  • I’ve never heard a single position of hers that is too liberal. Even Andrew Yang was given his time to make his case. Voters said no.

    The problem is that she’s not actually popular enough with voters to get elected, let alone popular enough in the liberal half of the country to get nominated. She’s saying the game is rigged because she doesn’t actually have a chance.

    The game actually favors her. RCV would help a moderate like Manchin get elected.





  • Any third party presidential candidate that aligns mostly (or entirely) with one of the other parties but doesn’t join them is at best chicken shit. If you can’t convince half of the population which is closest to you politically, you’re not going to convince the other half.

    The only way a third party candidate would even theoretically work is if they were moderate (think Joe Manchin) where they would appeal to moderates from both parties.

    Someone like Jill Stein has no business running outside of the Democratic Party. If she can’t convince the Dems, she’s not convincing the rest of the country. Running as a Dem and convincing 26% of voters is her best road to the presidency, but she knows she’ll never get that much support.
