If you like the ideas of the Green Party, vote for them at the local level. The fact that they don't seem to want to govern at the local level is enough for me to ignore them as an option.
Not this shit again. Our country literally might not survive another Donald Trump presidency, which is what you're helping happen by supporting a 3rd-party candidate when we have a 2-party system.
Keep Trump and his goons from taking power
Vote local. This is where things like ranked-choice voting and reproductive rights are created and have impact
When it's not "first past the post", vote for whoever you want, guilt-free! At this point, there's no such thing as a spoiler candidate...
I used to hear people complain that Stein sat at a table with Putin and I assumed it was at a charity event or state dinner but it turns out she was a special guest for the 10th anniversary of the Russian state funded TV propaganda network RT in Moscow.
As someone else mentioned, Jill is a great Green party candidate for Democrats because she sucks. She's not that young, has Russian baggage, and isn't the new face that could make the party more popular. The philosopher dude, West, seemed a bit more dangerous, but Stein being their nominee drills in the fact that there are no viable 3rd parties. The real strategy has been that of the DSA, where they promote their own candidates within the two party system. It's both realistic, and far more effective than throwing your vote away.
The only people who will vote for a known spoiler like Jill Stein are to far gone to have really been potential Biden voters.
You know what would be amazing, if a third party candidate would run and then demand policy position concessions form the Democratic nominee in exchange for dropping out, rather than running through the election and risking a Republican presidency.
I understand Jill Stein's connections to Russia are because of RT (Russia Today), who was publishing lots of US progressive content back in 2016, at a time when no US media would touch any of it. Yea, it sucks that we had to have Russia of all places publish progressive content, such as Pro Bernie Sanders, StandingRock protests, and Green Party positions to get any visability AT ALL. So Stein was at a table with other people who were getting their issues published by RT, and Putin joined in. Now I wouldn't get anywhere near any RT content.
These comments are hilarious. All y'all arguing about third parties being spoilers. I can't believe anyone bothers to vote. If we could change anything by voting they wouldn't let us do it.
