name of a candidate who is not listed on your ballot. Learn where to get information on how to write in votes and if they count."
How many people see only two presidential choices? As we're exposed to real life on social media. Months ago I wrote a state press association asking if they'd stand for Assange and got no reply.
PS. Who considers real Semitism? Silly me, when I looked it up, the definition refers to common language, geographic proximity. Palestinians are Semites. European Jews are not. How many Israelis are Semites? Then see H.R.6090 - Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2023. Dangerous and embarrassing. But hey, bipartisan. Luckily I don't think the Senate passed it. Yet.

I think we need one source, to receive all of the votes that can’t and shouldn’t go to either Trump or Biden in order to make a significant difference the green party will be a place to rest for the next four years.
Totally agree with you. I’m voting for Jill Stein.

He’s very important. I have thought of Coleen Rowley.

Indeed. Esp re similar conclusions w different reasons.
Is any media saying Jill Stein's name? How to make them acknowledge this obvious alternative?

And NAME RECOGNITION!
Remember when Lisa Murkowski got voters to spell her name right for their votes to count for that US Senate seat win in AK?
And really, with what popular drink do you associate stein?
The media isn’t even saying genocide or ICJ, they are only tuned into the White House’s antisemitism detector.

MSM doesn't mention Jill Stein for the same reasons there's a Uniparty. Only alternative media (such as Sam's) looks beyond the duopoly.
As you have the best ideas here on Substack or anywhere. The libertarian party is also on the ballot in all states.
