    >Jill Stein doesn’t give, as the old saying goes, a flying f*ck about democracy. Instead, she’s all about how famous she can become and how much money she can grift off her repeated presidential campaigns. It’s a damn dangerous game.

    I mean…. I don’t really have anything to add to that completely accurate summary.

  2. She is a ghoul

    Not only does she help Trump, she’s the reason we can’t have an actual Green Party.

    Muslims in Michigan who vote for Jill Stein should not be surprised when they get their deportation order from the Trump Administration.

    Those who think Trump is not going to do it forget that the Conservative Supreme Court gave Trump total immunity, that Trump wants to be a dictator and that Trump lives for the adulations of his followers and takes advice from Stephen Miller, a known islamophobe.

    So there you go, let the Muslims vote for Stein and seal their own fate.

    I’m a firm believer that we need to break up the two major parties and switch to a proportional representation system instead of this winner takes all nonsense. I’m also a New York state resident who gets to support smaller parties via our fusion ballot system while still voting for a viable candidate.

    The Greens are almost never on any of my ballots, not national, not local, not even as an extra option for a candidate running on multiple party lines. In the US they only appear every 4 years to try to ride voter frustration and solicit donations and the folks who fall for them never seem to get that the wool’s been pulled over their eyes.

    She’s a Russian asset bought and paid for by the Kremlin. Her views on Ukraine line up EXACTLY to the official stance coming out of the Kremlin. This woman is not just a grifter, she’s much worst than that. She’s someone who has sold out her country for money, influence, and some perceived grudge she has for the mainstream political left.

  6. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://newrepublic.com/article/187038/jill-stein-green-party-grifter-hand-trump-white-house) reduced by 93%. (I’m a bot)
    *****
    > Fresh off her 2016 political quacksalvery, in which she handed that year's election to Donald Trump, this professional grifter-who's been doing real damage to the Green Party for over a decade-is trying to get Trump back into the White House.

    > In 2016, Hillary Clinton lost Wisconsin to Trump by 22,748 votes; Stein carried 31,072 votes.

    > Stein is working hard to win the votes of disaffected Muslims in Michigan and Wisconsin, among other swing states, and could well deny Harris the White House this year just like she so proudly did to Clinton in 2016.

  7. I think more people are onto her grift than they were in 2016 and the environmental difference between Biden/Harris vs Trump is so massive that I feel less will fall for her bullshit.

    That said, fuck her for ruining a green party and fuck her for being a russian asset.

  8. The Green Party has become a Russian operative, thanks to Stein and her ilk, strictly designed to keep Dems out of the White House. It has nothing to do with what the Green Party stands for or what it was originally intended to do, i.e., become a viable third party.

  9. SirhanSirhanSoloSolo on

    Didn’t she raise a bunch of money after the 2016 election because she was gonna use that money to force some recounts, and then she did nothing and kept the money?

    Female Ross Perot with 90% less policy and 100% less interest in actually serving.

  11. Arguing against Jill Stein grifters is somehow worse than Trump supporters. I lost a friend because they were adamantly sucked into her grift and just a while ago found some idiot that just doesn’t understand how reality works in US elections.

    They’re so against the genocide in Hamas they’re willing to let a guy that openly discriminates against Muslims into power to somehow stop it. How does this make sense?

    You have to be brain dead if you think magically a third party is going to do any good at this stage. She’s gonna get maybe 1% in a few counties at best, and all this does is hurt the only party that will be willing to help their cause.

  12. The creation of opposing political parties is an extension of the first past the post system used by the US for the majority of elections. If the easiest way to win is to get 50+1, then you’re inevitably going to get two parties that represent the majority of viewpoints to get to 50+1.

    The Greens and Libertarians aren’t real political parties, in the sense that they have zero chance of getting to 50+1 in all but the most unusual circumstances. They exist as outliers preventing another party from getting to 50+1.

    With that being said, if the Greens, Libertarians, or anyone else were remotely interested in creating a true alternative to Democrats or Republicans the first thing they would do is advocate for ranked choice, establish sufficient support and more importantly wins at the local and state level to demonstrate viability, and create enough groundswell to prevent either Democrats OR Republicans from winning at a national level without them as part of a coalition government.

    As is, neither the Greens nor Libertarians have demonstrated the ability to do that. As a result, calling them political parties is a bit of a misnomer – at best they’re advocacy groups, and at worst they’re grifters.

    With that being said, Stein is 100% a grifter. She shows up every four years to play Presidential spoiler and does nothing in-between to build the Green party.

    I dunno. Kamala is the sane vote Democrats and many in the middle are going to vote for her. Sure trump will draw votes from the middle as well but many Republicans exist believe it or not who don’t like him especially after Jan. 6 and his rhetoric and history of attacking allies who just disagree with him even one time. 

     Wil trump pull enough votes to cover that loss? Lots of those will prob vote stein. I really don’t see her picking up a lot of democratic votes to make a difference. Old school Republicans will more than likely vote for stein over the other two. I see trump losing more votes in this political gamble to help a traitor win. People are tired of hearing the name trump this will show how much in the end.

  14. Coming from a country with a real Green Party 🇳🇿I find this more than a little confusing.
    She is working to get two men elected who think the solution to the economy is Drill, Drill, Drill.
    Do they have any allegiances with other Green Parties internationally?

  15. Routine-Effort-583 on

    Why are her speaking engagements funded by GOP donors? It’s like RFK Jr. all over again.

  16. If Trump wins again, and Project 2025 passes, there will be a lot of blood on not just MAGA and Trump’s hands, but Jill Stein and her little privileged followers too.

    Current green party supports project 2025, otherwise they wouldn’t be pulling this shit.

  17. MultilpeResidenceGuy on

    Why is this bitch still running? Talk about the need for mental health care in this country. The “Green Party” will never be a thing. The next viable party will spin off the Reps or. Dems. Remember the Tory party?

    These 3rd party fringe wannabes just toss elections. And generally not in the direction they prefer.

    Her IQ has to be under 100. Much like Trumps.

  18. lancer-fiefdom on

    She’s a Russian Asset pure and simple… but the real idiots are anybody who votes 3rd party in a presidential election.

  19. People need to vote in such high numbers that even the few she lures away can’t affect the outcome.

  20. She is this generation’s Lyndon LaRouche. My money is on her start appearing on RT as the Green Party collapses into irrelevance.

    Vote like your life without another 4 years of a narcissistic ass clown depends on it.
