While Ms. Stein condemns both “zombie political parties” as tools of Wall Street and war profiteers, her campaign has focused largely on hammering Ms. Harris, blaming the White House she serves for relentless violence in Gaza and Lebanon.
And Democrats, as never before, are focused on Ms. Stein.
The party has prepared a negative ad blitz for the election’s final weeks, its first-such effort ever directed at a third-party candidate. Fearful that Ms. Stein might divert critical votes in places like Michigan, Democrats are also pressing their case on billboards plastered recently across swing states:
“Jill Stein Helped Trump Once. Don’t Let Her Do It Again.”
She dismisses the “spoiler mythology” that has come to define her mainstream identity, noting — accurately enough — that some of her supporters would never back Ms. Harris anyway.
She says that Democrats would do well to look inward, disputing that she bears any responsibility for Mr. Trump’s fortunes, then or now.
“Those conversations never go anywhere,” Ms. Stein, 74, said in a wide-ranging interview.
What even is her endgame?
My take:
To demonstrate that there is a more leftist population in the US public than is regularly recognized and shift the entire discussion in that direction.
To create a strong alternative to the major pro-corporate parties that is more in line with the rest of the liberal parties around the world.
To oppose the highly organized far right.
No, I won’t vote for her this year. But I can appreciate the above goals.
This is not how you do this. You don’t disappear and pop up for a few months every four years. That is not how a legitimate political party operates.
She clearly does not give a shit about making the Green Party a legitimate alternative.
To draw votes away from the Democratic party nominee at the behest of her Russian donors. NBC News Link about the infamous dinner.
It’s not even funny calling you people blue MAGA anymore. You’re not different enough to warrant the modifier.
Where has Jill Stein been for the past four years? Do you think this is what politics is? Disappearing from public view (only popping up to dine with autocrats), only to show up when it’s election time? Do you think this is how legitimate political parties operate?
Where’s Kamala or Trump been? What’s your point?
Absolutely deranged. “the news I read didn’t give something page space therefore it doesn’t exist”
Like I even give a shit about Stein and wasn’t just making an observation about how your brain is broken with Rachel Maddow conspiracy theories.
Stein has already been cleared of colluding with Russia. Your image is ten years old.
The reason you might not be aware of this is the /Politics mods banning people who debunk it.
I dunno, I didn’t exactly see a ton of value in those posts.
You’re right, it was 2015, but as a simple layman I was aware of Russian meddling by the time this dinner happened. So if Jill and the Green party weren’t aware of how bad this would look, and how worthless an olive branch to Putin would be, then at the very least they’re too incompetent to be worth a vote. Unfortunately I did not know about this gaffe by the time of the election and even voted for Stein in that election, which I still regret.
No one is even talking about past collusion accusations. We are talking about right now.
It would be helpful to not leak a ten year old image in a seven year old article if there was evidence. Do present it.
If Stein was truly colluding with Russia the Democrats would have had a legal foot to bar her from running. And they would not need to make up crazy conspiracy theories which rely on censorship.
Everyone I don’t like is a Russian asset, the Democrat’s guide to political discussion
I know, but what is she getting out of it?
Money and a chance for power, obviously.
The already successful medical doctor probably int doing it for money. She’d just run as a dem if she wanted money.AOC has 10x’d her net worth by grifting horny liberals that want to pretend they’re left wing.
To beat the duopoly
To not have the kompromat that Putin is holding over her be released publicly?
This is an interesting take
I have no evidence to support it, besides her ties to the Kremlin that have already been widely reported on (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=jill+stein+russia).
GREEN Party = Getting Republicans Elected Every November
WOW YOU DON’T SAY
WOW I DO SAY!! Literally, you even quoted me saying it…
It sure would be par for the course and explain QUITE a lot about Jill Stein and her behavior/comments regarding Putin, Russia, and Putin’s political enemies in the USA. Good thing I’m just a random person on the internet posting an opinion. Feel free to dismiss my opinion, and we’ll see what fraction of a percentage of the vote she receives in November lol
Lmao what are you doing right now? Puffing your chest out over a third party candidate not being viable?
The subject is your use of
Alex JonesRachel Maddow unhinged conspiracy theories to fill in the gaps between your horrible nazi ideology and your positive self image.
