I’m interested to see what lemmy thinks of this, I honestly haven’t kept track of the potential options.

    A non-duopoly choice is a 3rd Party candidate, Jill Stien, Green Party.

    Reading her platform, I’d say it’s a no go for me.

    Two bullet points back to back are “Have the UN Security Council hold Israel accountable” and at the same time “end the UN Security Council”. So which is it, use the UNSC to hold Israel accountable or the UNSC is a bad thing?

    Also on her platform, disband NATO and stop giving Ukraine aid. If we do this, then Ukraine and Russia will just hug it out and everyone will be happy. A few unrealistic things like this where it’s way too optimistic and paves the way for things to go horribly wrong.

    Then there are the good intentions, but bad consequences ideas. Pay reparations to third world countries for climate. Historically, “just dump money and resources” has been tried and you just give those to regional warlords that will make things worse. Need a more thought out engagement plan than that.

    Broadly some decent domestic policy goals, but pretty impractical foreign policy ideas.
