An inconvenient truth for Jill Stein, the Green Party protest candidate for president, is that there are only two candidates who can win the presidency on Nov. 5, and she isn’t one of them.
The other inconvenient truth for her and her avowed progressive supporters is that every protest vote from the left against Vice President Kamala Harris is a vote for former President Donald Trump.
i agree with that framing for sure. But normally there is nuance? I have been voting for a long time and they have always been framed as life or death. There is no room for nuance in American politics, never has been. It’s by design.
