There isnt only one valid perspective that is “better for the US”. The only ones we know are wrong are the current one, because clearly bad shit happens as a result.
While you think she’s a spoiler, I don’t think she thinks that. I think she thinks she is helping America, truly. Its one thing to disagree with her methods or policies, but quite another to throw shit on her for sitting at a table with Putin once. I don’t think she is selling herself out.
I am sure she won’t win, but I think that it helps broaden the discussion on what politics can be in the future, even if its just a bunch of people from different corners arguing about it.
At her own events her supporters didn’t say the quiet parts out loud. For example, at a Jill Stein Event, Kshama Sawant said:
We are not in a position to win the White House, but we do have a real opportunity to win something historic, we could deny Kamala Harris the state of Michigan. And the polls show that most likely Harris cannot win the election without Michigan.
She wasn’t hiring Republican consulting firms
She didn’t hire Trumps former personal lawyer, Jay Sekulow, and Michael Dean, who was part of the effort to overturn the 2020 election.
She didn’t use long standing republican firms to collect signatures, like she did with Synapse Group in NH.
She wasn’t targeting specifically the battleground states to appear on their ballot while ignoring others
At best, she’s working to republican advantage. But with everything else…
She’s not broadening jack, she’s there to get Trump elected. There are far too many items that show as much.
So no. I’m not going to sit here while someone “hurr durr good conversation”. Bullshit. Complete bullshit, she has one purpose, and one only, or she wouldn’t be doing the things shes doing.
I wouldnt work with anyone who ever was near trump either.
Spoiling michigan would be a win for them because the democrats would rather ignore the green party. The whole point of the green party is to affect change in the democrat party. Yes they are going after democrats They are trying to convert democrats who aren’t aware of our countries shortcomings internationally.
They don’t expect to win the presidential office, they expect to affect change within the democrat party by giving a home to those who don’t feel represented by democrats or republicans anymore.
I want people to vote honestly. Even with all of these issues I have with the democrats I still voted for Kamala. The point is broadening the discussions so people aren’t afraid to be honest about politics.
Again, you can keep lying to yourself and others, but I won’t.
They are ignored because they are spoiler candidates. Because they do nothing when its not Presidential election time.
Because Jill Stein is a spoiler candidate.
You can keep trying to selectively ignore parts of this, but it doesnt change anything. I’ll say again - if they wanted to effect real change, they would be going for local, state, and then federal seats in all elections.
But they aren’t. Because Jill Stein is a spoiler candidate and nothing more.
Your mind won’t be changed, you’re going to keep saying the same stuff, I get that.
I mention it for others who read this thread. Working Families Party is a great example of a third party that actually is working for change, and collaborates to stop the far right.
The Green Party, and Jill Stein, is actively working in a way to the advantage of the far right, as well as blatantly working directly with them. Which makes her… dun dun dun… a spoiler candidate.
I didnt vote for the green party. I voted for kamala in the federal election and chose the working class party for the rest that I could, and democrats where I couldn’t.
I’d argue that all Democrats should vote for literally any third party if they are in a non-contested state, if one of those exists.
Other than that though, I still respect the freedom to vote for what you believe in, and do not think Jill Stein is at least knowingly a “Russian asset” if you want to call it that.

I would agree if, and only if:

You can say spoiler candidate all you want, I’m not sure why you think that will change my mind.

So yeah, I’ll keep repeating it.
I didnt vote for the green party. I voted for kamala in the federal election and chose the working class party for the rest that I could, and democrats where I couldn’t.
Does that satisfy you?
Thats wonderful!
I still want to make sure people know what Jill Stein is, and don’t throw away their vote to her as the republicans she collaborates with want.
