The Green Party of England and Wales has voted to recognise Israel's actions in Gaza as a genocide, becoming the first major British political party to do so.

Having made Gaza a prominent plank of its campaign in several areas during the July general election, the party won an unprecedented four seats in parliament.

The motion, which was passed at the party's annual conference on Sunday afternoon, branded Israel's assault on Gaza a "genocide" - and declared support for the Boycott, Divest and Sanctions (BDS) movement

As someone who has previously voted for Stein in a deep blue state, there's no skin in the game for her so she can say whatever she wants. I regret it now because I was still upset about what the DNC did to Bernie in the primary. I just don't understand the viability of a third party besides as a spoiler under the current system (by design I'm sure). Blue MAGA is a thought terminating cliche though, using a broad brush to sweep disagreement aside but you do you.
