Stein is not now, and has not been for the last several elections, a serious contender. She exists simply to be a spoiler candidate for the left side of American politics. She has not moved the needle at all in terms of national policy - or even discourse - for as long as I’ve been aware of her career in politics. She’s an abjectly awful champion of a party that claims to be the champion of ecological causes in the US. This is coming from someone who cares about the environment a whole hell of a lot, but who also understands the infuriating idiosyncrasies of the American electoral system.
Do you not find this ironic when Kamala was the first candidate to drop out in 2020 because she could not even get 1% of the votes?
Stein is not a spoiler candidate. She is one of the few serious candidates in the race.
Harris is spoiling the Democrats chances of winning by being an abjectly awful candidate and supporting awful policies.
You evidently have a very different understanding of reality than I do.
We’ll see how it pans out in about 36 hours + however the fuck long it takes whatever litigation and electoral bullshittery Trump is surely going to try to pull off.
I don’t know anyone who thinks that she is.
The Democratic party is the spoiler for the left side of American politics.
Maybe you do, maybe you don’t 🤷
