    “Once noble party” - ffs.

    Jill Stein is a bad actor in this election, she understands how the electoral college works and she understands she’s weakening the democratic party position. But let’s not blame shift - the Democrats could be much better on climate change then they are today and if they were better Stein’s BS wouldn’t have such an easy time attracting voters. I dislike the title posing it as “Stein may hand Trump the whitehouse again.”

      Even if the argument about getting X% of votes was true, the states to campaign heavy in would be the deep blue/red states. Especially since they tend to get ignored by candidates.

      Instead she sticks to the states where <30k votes could decide the election and the market is saturated with the most expensive ad costs

      It’s blantantly obvious what’s she’s doing.

        The only person who would represent me is myself, and I wouldn’t vote for myself because I don’t want that shitty job
